Wine cab

Our bilingual guide delivered the information first in French to the French-speaking half of the group (more than half perhaps), then in English to us English-speakers. My husband and I understand enough French that we heard he was shortening his English version quite a bit, especially as the tour went on, which was frustrating for us. We could see him offering the info in French with enthusiasm and detail, then turning to us with a “I just was saying how X or Y.:.” One sentence to summarize for us after many sentences in French. I think he was tired by the second half of the 2-hour tour and it was a large group and that’s a lot of info to deliver in 2 languages. I get it. But it made us feel dismissed. I’d recommend offering a full English language tour as advertised though I realize the finances of it are better when combining 2 groups.

Margot was an excellent guide. She was fun and full of energy and also very knowledgeable about the Bordeaux wine regions. We learned about the Left and Right Banks and the Entre Deux Mets. Our tour of Clos Systey in Saint-Emilion was very interesting and fun. A true family-owned operation. Then we toured the town of Saint-Emilion which was an incredible look back into medieval times. Overall, an excellent tour!!

I liked the range of the wines we tasted, we got full information about the wines from our guide and we had opportunity to discuss and share our opinions with each other quietly, there was no rush. The booking process was quite simple and comfortable also, the price was also acceptable. I would absolutely recommend this offer to my friends :)

Easy to purchase at the tourist office though it would be handy if it could be sent to overseas visitors who purchase in advance. It is essential for visitors to Bordeaux as you have advance payment to all the major attractions at a very significant saving.

The tour was great. Ludmilla was a great guide. And there was only one other person so it was essentially a private tour. She is so knowledgeable and the wineries were quite different but both really good. I highly recommend this company and this tour.

We enjoyed a nice ride along the river. The views were pretty good--though most of the more interesting buildings are in the city center. But getting out on the river to see the city and learn a few things about the lift bridge, the history of trade in Bordeaux, and a few other bits along the way was certainly a worthwhile experience.
