We had a fantastic time on this tour. We visited two wineries, one large and one small, and tasted 10 different wines. Carine was fantastic and very friendly. She answered all our questions and filled us in on an array of local knowledge of the region and the wines. We will definitely look to do another one of the tours in the near future!

Unfortunately i have to leave a bad review for this experience. First bad review i have ever written! Based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor , i have booked this experience as a part of my & husbands Wedding Anniversary South of France Road trip - as a highlight of the trip. Before i booked this , i have noticed that the same Person-Bertrand offers multiple tours in same day and some of them even clash .For example ours was at 5pm and supposed to be few hours ,but then there was another one @ 3pm for few hours and also more in the same day. Initially i assumed they will be hosted by different people. Even though all the reviews i saw ,mentioned just Bertrand. So i booked this and later on got a confirmation that this is available and it's booked. That was two weeks before the trip. So day before the actual tour ,i got a message from Bertrand saying that can we change it for the next day because of his "another job" ! I replied that unfortunately it wouldn't be possible because we are in Montpellier just for one night because we are on the road trip! He just said he can't because of the problem with another work. When i explained the situation to him again, he wouldn't respond anymore. I had a look on tripadvisor again(on Viator on also other websites) , and can see there are a lot of tours he offers on the same day ! I have asked this to him-does he just trying to maximise his chances of bookings and then just moving them all to one ?As it looked like that IS his another job .He didn't respond. I tried to call-no answer.I have cancelled just to make sure i get a refund. I do understand that things happen and i would normally accept this as just part of life situation. But seeing that this same person hosts multiple tours in the same time is just ridiculous! Also trying to change it on the day before when we had no chance to rebook it with someone else! And no proper communication or even apology of the cancellation. Maybe i'm the only one who experienced this, i don't know. So yeah ,thanks Bertrand for ruining most important part of our trip!

This company is Amazing! Our husbands had the day off of work and it was just the 4 of us! She is so good at explaining the history of wines and the area. We really enjoyed the day and would do it again if we go back to the area! We brought bottled water with us for the day. Both villages were awesome to explore as well!! Thank you!!
