Greetings, Last month I was on a Bordeaux mini-tour arranged by your company with two of my friends. Our guide for the tour ws May-Britt Anttonen. I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time on the tour and we could not have had a better guide than May-Britt. Her knowledge of the subject matter was fantastic. However, since we were taking the tour out of curiosity and for fun, we are not the most knowledgeable of groups she could have dealt with. Much to her credit, she explained things and conducted the tour in a way that was extremely enjoyable for us without making it seem above our knowledge level. We will highly recommend your company in the future and would like to let you know that you are very lucky to have May-Britt associated with you. Thanks to you all for a wonderful time.

Peter, We've been back about a month now, and I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had, thanks in large part to the delightful winery tours/tastings, hotels, and meals that you arranged for us. We made all of our appointments and were greeted in each instance by people who were welcoming, generous, and informative. I don't know how our trip could have been better. Thanks again for your wonderful and personal service. We can hardly wait for our next opportunity to give you a call. Best regards, Dave & Susanne Scott Dave & Susanne Scott August 23, 2002   Added: March 13, 2009

Hi Peter, I am emailing you to let you know about our trip with Pierre. Danielle and I really enjoyed the trip. It was very well organized, we went to the places we had requested, and had a blast. Pierre was great! Organized, punctual, polite, friendly, good sense of humor, and fun. Not to mention his vast knowledge of wines & Burgundy. He told the Moet & Chandon people we were VIP's so he arranged a private tasting in their garden afterwards- two complimentary bottles of 1996 Vintage Moet! Awesome. The Crayerres hotel was amazing. Thanks for everything! We had a great trip. Dave Stanley Dave Stanley June 10, 2002   Added: March 13, 2009

We've just concluded 5 outstanding days in Bordeaux with Peter. The properties we visited were all great and I believe we may have established a first for Avalon by visiting 3 First Growths in one day (10 overall). Peter's knowledge about wine and the region are second to none and the group really learned a lot about the particular aspects that unite to make this region so facinating and attractive. write anytime for details.

Our wine tour in Chile was terrific! Sven was a great guide, and we were surprised and extremely pleased by how well we were received and treated everywhere we went. The tour actually exceeded our expectations with far more personal attention and access at the various wineries than we had hoped for. Many thanks for your work on our behalf. We'll look forward to doing another of your tours sometime in the future (Argentina?). Gordon Petersen, Cathy Scrimshaw January 31, 2002   Added: March 13, 2009

Hi Peter, The Petersen's guide (Sven) asked me to pass on his comments on their tour of Chile last week: - They were welcome at all wineries and most of them only opened up because of you ! - they were guided by PR manager, enologists, jefes de bodega etc which ends up in a very good mix - Almaviva even gave them two bottles of wine Sven is very impressed how you have so excellent contact to the wineries from so far away. He'll write to you himself when he gets a chance, with a full report on the tour. saludos Silja, ProTours, Chile - November 11, 2001   Added: March 13, 2009

I wanted to write to let you know how satisfied Alexis and I were with our recent trip to Bordeaux. Everything was first class, from the hotels to the meals to the vineyards. May-Britt was an excellent guide and an excellent teacher. We learned so much about what makes each vineyard distinctive and about the history of the region and the part that wine has played. As relative novices to the world of wine (and people who do not speak French), May-Britt's knowledge of wine and her multi-lingual ability, was a very significant contributor to our overall enjoyment of Bordeaux. We also cannot say enough about the people at the various chateaux who took their time to show us around. They could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The ability to visit places like Chateau Margeaux, Chateau Dominick, Domaine de Chevalier, Chateau Lynch Barges and Chateau Chasse-Spleen on one trip was amazing. We could not have hoped to visit this many premier voneyards on our own. The Bordeaux leg of our trip was truly the highlight of our Honeymoon. Both Alexis and I want to thank the people at Avalon Tours (and especially May-Britt and Peter) for a wonderful time. We highly recommend the services of Avalon Tours to those who want to have a truly excellent trip to Bordeaux. John M. and Alexis C. Jeffrey - Monday, June 25, 2001   Added: March 13, 2009

We wanted to especially thank Peter, Mae Brit and Remi for making our trip to Bordeaux a very memorable one. It was unlike any trip we had ever experienced! Peter was an excellent tour guide during our recent visit to Bordeaux in May. Mae Brit was also a pleasure to spend time with on tour to several of the wineries. We stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast and ate incredible food (minimum of 3 course meals)! We appreciated Peter's vast knowledge of the many different regions in Bordeaux. He was very accomodating to our requests with respect to the places we wanted to visit and the things we wanted to do. We especially enjoyed meeting the wine cellar masters and becoming more educated about the wine making process. The experience, the memories, and the photos we will treasure always. This trip gave us a chance to relax and enjoy the serenity of the countryside. At the same time we learned a lot about the wine making process and its origins. My husband and I have really enjoyed drinking some of the Bordeaux wines in our local restaurants(when we can find them). We would highly recommend this private tour for people who enjoy the finer things in life. If you have any questions,please feel free to contact us.

Peter et al planned an amazing start to our honeymoon in Chile (a self tour). Staying at the Santa Rita hotel was amazing - romantic and beautiful with a wonderful staff. Our expert guide Pilar took us to some vineyards that we never would have found on our own and gave us insights that we never would have been privy to. Thanks!

The trip to Bordeaux 2000/Fete de vendages was amazing! Peter and Holly are best at being professional in handling all aspects of the trip. But, the best was their way of being with their clients. If they were stressed about any detail fo the trip, you would never know it. Peter was extremely knowledgeable about Bordeaux wines and the area.The trip was fun and I learned a lot. Holly was always friendly and gracious. Samantha and Sophie delightful. I have lots of warm memories, which I retrieve often in the cold month of January.
