Our tour guide gets 5 stars. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and is very friendly.
The vineyard we visited in the morning was not interesting. The lady who introduced the wine process had a very strong accent which was hard to understand. The two bottles of wines she asked us to taste were low quality.
In the afternoon, the two wine tasting were very good. So overall, the trip gets 4 stars.

Although the weather was rather wet our guide/driver was excellent making our visit interesting and friendly. The two visits were very different which enhanced the enjoyment. Thank you.

Excellent tour - Francois the driver and guide was knowledgeable, had excellent English and was entertaining to boot. The tour was a great mix of sightseeing, learning and tasting/ creating. Very pleased. Only constructive feedback would be that we were not aware the tour was not run by viator, so there was some confusion when we were picked up. A notification about that when booking would be useful (I.e. the name of the tour company).

I am glad I took the tour. One will learn so much about Bordeaux wine, and background of various important vineyards in the area. It is a great way to experience and appreciate Bordeaux.

The tour was very disappointing. It was done in French and English, but the guide spent a lot more time addressing the French speaking patrons, often missing several key points of the trip when she translated to English. Definitely do not recommend this tour and will probably not use Vaitor again.

This was tremendouly fun and educational. Included a side visit to Chateau Margaux's vines. Also included tasting at Chateau Gruaud Larose. Learned about the viticulture as well as the winemaking. i would totally recommend this to anyone traveling to Bordeaux with a little time to spare.

First, and most importantly, François was a terrific guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining, and I highly recommend him as a tour guide. The two locations selected for the tour were very interesting, and it was wonderful to meet the owner of Chateau Lamarque, in her living room while tasting her excellent wines. The Gruaud-Larose tour was very comprehensive, and again, the selection of wines for tasting and the cheese/charcuterie offered was excellent. I would love to take the St-Emilion tour next time.

We had a lovely day with our tour guide. We toured the Medoc region and had a tasting at two different chateaux. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations in Bordeaux. The tour was fun and relaxed and very informative!

The Bordeaux Vineyards Half Day wine tasting was the perfect way to spend a Saturday in Bordeaux. We visited two chateaus and enjoyed a tasting at each. It was just the right amount of time. Our tour guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time!

We took the English speaking tour. Very nice that they offer both. Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts about the region and the vineyards. First chateau we visited featured Sauterne wine and the Chateau owner was charming and funny. Second Chateau we visited was a much larger operation and it was fascinating to see. We received lots of good information on making wine and tasting the wine was pure joy!

Great tour guide. I was impressed with the quality of the wines we tasted but a little disappointed by the limited number of them.

It was not a small group as announced, it was a big bus full of people. The guide decided to speak 80% in French, even when there was only two French bpeople on the bus. The guide didn´t know much about wine and winemaking and didn´t translat the words of the wine makers (who spoke French)

My husband and I went on this tour with 4 other participants. Marie our tour guide was extremely knowledgable about the local wine industry and area. The two wineries we visited were very different. The wine tasting in St. Emillion was the best part along with the free time to explore. Worth it.

The trip was great! A bit too much of information about the whole process, we were looking for more of a demonstration. The guide was very good, she was very informative about everything. It is worth doing at this great price!
