The guide, Florian, was great. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and funny! I docked a star purely as they felt a little unorganised at the beginning and only gave the drinks etc toward the end of the cruise so it felt a bit rushed.

What I enjoyed most were the views—the boat had large windows so we could really take in the sights—and I also enjoyed the wines with dessert.

We’ve been married for many years and have traveled extensively; we loved this tour because of our guide’s warm and professional demeanor, both in terms of his knowledge of wine and his expertise about the area. We visited a family-run winery where we were welcomed and shown around by a young man who had extensive knowledge of the entire winemaking process and, of course, each and every step specific to that winery. In fact, since it was a family-run winery, I thought he was actually part of the family.
Then we went to the town of Saint-Émilion, where once again our guide shared his knowledge of the area’s history and traditions with us.
In short: we had a wonderful day, gaining new knowledge, enjoying breathtaking views, and experiencing the sheer pleasure that all of this brings!!!

The tour guide, Jade, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff at the chateau made us feel very welcome, starting the visit with a cool glass of wine in the garden. It was the best activity we did during our stay in Bordeaux!

The guide. The experience. The countryside. The history. The knowledge.
If you're wondering whether this is worth booking, my advice is simple, book it.
Engage with the tour, ask questions and have a great trip.
Thank you to the guide, you're great.
