Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We dont usually take private tours due to costs, however we really wanted to go to Sauternes and not many operators offer them out of Bordeaux.
We visited 3 Chateau's with Bogdan, his English was flawless, his knowledgeable of wine making very deep, at times I felt he should be the one doing the tours, not the people working at those places. :-)
At the end it was well worth the money, I will highly recommend Bogdan if you want to learn more about wine making in France.

At the risk of parroting the other reviews, the reason that Bordeaux Vertigo is such a wonderful experience is Bogdan Ghita. Bogdan wants his clients to be as passionate about the Bordeaux wine region and its history as he is. He is more of a teacher than a guide. As a result, we know so much more about Right Bank wines after just a single day. Bogdan put together a thoughtful and detailed itinerary through Saint Emilion and Pomerol and shared it with us well in advance of our day-long trip. The chateaux and wines he selected were outstanding. It was evident that he is respected by the principals at the chateaux, who by the way were very generous with their time during the tours. We cannot recommend Bordeaux Vertigo enough. We will certainly book another trip with Bogdan when back in Bordeaux.

Bogdan was recommended to us by some friends and family who had a great time with him in Bordeaux. Bogdan curated a half day tour for us in the Saint-Emilion terroir which ticked all the boxes for our weekend getaway - within our budget, informative for our level of knowledge and the perfect duration. Communicating with Bogdan was easy and timely, from the day I first contacted him to a kind follow up the day after the tour. Bogdan even recommended restaurants for us in Bordeaux which were top notch too. We loved the two wineries we visited and the personal feel each had. This was complemented by Bogdan’s in depth knowledge, anecdotes and friendly nature. Just when we thought our day couldn’t get any better, Bogdan took us to an epic restaurant for lunch that was the icing on the cake! Look no further than Bogdan - what a superstar. Cheers mate!

We immensely enjoyed our one-day tour of Saint Emilion with Bogdan.
Bogdan is an excellent and entertaining communicator with a comprehensive knowledge of the region and wine production. Everything ran smoothly, from our first contact with Bogdan to plan our itinerary until he dropped us back to Bordeaux.
We highly recommend Bogdan and hope to come back one day to explore the rest of the Bordeaux wine region with him.

My wife and I recently booked a fantastic Bordeaux wine tasting tour with Bordeaux Vertigo. It was an all-day tour with an itinerary similar to what is posted on their website, working our way up from Bordeaux, through Margaux, Pauillac, and Saint-Julien, with private tastinga at four lovely vineyards. The owner of Bordeaux Vertigo, Bogdan Ghita, was wonderful to work with in planning the tour, selecting the vineyards, and making all of the day’s arrangements, including lunch at Café Lavinal. The scheduling was flawless, and the expertise of the guides greatly complemented the knowledgeable vineyard tours. (We highly recommend arranging private tours, as so much personalized information is obtained during the visits and the tastings are adjusted accordingly.) Even though not all of the vineyards in the area were available for touring (it was April and many Chateaus were open only to large-scale buyers), Bogdan worked hard to arrange visits to a nice variety of geographic areas to experience the local terroir and to compare wine blends. This was truly a highlight of our trip; we will contact Bogdan and Bordeaux Vertigo the next time we visit France to explore St. Emilion!

My wife and I have gone on numerous private and group wine tours of Left Bank Bordeaux Chateaux but never an extended tour of Right Bank Chateaux. Our good friend Sylvie Fleury of Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion recommended Bogdan Ghita of Bordeaux Vertigo to take us on a day tour of Saint Émilion Grand Cru Chateaux where we got to drink wines of Saint Emilion, Saint Emilion Grand Cru and Pomerol. He chose the Chateaux to showcase the diversity of the terroir and wines of Saint Emilion. Bogdan picked us up in the Chartrons and we were fast friends before we reached Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas (the modern bridge over the Garonne). Bogdan is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person I know about the wines and history of Bordeaux and shared this in a pleasant conversational manner. We visited Chateau Destieux where we had barrel tastings of Merlot and Cabernet juice from the 2021 vintage. We also had a vertical tasting of the 2014, 2017, and 2018 vintages. We next stopped for lunch at L’Atelier de Candale of the Chateau de Candale. More great wine and a delicious meal for only 28 Euros. Next we tasted wines at Chateau Bellefont-Belcier and completed our day tour of the Left Bank of Bordeaux by visiting the Couvent des Jacobins. All the wines were excellent with perfect choices to give us a good overview of Saint Emilion and Pomeral wines. This was hands down the best wine tour we have ever been on and will be calling Bogdan to take us on future tours of the Left bank and the Champagne, Cognac, and Armagnac regions!

We've visited a number of wine regions around the world and Bogdan's tour in Bordeaux was by the far the best experience we've ever had! He's an extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate host who provided the perfect mix of education and fun. The booking process was seamless and he curated an unforgettable itinerary for our group of friends. Oh, and his selfie skills are also world class :)
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family and we look forward to visiting again soon!

We took two wine tours during our visit to the Bordeaux region, and this one was stellar. We did not visit the premier wineries, but rather a cross-section that illustrated differences between cateogrizations. Bogdan is extremely knowledgeable (PhD in History?), engaging, and seemingly well-connected with the wineries. Consequently, we felt we had unique experiences - such as being allowed to drink the grape juice out of the vat before it was fermented. The lunch was also excellent.
The vehicle Bogdan uses is very luxurious, although for the two of us it was overkill. And that brings me to my one compliant. The car can seat 8 people, but Bogdan's pricing doesn't vary regardless of the size of your party. So the more people in your group, the better the value.

Bogdan was an amazing guide. We reached out to him last minute, and he put together an excellent wine tasting itinerary for us in Bordeaux wine country. It was clear he knows the proprietors at each location incredibly well, as he was warmly welcomed everywhere (which led to very warm welcomes for us as well). He got us into wineries that weren't even doing tastings that day through his connections. On top of all of that he is a lovely person to spend time with, and his knowledge of the wines, the region, etc. is top notch. We would highly recommend Bogdan!

Bogdan was wonderful! His knowledge of the Bordeaux area as well as the wine industry was amazing. He takes through the the smallest of details and you are left a great understanding of the area and the wines. His contacts allow you to taste the finest wines as well as enjoy a delicious lunch. You will not be disappointed!
