We did the Caneles Tour. You likely will be sweating, hot and uncomfortable in the summer. Service was okay. Historical information shared was good, but VERY HOT so made it not worth it to pay so much to be uncomfortable and sweaty. Our wasn’t even a full boat. I can only imagine how hot it just get when it is full. The upstairs had very few seats under a canopy, which were probably the best seats since you got coverage from the sun and a breeze. The remainder of the seats upstairs were uncovered so you’d be under the hot Sun. The seats indoors on the lower level had no ventilation so it got very humid and hot. People had to take turns going out to the very small deck to get some fresh air. If you want to do it I would suggest getting to the boat AT LEAST 30min early so you get the limited seats outside under the canopy and you’re not stuck being hot and uncomfortable in the other seats.

Disappointed. After quickly taking our order of water and a bottle of wine. A very long wait ensued, looked around to find everyone else had their drinks and we were the only table without drinks. Could have been because we didn't want an aperitif first and they thought we were waiting for the meal. Still should bring water immediately. The menu sounds delicious but apart from the lamb chop, the food was disappointing and bland. Wasabi puree had no kick, was like mushy peas. Opted for the gourmand dessert which again lacked flavour. The red wine was good but according to it's label should be served at room temperature. It had been cooled. No announcements made to tell you that they had arrived back at the bay. Overall I think aimed at tourists and the food was not important enough to warrant the price.

We booked via a QR code on a poster at a Quay through Get Your Guide. Don't do that ! The sailing goes from another quay across the river and despite running when we realised,we missed the boat by...

"Unexpected disappointment!"

I cannot comment much as we left before starting. We were offered a table in a very bad position with the worst air conditioning ever. I tried to complain, but noone moved a finger (usually bordolais...

"Wonderful cruise with wine"

Reviews posted by dansI4260XV on 28/05/2023

I did the Wine tasting cruise Cité du Vin with Fanny. She was a superb guide, combining history with humour - and, of course, wine! Lovely sail along the river on a perfect sunny day.
