Great value and uniqueness

I really enjoyed this tour, very comfortable van, the tour guide and Château guides were great. You learn a lot about general Burdeaux wines and what makes them special. St. Emilion its a great addition since you get to see a beautiful town not just vineyards. Its very intimate, the groups are small and the guides very responsive to questions and prompts. I loved the Chateau du Tailhas the owner leads the guided visit and tasting and it's amazing how much you learn, you can feel the passion and love for the wine business. Be sure to eat before since the food tasting is at the end of the tour. I would also recommend to visit the Cite Du Vin before the tour, its a more enriching experience that way.

I like the people we joined and tour guide however our schdule was too rush and the activity wad not really well for the person who like and know the basi wine knowledge. I wanted to stay at saint emilion more.we just saw the charch. I think the guide couldn't manage out time well. So i was a little disappointed. We couldn't go small village also.
