Great experience! It’s a full day so be prepared, but so much to see and explore. Visiting the church and town was very special, and you could see how intertwined all wine and associated businesses are. The picnic lunch was delicious and at the right time, and despite the 39 degree heat, our hosts an tour guides took care of us and made sure we enjoyed our day to the fullest.
Dante has excellent knowledge of wines, is super friendly, and the vineyards visited are of high quality.
Absolutely incredible! Yev was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and every aspect was beyond our expectations! Highly recommend
The tour was straightforward without many detours, and we did a lot and learned a lot without wasting time.
Muchas gracias por tu opinión. Apreciamos que hayas compartido tu experiencia y esperamos verlos de nuevo en otra visita a Bordeaux.
Tour guide was amazing and quite knowledgeable. We went to the village for a tasting and then 2 additional wineries. The trip lasted about 6 hours including transportation to/from pickup point. The wine tasting and lunch were excellent
Thank you very much for your review. We’re delighted to hear that the day flowed so well and that you enjoyed both the visits and the overall experience. It’s wonderful to know the tasting, the lunch, and the pace of the tour were just what you were hoping for. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and would be happy to welcome you again in Bordeaux.
Wonderful experience!! Dante was a great host, all of the winery’s and places we stopped were wonderful. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and that you enjoyed all the wineries and stops throughout the day. Dante will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated his hosting — he truly loves sharing this region and its wines, and it shows.
We found this company by a stroke of luck through the internet. We booked three days in a row of private touring through Medoc, Saint Emilion. Paola set everything up for us and she was great! She was efficient and communicated well. Then our driver Dante picks us up. All I can say is he was such a delight! He spoke fluent Spanish, French and English but the best part was that he is a sommelier. One of the most informed and knowledgeable ones I have ever met. The entire three days went perfectly. I would highly recommend this company! 5 stars all the way!
Dear Jim, Thank you so much for your incredible review. It truly means a lot to us. I’m delighted to hear that your three days in Médoc and Saint‑Émilion were such a memorable experience and that everything flowed perfectly from start to finish. It was a pleasure arranging your itinerary, and I’m thrilled to know that Dante made such a strong impression. He’ll be very happy to hear your kind words — he genuinely loves sharing his passion for wine, and his knowledge as a sommelier is something we’re very proud to offer our guests. We’re grateful you found us and even more grateful that you trusted us with your time in Bordeaux. Knowing that you would highly recommend us is the best compliment we could receive. We hope to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to this region again. Warm regards
