5Great wine tour
We had a great time on the tour. Really enjoyed the wine experiences and our guide was very knowledgeable.
4Tour guide was insightful & friendly
It was a fun day and Chiro (sp?) was a very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. She really put in the effort to bring a diverse group of people together, which I appreciated. With that said I took one star away for the van, it was not to th standards I have experienced on similar full-day tours. I expected something that would allow couples to sit together and this did not, and it was tight for the journey. But the stops were insightful and paced well-this would be a great trip if you can book it out for your whole group.
5Enjoyable Day
Had a wonderful day exploring St. Emilion and the Medoc area. Chihiro was an excellent and friendly guide. We would recommend this tour.
5The Bordeaux Experience: Wine and Then Some
Really enjoyed this day tour with our guide Yev from Rustic Vines! What a great learning experience and exposure to the various wineries and vineyards of the right and left banks of Bordeaux. Highly recommend and ask for Yev!
5A lovely experience.
It was a great day, the excellent guide introduced us to the Bordeaux wine region and classifications. We visited 3 wine producers + tastings and we had a lovely lunch at Chtx Clos des Abbesses. All three Chtx received us very well! I recommend this tour without hesitation.
4Very good wine tasting tour
Enjoyable because we made it that way. Guide didnt really add anything except driving and hosting a short tour in St Emilion. Wine tasting was well done and you do drink a lot of wine!

About Bordeaux
Bordeaux, on the Garonne in south-west France, is a stone-fronted port city and the centre of one of the world's great wine regions.
The pale limestone façades of the eighteenth century give Bordeaux an elegant, even look, and the curve of the Garonne, the Port of the Moon, is part of its UNESCO listing. Place de la Bourse faces the river, and the Miroir d'eau, a shallow reflecting pool, mirrors it. The Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral with its separate Pey-Berland tower, and the long pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine make up the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Bordeaux: Place de la Bourse (Place Royale), Porte Cailhau, Grosse Cloche.
