I lost a valuable winery client due to Decanter Tours. We were planning a wonderful trip and the owner totally dropped the ball. Stopped responding and left me hanging.

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.

I really can't forget the taste of this sweet white wine... I'm haunted by the taste since long after we were there... regret not buying a bottle since we never found better white wine which is so naturally sweet in out entire tour of France. .. Lovely ambience and knowledgeable English speaking guides
