Wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff answered my questions quickly before booking, which gave me confidence. The tour itself was beautiful, especially the wine area near Bordeaux. I also loved the energy of Barcelona after the quieter French towns. The driver was safe and the guide created a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.
