She drove us to different villages in the hills and allowed us plenty of time to explore. She took us around some spectacular sights. It was relaxing because we didn’t have to worry about the driving. The people carrier was air conditioned and comfortable and we were kept cool with cold water. A most relaxing, informative and enjoyable day.”

We appreciated his excellent guiding, his tips about where to eat in the villages we visited and his in depth background knowledge about the area. Nicolas dropped us off right in town and picked us up at agreed times so we had some free time to explore, take photos or eat and drink.

“The winery tour and tasting was a great overall experience. It involved small groups and our a tour guide Thierry was very knowledgeable friendly and entertaining. We would certainly do it again! One note and why it only got 4/5 stars was the lack of communication from the actual tour operator. They should make themselves more available. That was disappointing when we left an item in the van and they were zero help.”
