A day discovering two famous bordeaux wine regions was fantastic. We had a wonderful and knowledable guide Estelle and she made our day very enjoyable. We visited a great choice of Chateaus and they all took enough time to discuss interesting topics about wine. We would definatelly recommend this tour further, it was something to remember! Thank you Estelle for going out of your way for us and for beeing such a friendly and funny guide.

We had a GREAT time with Estelle on our tour. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of her way to ensure that we all had an enjoyable day and a memorable experience. She went above and beyond to talk about not just the regions but the wines, and even pastries too! The best guide we have had on a tour! She also had a great relationship with the staff at each chateau, making it in turn a more personal experience. Five stars!

Very nice trip in a nice, family atmosphere. There were only four of us and I learned something new about wine. The highlight for me was the picnic in the castle garden, it was like in a fairy tale and of course there were fine Bordeau wines. Ilya was a very nice and competent guide. Thank you very much!
