Review summary

Although the Garonne near its mouth is not as scenic as some other rivers in Europe, this wine themed cruise was terrific. As usual the staff was wonderful and wine and food were superb. Be prepared to gain weight even after spending the day hunting truffles, climbing through walled towns, gathering oysters out on the bay, or visiting beautiful Bordeaux wineries.

River cruising is the best way to go. Did not feel like we were on a ship. 5 star!!!
