      We did a full day tour from Bordeaux to Médoc and another full day tour to St Emilion with Karim. We had a wonderful time learning about French wine and the region. Karim’s knowledge of the wine making process was very helpful and he did it in a fun way. He was attentive and quickly learned the types of wines we would like and adapted our tastings to our likes. Highly recommend and would definitely use this service again.
