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!!!!!!!

My husband and I did a private tour of st. Emilion and Medoc in Feb. 2020 and it was a fantastic experience. Since we haven’t been able to travel back this past year we are now really enjoying their wine club. It is so great receiving handpicked bottles from Bordeaux. I highly recommend scheduling a tour or joining the wine club.
