Great small tour

We had Alan as a tour guy, who is very knowledgeable, intelectual person who wanted us to love this region. Escorted us through towns, so we didn't waste time wondering around.

Great way to see Cassis and the Calanques. Wine tasting was fun.

Loved the boat ride to the Calanques. We had lots of free time to explore Cassis. Wine tasting was fun. Enjoyed going to the top of the cliff for incredible views.

Touring the medieval villages was well worth the time.

Our guide was Jerome and he was awesome. Throughout the tour he explained what each stop was and how long it would take to get there in case any of us needed to take a pit stop before the upcoming drive. Jerome was knowledgeable about each destination and answered all of our questions. He has a sommelier background so he was familiar with the Alsace wine industry, the area wine makers, and the technical aspects of growing grapes in the region. He even made an unscheduled stop along the Vine Route so we could get an up close look at grape vines. Jerome explained the pruning strategies used to maximize the grape flavors. I had little knowledge of Strasbourg prior to my visit, other than the German influence due to the proximity to the border. I was pleasantly surprised about all pretty villages and castles in the area. As well as getting some dining tips while in Strasbourg.

We had an incredible time! Miriam our guide was super friendly and informative, and was happy to answer all our questions. We visited three winemakers and tasted multiple varieties at each, and got to experience all the grapes the region has to offer. Would highly recommend, we loved this experience!

Thank you Valentin for the wonderful day! The Burgundy Villages and Wine tour was exactly what we were hoping for. There were lots of wine tours offered in this region, but we wanted to also get out to see the small villages and countryside. This was the only tour we could find like it and we are so glad to have spent our day out with Valentin.

This tour was delightful, entertaining, informative, and I am so happy to have learned about the Alsatian wine country from an excellent and knowledgeable guide such as Alain. He involved everyone in the experience and we all listened to see what he had to say and what we could learn. It is difficult to explain how fantastic he was and I think the members of the trip felt the same way. We went in this trip as strangers and left feeling smarter and excited about the day we spent with the group and Alain. I would go on any tour with him. Such a wonderful adventure. None of my words can express what a day it was!!!

Carlos explained the sights in detail. The tour was well paced

The itinerary is well planned and the trip is fruitful, originally I thought it will be very packed for visiting so many places in just 9 hours, yet it wasn’t, those interesting and beautiful small towns are worth visiting, each place got almost 1-1.5 hrs for touring and explore which I think it’s reasonable timing. Carlo is very informative and nice. Overall the experience of this trip is a good one

Spent the day on a Chateaux/St.Emilion tour with Mirela. She was kind, funny, super knowledgeable and extremely down to earth. She made our small group feel like family. Loved this your and the wine tastings were numerous!

We enjoyed seeing both Castles. The tour guide gave good explanations of what we were seeing. The castles are so large that the narration could have gone on for hours- we left wanting more. We did not like the van. We were sitting in the back and could not hear any of her talks. It was so frustrating. I don’t know why she didn’t have a little microphone system set up. For the cost of the tour, we felt cheated. Not at all worth what we paid.

EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO ALSATIAN WINE

We really enjoyed this. Small friendly group (mixed British and American) in van with friendly guide, stops at two wineries for tastings. We learned a lot about the wines of Alsace and tasted a range, and the very nice vignerons were happy for us to make small purchases of a bottle or two (we didn't have to buy cases). You get to taste wines you can't get in the UK such as muscat (dry, whatever we used to think) and klevener.

Moving, informative and fun

Our tour guide, Maggie, was brilliant! She knew so much history and was able to give us excellent insight into what happened during that fateful time. The visit to the cemetery was very moving, especially as Maggie got us there in time for Taps. Although a sad and serious tour, Maggie was able to provide light moments of fun and she was full of interesting stories, both tragic and heartening. Thank you, Maggie, for an outstanding tour and for sharing your knowledge with us!

Valentine was an excellent guide with great information to share. Not too much walking but enough to see things.

We had a wonderful day with a small group of two couples ,us from the USA and the other from Chili . Our host had a good understanding of history and the locale, answered questions w/o being intrusive. The castle was great as well as the visits to the local villages. He was charming and. Personable. Great day together.

Our guide Ines is a charming woman with extensive knowledge of the area we visited. She is also a safe, skilled driver. We stopped at the monastery outside of St. Remy where Van Gogh spent a year of R&R. It’s an optional stop and not included in the basic tour but well worth the time. I would recommend it
