Absolutely superb from start to finish. Excellent guide with great knowledge and very engaging. We went to two very different Chateaus which were very different and super interesting. Also passed by Chateau Margaux for a few photos! Loved it, thanks so much. Highly recommended

Absolutely fabulous, our guide Rubin was awesome and very knowledgeable. Well worth the money, visited Chateau Paveil de Luz and Chateau Dauzac for tastings and tours. We even had time to go and walk the grounds of the Chateau Margaux! Well worth the trip.

A great opportunity to explore this incredible region for an afternoon - Vincent was generous with his local knowledge and full of interesting stories that made our short time here very memorable. We visited two lovely vineyards with very enthusiastic and articulate hosts, and of course ones with fine wines!
