Q&A
What happens if the ship doesn't dock due to weather?
Our normal terms and conditions for private tours apply. We strongly advise you to get a travel insurrance which will be able to refund you in case of cancellation.
Are the winery tours private?
The scheduled tours are generally reserved exclusively for Bordeaux Wine Trails visitors and are mostly private. Some wine estates won’t guarantee that the tour will be private and it is possible that other people may join us on that particular tour, but in any case the total number of guests on tour would never exceed 12.
What kind of vehicle is used for these tours?
The vehicles used are 9-seater minivans (1 driver + 8 passengers including two on the front seat). They are newer model cars with air-conditioning in the front and back, equipped with 2 sliding doors which make it easier for the group to get in and out of the vehicle. They’re also equipped with a sound system to hear the guide’s comments (or music). On request we can offer different types and style of véhicle (vintage, electric, sports car, 15 to 45 seaters VIP Bus)
