Can, getting to know the city, its architecture, history and traditions, be interesting and not boring at all? Well, difficult, specially if we talk about San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) so beautiful city, that just see it leaves breathless. When I came to live to San Sebastian in 2006 I was totally impressed by the beauty of this town, however I did not discovered the soul of the city until I experienced the unrivalled city tour with Ikusnahi this summer. We have been walking around the city with Ania, who explained everything in such amazing and interesting way, natural and very funny at the same time! She left space for open discussion for you to begin to discover for yourself, in an imperceptible way, that you know the city more deeply, understanding the local culture and people much better.

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!!!!!!!

I honestly don't know where to start when trying to describe how much my wife and i enjoyed our private tours with Laura from Bordeaux with Elodie! I bought 2 private tours (Medoc and St Emilion) as a birthday present for my wife's 30th birthday (also secretly a bit for myself), and it far far exceeded my expectations. I initially contacted Elodie through the email provided on their website and the moment that she responded i knew that this would be a great tour. The response to my email alone showed how dedicated and passionate she was about her job, writing the itineraries so that they could be reviewed and my suggestions could be added if required. Throughout the 2 days, Laura pitched her chat perfectly to our wine knowledge and both of us really enjoyed the education without a single moment of feeling overwhelmed by it. The actual wine tastings were tastefully done and in some amazing locations. At one particular winery we went down into a wine cave network cellar where you could see where it had been originally excavated by hand many many years ago. The history of some of the places we visited was truly amazing! I won't go into details about the vineyards/wineries/chateaus that we visited but i would highly recommend a vertical tasting at Château de Ferrand - it was held in the most beautiful professional tasting room and was incredibly informative. Both myself and my wife felt so at ease and so comfortable with Laura from the moment we met her, it was like a friend was taking us on a wine tour. The fact that she was born in Bordeaux and that she has grown up surrounded by wine and the wine culture shows in her work. The passion and knowledge she has within her field is truly refreshing. The scenery is this part of France is beautiful, the wine is so so good, it's educational, it's fun and i can honestly say it's been some of the best days out we have ever had. I will be making sure that i visit again some day.... worth every penny.
