    We had a wonderful day in St Emilion and had wine tasting at 3 private wineries with Katherine. She had a very good knowledge about the area and made the journey super special.

    This was anticipated to be the highlight and even the main purpose of our visit to Bordeaux and Catherine our guide made it absolutely so. She picked us up at our hotel in her lovely Range Rover, stopped off for a special local treat from the bakery en route and gave us lots of information about the history of the area and the appellations as we went. We visited 3 wineries each quite different from the others but all very interesting and worthwhile. The first one was especially lovely with a tasting of 5 wines inside the chateau. At the second and third , we saw the harvest in full flow as well as tasting more delicious wine. Between the first and second we had a lovely lunch in a restaurant just outside St Emilion which was delightful. Just a brilliant day, superbly organised and executed by Catherine. We would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a private tour experience.

    Our group of 13 (8 adults and 5 kids) took two tours during a weeklong visit to Bordeaux. One day to Saint Emilion and one to Medoc. Our guide, Margaux, was absolutely fantastic. Our group needed a lot of accommodations for the meals because our group included young kids and vegans. Margaux made sure everyone had delicious food to eat and the lunches on the tour days were some of the best meals we had in France. She also made sure that the kids had a place to hang out while the adults were learning about and tasting the wine. Margaux also accommodated our requests throughout both days including particular châteaux we wanted to see and adapting the tours so that we weren’t getting repeat information at each location. Margaux and our driver, Rashid, were patient with our large group and made both days a lot of fun. I would absolutely recommend tours with this company!

    If you're looking for a wine tour with a true wine expert and long-time part of the industry, look no further. The afternoon we spent with Benoit was incredible, and I learned more about French wine and St Emilion than I thought could be possible. He went out of his way to explain things, and made sure we weren't being overwhelmed or bothered by his passion for wine. Once he found out what we liked, he actually went out of his way to take us to one of his favorite Chateau's and had the owner (his friend) meet us for a private tasting. It was incredible and one of the highlights to my trip. That said, be advised that the itinerary listed is NOT what they set up for you. I would encourage the company to update that, as I signed up really wanting to go to Canon and Beauregard. Instead we went to Chateau Franc Mayne, Chateau La Dominique, and Chateau Ambe Tour Pourret. It was great to see the variety of these different chateaus, but they weren't what I had hoped to see while visiting Bordeaux. That said, being able to see St Emilion and have Benoit (who had made wine for 20+ years for one of the Chateaus) explain everything was definitely worth it. The last visit to Chateau le Chatelet was something I don't think we could have ever experienced otherwise either.

    After contacting Aquitaine Limousine, I immediately had a response from Charlotte with a proposal for a private tour for our group. This was our first trip to the Bordeaux region, so having guidance took all of the stress out of planning. Our guide Benoit greeted us promptly at our designated time with a special surprise of “canelés”, a local treat. In addition to a really neat story of the history behind this delicious dessert. Not only did Benoit take us around safely for the day, he was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable, having been in the wine business himself for 25 years. He kindly assisted us to each tours and a lovely lunch that was also arranged for us by Charlotte. Benoit was a pleasure to talk with and we were happy to enlist in his helpful translation during lunch and along the way. He made sure to have the van waiting and cooled upon the ending of each tour and had cold waters waiting every single time. And we couldn't have been more grateful due to the weather reaching 104 degrees that day! The entire day was fantastic, it actually exceeded all of our expectations! I would highly recommend working with Aquitaine Limousine and we hope to return for another trip some day soon! A huge thanks to Charlotte for arranging three fantastic and very different tours and tastings, and to Benoit for taking such wonderful care of us! 10 out of 10!!!!!!!

    Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable from our driver to all our guides at each Chateau. We visited three chateaus and did a tasting at each. Each Chateau was different to the other and we were lucky in that we tried wines from the same year at each one to truly compare the wineries. We had lunch in between at St. emillion and a bit of time to walk around. Wine is a passion in St Emillion and you truly experience it!
