A good time was had by all.

Good time. Michael was our host (and guide) on our jaunt through the French countryside. A little light rain in the morning didn’t dampen our spirits and it turned out to be a glorious day. The e-bikes were great, the wine tour and tasting was brilliant and lunch was excellent as well. Can’t say enough about this tour. Do it, well worth the time and the money. Thanks Michael, you made our trip to Bordeaux all the more special.
