If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.
This tour is ideal for cruise guests who love classic Bordeaux reds and want an immersive yet comfortable introduction to the Médoc / Left Bank. It suits couples, friends, and small adult groups who prefer expert commentary, curated château visits, and a relaxed pace over large‑coach excursions or general city sightseeing.
