Wonderful full day Medoc wine tour with our excellent driver / guide Alex of wikitours. Alex was very knowledgeable and provided just the right amount of information allowing us free to enjoy the day in an un rushed manner. Would highly recommend this tour.
The guide did not show up to start the tour. No one tried to contact me to tell me of any delay. No ne answers the telephone when I called the tour company. SO AVOID THIS TOUR COMPANY. Since this was supposed to be a whole day tour, I have lost the day to go on some other tour.
This Medoc wine tour was a huge disappointment, though we loved wandering through the region full of so many iconic wineries. And Benjamin, our guide/driver, was excellent. My complaint is what was promised and what we received. I booked this excursion around April 20th. It promised three chateau stops for wine tasting, and a picnic lunch. We received two wine tastings, and we driven to a restaurant in Pauillac where we paid for our lunch. We did have cheese and bread at the first chateau stop in late morning. But that is not a lunch. Also, the wines we tasted were very average. I was hoping to buy some wine for an upcoming week with our daughter and husband. Nothing was good enough to buy. Both my wife and sister-in-law agreed. Also, the first chateau tasting included one rose, three whites, and three reds. I did not book a Medoc wine tour to drink white wines. This is not the Loire Valley. Yes, it was a Sunday and a lot of wineries were not open. This is no excuse for what we did not receive. We paid full price, plus the cost of lunch.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your Médoc experience didn’t meet your expectations, even though we’re glad you enjoyed the region and appreciated the service provided by Benjamin, your driver-guide. We would like to clarify a few points regarding the tour: Firstly, the Médoc wine region has evolved significantly in recent years, and white wines are now commonly produced and tasted in several châteaux as part of the complete experience. While red wines remain the signature of the Médoc, many estates are proud to showcase their full range, and this includes whites and rosés — which are often served to offer a more diverse tasting experience. Secondly, regarding the number of châteaux visits, we clearly mention during the booking process and in our communication that the schedule may vary depending on the day and availability, especially on Sundays, when many wineries are closed or have limited visiting hours. For your tour, we included Château La Loudenne, which is a beautiful estate but also quite far north in the Médoc. This longer drive limited the possibility to include a third château without significantly reducing the time spent at each stop — and we prioritize quality and comfort over rushing through visits. While we regret that you did not find the wines suited to your taste, we truly value your feedback and take it into consideration to continue improving our services. Kind regards, Customer Experience Team – Wikitour Bordeaux

I happened to be the only person signing up, so it (unexpectedly) became a private tour. The guide is very helpful and informative, and the wine tasting experience is excellent. We visited three chateaus and had a great interactions with the representatives. I had plenty of time exploring and tasting without being rushed. Overall, I will recommend this to other visitors.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you had such a wonderful experience on your Médoc wine tour. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the private feel of the day, the châteaux visits, and the time spent with the estate teams.
