Excellent and Knowledgeable

Jolene Walter 07/13/2024

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in all things winery. We had a great time talking about Bordeaux and the region while we rode to and from our locations. I would absolutely recommend if you want a wonderful afternoon of wine and history to book this tour.

Excellent!

Great guided experience to two destinations, including wine tasting

Wonderful afternoon in beautiful wine region

Katherine Roycroft 07/09/2024

Our guide Francis was exceptional - his knowledge was limitless and his English excellent- he was also friendly, professional and courteous. The tour was great but would have liked to see an actual grape or quick tour of vineyard? And perhaps a little longer (45 mins) free time? But we enjoyed it and learned so much!

Such a fun afternoon!

Alyssa Wegelin 06/22/2024

Our experience with Bordeaux Wine Trails far exceeded our expectations! We thought it would just be a quick trip to St. Emilion to try some wine, but instead we had a fun and educational afternoon with Maud. We went to 2 wineries, 2 wine shops, and a cute shop to try some meats and cheeses. We tried some incredible wines and had the opportunity to buy bottles as well as ship bottles home. Our last winery, was just a fun atmosphere where we could get to know our fellow tour goers. It was so fun to chat with people from around the world over a bottle of wine! On our ride home, we were serenaded by our lovely tour guide Maud (we were newlyweds on our honeymoon). She made the drive fun for everyone! We would definitely do this tour again if we are ever in Bordeaux. Thank you!
