The tour was very nice, but the guide made it exceptional with his culture, passion and competence. The bus was a bit old, and it was a bit too hot inside.

I enjoyed the lunch served at Bordeaux city two wineries visited were reasonable and the guide did a good job. At times, it was little difficult to comprehend due to her French accent, but what do you expect, we are in France. Museum tours, both at Bordeaux and at the Chateau were very educational to me because I am a home winemaker as a hobby. I wish I had little more time to spend at the museum to explore and learn. I recommend a quick tour of the vineyard during the trip next time.

Worth doing but probably just the afternoon portion where you go to the winery and the town of St Emillion if you are only visiting Bordeaux for 1-2 days. Doing both the morning and afternoon parts made for a very long day 8 hours but I will say the lunch that was included in the tour was A and top notch!!!

Morning schedule was a little bit boring, but generally good tour and worth doing it. I definitely enjoyed wine tasting of Chateau Giscours.

Great trip. The visit to the cheese restaurant was a fantastic surprise. Fabulous atmosphere and quality. Well worth a visit even on its own. Our tour guide was great, especially when I was disappointed with the vintage of wine we tried. She quickly organised for the owner of the vineyard to recommend different wines, which was definitely worthwhile. A fantastic trip that I would highly recommend to anyone. Full day trip is a better value and more fun that just half day trip. Only criticism was that some of the translators were difficult to understand. Otherwise it was fantastic and I would definitely go again and recommend to friends.

There was a social aspect to the trip which I really enjoyed. Our visit to the house of Calvi and walk around Bordeaux were absolutely excellent. Our guide was very pleasant and friendly. The afternoon trip to the vineyards was crowded but still very enjoyable.

I thought too much of the tour was spent in the museum in the morning. It was an interesting session to walk through the museum and learn the history, but because the guide spoke first in French and then in English, it took way too long. I think there should be two separate tour guides, one French-speaker and one English-speaker. Because of how long we took in the museum, we were rushed through lunch in order to be able to board the bus that took us to the chateaus. Visiting the chateaus was a great experience, but once again, I think there should have been two tour guides, one for French and one for English. I also think lunch should be at a chateau, outside, to enjoy the weather and the views.

The morning tour and lunch were fantastic. The city walking tour across cobblestoned streets was very long, and tours of wineries got to be a bit redundant if you have had winery tours before.

The lunch was an absolute highlight, set in an old style fromagerie with a cheese cellar. However, much of the day was spent learning about wine when we were keen to get into a large variety of wine!

It wasn't what we expected. We spent half the tour not even amongst the vineyards but in Bordeaux, walking the around the city. Also, we only went to 2 estates where we only tasted one particular wine at each estate. We expected to do wine 'tasting', not taste only one wine.
