Fun day in the dunes
Great experience kevin picked us up from the hotel. We first drove to the dunes a spectacular place for climbing and admiring the wonderful views from the top. Lunch with oysters and shrimps at a little restaurant was also great. Finally an hour in Arcachon. Overall a highly recommended experience Kevin was a great and fun driver/ guide.

Might be the best Viatour ever!
This day tour from Bordeaux with only 6 participants, felt private and very personal! The itinerary itself was delightful, 3 chateaux with wine tasting and photo stops at additional gorgeous locations! The lunch break took us to a coastal town with numerous restaurants to choose from. The real highlight of our trip was the guide, Dulce! She is knowledgeable, caring, friendly and all around gem! Due to a recent foot injury, my walking ability was a bit limited yet Dulce made sure that I was comfortable and able to enjoy the day to the fullest! I’ve used Viatour for years and can confidently say this was at least one of the top 3 tours we’ve ever taken!

Excellent introduction to wineries in the Bordeaux region
Lovely day out with friends. Our driver Antoine was friendly and knowledgeable. We explored the village of St Emillon, then had wine tours a 3 vineyards; Chateau Grangey - small, family run winery, Chateau Siran and my favourite Chateau Dauzac, before visiting Chateau Margaux for a photo stop. The lunch included was very tasty and catered for multiple food intolerances. Long day but highly recommend.

Our “Gran Crew” had the best day!
We had a fun-filled, FULL day with Roberto as we travelled to the left and right bank wine areas. The stop in St Emilion was the best of all— would have love to spend the entire day there. What a charming, amazing town. Roberto combined the history and wine discussion as we moved through the day. Our tour was on a Sunday, so many Chateaus were not open for us to visit, but Rustic Tours did a great job of curating tours that accommodated us on the weekend. We definitely plan to come back and focus on each of the areas in separate tours, as it was a long day. But SO fun and we had the best time what we called our “Grand Crew!” Thank you, Roberto!

Fun and relaxing wine tour
We highly recommend this tour. We liked everything about it. Our driver and tour operator, Paola, was pleasant, informative and very helpful throughout the journey. The picnic was very scenic and the chateaus we visited were top notch. The van was spacious and secure. Would definitely do it again.

Lovely day
This was a lovely, full day. Our driver was very pleasant and gave us information as she drove without being tedious with details. We visited three wineries, ranging from a small family production on up to a large worldwide distributor. A simple picnic right beside the vines was so pleasant.

Perfect tour for Saint-Emilion and to explore some local wineries
We had a great experience - we are normally not fans of organized group tours, but this was one I would recommend. We had a small group of six (including my husband and I) - fortunately, it was a good group. Nice air conditioned vehicle (given it was very hot out). Our host Hugo was super knowledgeable, fun and engaging. We explored three great wineries and had enough time in the village of Saint-Emilion to explore on our own, which is what we wanted.

Saint-Emillion Village/WineryTasting Tour
Our Guide, Xavier was excellent. From start to finish he shared so much information with the group. From the time we left Bordeaux he starting sharing even points of interest about Bordeaux and area.
When we arrived for the Saint-Emillion village visit he was quick to give us a few tips on extra highlights that are not often obvious to other tourists.
The visit to the Haut Rocher winery was excellent. The tour and wine tasting were very informative. The presentation gave us some great history on the winery as well as the present day process. The tastings/pairing were very nicely presented and appreciated by all. I would highly recommended OLALA!!

Tammy was EXTREMELY knowledgeable of the City Center
We had a wonderful walking tour of Bordeaux with Tammi! She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history, local insight, and hidden gems along the way. You could tell she truly knows Bordeaux inside and out. She navigated the city effortlessly and made getting around easy and enjoyable, which allowed us to relax and fully take in the experience. Tammi’s enthusiasm and expertise brought the city to life. We left feeling like we not only saw Bordeaux, but truly experienced it.

Best tour from Bordeaux!
Our guide, Marion, was excellent. Her cheery attitude and information about the wineries and the region provide us with a better understanding and appreciation for French wine. The two chateaux wineries she took us to were beautiful and their histories were very interesting. The lunch at Chateau De Dauphine was excellent! They had the best foie gras I've ever tasted at a light lunch. The daughter of a couple on the tour brought her parents on this tour because she enjoyed it the first time so much, Walking around St. Emilion was a highlight too. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's a privilege to walk through. I highly recommend this tour with Marion. She was an excellent driver, as well!
