Wonderful tour with a great guide

Tradene Ascui 10/30/2022

We loved every minute of our time with this Medoc wine tour. Our guide, Yan, was an amazing tour guide who had abundance of local knowledge seeing he was born and raised in the area. Plus he was a polite and very professional person. I give the tour 5 out 5 and in big part because of Yan. Upon our return one day we plan to do the St. Emilion tour and will look for Yan as our tour guide.

Answer from Jonathan Turban

Hi Tradene, Thank you so much for your wondeful review about Yan! When you get a chance could you share it on Tripadvsior reviews too?

Great half-day intro to the Medoc!

Gary Jackson 10/23/2022

The half day Medoc tour was a great introduction to the region. We had a small group...and two chateau stops for tours and tastings, but we also stopped and checked out the grounds of Chateau Margaux. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly...would highly recommend!

Great experience!

We loved the wine tour. Our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and charming. We didn't experience any difficulties in scheduling the tour. We would highly recommend that anyone interested in learning more about wine and getting to visit some of the wineries sign up for a great time.
