We had a very nice day with Katherine and even the changing weather did not spoil the mood. We enjoyed the ride in picturesque village, the nice wines and tasty cannelles. The bakery Katherine took us to for croissants on the way as we did not manage to take breakfast was one of the best I ever had!

During our trip round Europe, we had the opportunity to experience a few days in Bordeaux. This company looked after all our logistics, transfers and the a wonderful trip to the St. Emmilion region to meet and vist a number of wineries and booth see their business but also taste and experience the wines of the region. Our personal guide Margaux was fantastic and even helped us with our French! but she was ver knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. A wonderful guide and driver. It was very comfortable and a lifetime experience. Catherine in the office managed a number of transfers and they we so polite and accommodating. A great team and a great company. We will return and i will use them again for business or personal use.

This tour couldn’t have been more perfect! We were a group of 7 people (friends & family), all the way from the Philippines. When I came across Bacchus Tours on the internet, I emailed Catherine with some questions and she responded very quickly and we finalized our itinerary soon after. Our guide Benoit, was excellent, very knowledgeable and most importantly kind and gracious. He was the perfect guide. We couldn’t have asked for more. The visits to the châteaus were well planned and our lunch reservation at St. Emillion was arranged by Catherine as well. Look no further for possible tour options. Bacchus Tours delivers beyond expectations. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
