Excellent, Guillame was super friendly, very knowledgeable and curated the tour perfectly! Thank you Guillame, we enjoyed the whole experience.
We had a fantastic time on our private Medoc region wine tour. The driver was fantastic and taught us alot about the region. The car so comfortable and so much fun. All sorts of people were waving at us because the car is such a unique classic. The wine tours were private and our lunch was one of the best meals that we had during our entire stay in France. What a fantastic experience!
Great experience all around - very well planned and informative
Guillaume provided the perfect day for us in Medoc! He took us to 3 prestige’s Chateaus and even arranged a picnic lunch for us at one of them. He was so nice and knowledgeable about the area and about wine. The car was immaculate and his driving superb! Perfect spring day for riding around in a classic convertible! We have been on a lot of wine tours in different countries and this was by far the best of the best! It’s a must! Thank you Guillaume for making our trip to Bordeaux one to remember forever!!
Wonderful afternoon enjoying the beautiful Medoc area in an incredible Citroen! Guillaume had so much knowledge of the area & the Chateaux, also if you are interested in the vehicle he also has so much knowledge to share!
We were on a river cruise but wanted to do our own thing one day. We met Guillaume at the Intercontinental hotel. He had prearranged tours of two wineries. He was a great tour guide. We had to be dropped off at Pouillac so he charged extra. Great experience overall!
Book this tour!!! We had an absolutely perfect day with Guillaume, the car is incredible and such a chic and comfortable way to see the vineyards of Bordeaux. The chateau’s were excellent and will be a memory we keep forever. Highly recommend for a memorable day in Bordeaux!
Dear Jessica, Thank you so much for your wonderful review: it truly made my day! I am delighted that your Médoc wine tour exceeded your expectations and that the châteaux I selected gave such a lasting impression. Sharing these exceptional estates with passionate guests like yourself is exactly what drives me every day. It was a real pleasure to have you aboard my DS, and I hope our paths will cross again one day, perhaps for a new adventure in Saint-Émilion, Sauternes or along the Arcachon Bay!
Nice personal tour in a lovely classic car. Highly recommended. We left the choice of wineries to the driver, Guillaume, and got to see a larger old chateaux with modern tech and another biodynamic chateaux.
Guillaume showed us an incredible experience. The tour and tastings felt like an intimate experience and felt special to us. Gave us a connection to not only the heart of the wineries, but the soul of the people there. The Citroen was an incredible ride and so luxurious. This was a very special gem that we felt so lucky to be able to experience. Thank you so much Guillaume!
A great day in Margaux and St Julien. The car was beautiful and comfortable. Guillaume was a gentlemen and very knowledgeable about the region's wine. A great day was had.
