The International Cricket Council opted for the least offensive and most prudent option available to it yesterday, when it postponed next month's Champions Trophy in Pakistan. If the volatility that currently exists in Pakistan subsides the tournament is scheduled to take place there in October 2009.
The ICC reached its decision during a teleconference call yesterday. In it five of the eight competing teams said they would not be prepared to send players and officials to Pakistan on grounds of safety and security. South Africa led the way on Friday when they announced they would not be sending a team. Australia, England, New Zealand and West Indies were the other countries not prepared to take the necessary risks.
Other options open to the ICC were inviting other countries and continuing with the tournament in Pakistan, or moving it to another country. Each of the alternatives would have created huge problems for cricket's governing body. Putting on a tournament without many of the game's leading names would have created massive issues between the ICC and its broadcasting and sponsorship stakeholders, whilst moving it to Sri Lanka could have caused a potential split in world cricket. Pakistan last week stated that it would refuse to send a team if the tournament was moved to another country.
"There was unanimity in the decision to postpone the event until October next year – appeasement wasn't part of the meeting at all," said David Morgan, the ICC President. "There was a realisation that, under the current circumstances some of the teams due to compete had reservations about touring there which could not be removed. In those circumstances it was considered prudent to postpone the event to October 2009, a time when we all hope conditions will be more acceptable for all the competing teams.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board have been extremely reasonable about the whole subject, they have worked jolly hard to try to give comfort to the member boards, and the eight teams that are touring, that it would be safe and secure. Unfortunately five of the participating nations found it impossible to send their team to Pakistan because of safety concerns.
"Had the decision been made a month ago I'm sure the tournament would be taking place in Sri Lanka. But the amount of time it took the participating nations to come to their decision not to attend has reduced the time between now and the start of the tournament. It was just impossible to relocate and stage a world class tournament."
Giles Clarke, the Chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board believes the ICC made the correct decision. "The ECB supports the decision of the ICC to postpone the Champions Trophy until October 2009," said Clarke. "The ECB made it clear to ICC Chief executive Haroon Lorgat at a meeting at Lord's last week that the ECB had a duty to care for England players and officials as well as a desire to ensure the interests of the media and spectators were not compromised.
"The ECB explained their reservations and security concerns about staging the tournament in the aftermath of the resignation of the Pakistan president, Pervez Musharraf, last Monday. These concerns were shared by four other competing countries at yesterday's teleconference. The ECB recognises the outstanding efforts of the Pakistan Cricket Board in attempting to mitigate the risks surrounding the Champions Trophy and I will be meeting with the incoming chairman of the PCB, once an appointment is made, to discuss ways that our two boards can work together in the future."
Kevin Pietersen, the England captain, was equally pleased with the outcome of Sunday's meeting. "It's great that the boards have taken the decision," said Pietersen. "Players voiced their concerns from all around the world. All the players I know personally from other countries have expressed their concerns in terms of safety and security. It was good that it was taken out of our players' hands.
"Over the last couple of weeks it has been a huge topic of conversation in the dressing room. And last Sunday's briefing was a huge talking point. This whole week there's been ifs and buts and dos and don'ts. What I said to the team was to put it to the back of our minds because the most important thing for us is the one-day series with South Africa, and that means standing up to be counted on Tuesday. This is a huge decision and cricket can now take priority again."
l South Africa are hoping to pick from a full squad for tomorrow's second one-day series match in Nottingham. At Headingley injury deprived the Proteas of two of their star players, the Morkel brothers Albie and Morne. Both are recovering well and maybe available for selection at Trent Bridge. South Africa, who trail 1-0 in the five-match series, are in definite need of them.

Armenia loses keys to foreign investors' confidence
05 May 2014 [09:41] -
With zero economic roles in the South Caucasus region, Armenia is rapidly losing its attraction for foreign investments.
Oligarchy and monopoly, unreliable business and investment climate, and increasing foreign debt are the main components of Armenia's small economy.
The situation is so complicated that neither foreign investors nor ethnic Armenian investors abroad have enough confidence in Armenia's business climate.
Armenia's small economy suffers seriously from monopoly and monopolies and oligopolies rule about 60 percent of the shares in Armenia's market, the World Bank's report on "Republic of Armenia: Accumulation, Competition, Cooperation", published in November 2013, shows.
Local media reported that only small- and medium-sized businesses under the roof of oligarchs or officials are protected.
The role of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are mainly engaged in retail and wholesale trade, is decreasing in the country, and almost 1,500 small-trade entities were closed in one year.
European companies would've been interested in Armenia's market if local oligarchs did not exist, German Ambassador to Armenia Rayner Morel said recently.
"Armenia should deal with the monopolization of its economy and enhance the role of SMEs. After that, the Armenian market can be attractive for European companies," he said.
Morel stressed that SMEs should hold great importance for Armenia, because they are the main drivers of the economy. "SMEs are not developing in Armenia due to the predominance of oligarchy in local businesses."
Prime Minister Ovik Abramyan recently promised to create favorable conditions for SMEs, saying, "We will take positive steps for small- and medium-sized enterprises in the near future."
Local media believed that Abramyan's statement on SMEs was abstract.
"His statements raise many questions. How can Abramyan support the development of small and medium-sized businesses at a time when he, being an oligarch, hampers it?" the media reported.
Armenia seems to be close to losing political stability, another key factor in attracting investors' confidence.
The recent appointment of some new ministers, who are members of former President Robert Kocharyan's staff, has led to prediction of unstable political situation in the country.
Kocharyan, who has increased his political activity in recent months, has regularly criticized the current authorities.
Local experts believe that Kocharyan's political activation is linked to his intensions to come to power again.
"Kocharyan will return to the political arena and organize a coup d'état in the next six months which will allow him to seize power," Agasi Enokyan, political analyst and Head of the Armenian Center of International Relations, said.
Having confidence in stable business and political climate is vital for attracting foreign investments. Armenia has not been able to provide these key elements in recent years, a fact confirmed by official statistics.
Foreign direct investments in the country decreased by 35.3 percent in 2013 compared to 2012, reaching $4.692 million. These figures were not recorded even during the global financial crisis in 2009, when the volume of investments in Armenia decreased by 25.8 percent.

A rape victim should never be made to feel ashamed because of what they were wearing ("Thousands march to change outdated attitudes on sexuality", 12 June). But if the aim of the SlutWalk was indeed about changing public perception, I worry whether it was achieved.
It could look as if some of these women simply wish to make it culturally acceptable to wear inappropriate clothing in public. But rape is a violent act, not a sexual one. Clothing doesn't come into it, especially as the vast majority of rapes are planned and the victim often already knows their attacker on a social level.
Rape is the responsibility of the rapist alone. Women, children and men of every age, physical type and demeanour are assaulted in this way. And opportunity is often the most important factor determining when a rapist will rape.
I'm not sure that SlutWalks have done anything other than make the women appear as histrionic attention-seekers who don't know what real gender equality is.
Emilie Lamplough
Trowbridge, Wiltshire
If a woman is to be blamed for being raped because of the clothes she wears, then obviously a mugging victim should not have been carrying a purse or wallet when shopping.
Sue Berry
Bedlington, Northumberland
Joan Smith presents well-researched evidence to support her theory that rape is part of the culture of armed forces throughout the world ("Rape is part of military culture, a secret among soldiers", 12 June). It is all the more mystifying then that, in the past, she has often sought to justify the military invasion of Afghanistan as being essential for the emancipation of the women of that country.
Tim Matthews
Luton, Bedfordshire
Published records show that the number of Nato-trained soldiers and armed police in Afghanistan per head of the civilian population is now four times that in this country. To this body of trained armed Afghans must be added the militia of the tribal warlords and the mercenaries of the private contractors. The same records, collected over decades, show that of every four men recruited into the Afghan National Army and armed police, one deserts within a year, often taking his weapon with him.
The Afghans have experienced more than 30 years of civil war. We will leave their civilian population in the state European civilians were left in after the Thirty Years War of the 17th century: at the mercy of huge armed bands of illiterate unemployed ex-soldiers roaming the countryside.
Our politicians pontificate about protecting civilians in Libya and Syria, yet they collaborate in a policy that will unleash greater horrors on the civilians of Afghanistan.
Maurice Vassie
Deighton, York
We often overlook the fact that the Taliban, with its record of terrorism and gross human rights violations, is also extremely unpopular among the Afghan people, despite the appalling corruption of the government in Kabul. Bestowing political power on Taliban leaders who have no consent from the people is not genuine political reconciliation. Rather, it amounts to a perfidious, undemocratic deal that enables elites to monopolise power in their own hands.
It is time to appreciate the distinction between the localised, Pashtun insurgency in the south of Afghanistan and the ideologically driven, Islamist insurgents. We must address the legitimate grievances of the former if we want to have a safe withdrawal plan and contain the Taliban. Therefore, we should first reduce troop numbers in the south (preferably stationing them further north where they enjoy greater support) and persuade the Karzai regime both to decentralise power from Kabul and broaden the ethnic base of the Afghan army. This is the only way we can address the problem among rural Pashtuns of what is perceived as the imposition of an unrepresentative government.
Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi
Hamish McRae says that biofuels may count as renewable energy but the excessive use of food crops to produce fuel is not at all "green". Surely biofuels are renewable energy? While the excessive use of food crops may cause food shortages and food price rises, can he explain why this excessive use would not make them "green"? If they replace the use of fossil fuels, they must reduce the production of carbon dioxide, irrespective of scale.
Terry Pugh

After attending a top public school and reading English at Cambridge, Tom Hodgkinson expresses regret about the failure of his top-notch education to give him a sufficiently robust philosophical grounding in the nature of suffering ("Give me suffering over self-esteem", 12 June.)

Things to Do
Places to Stay
To architecture experts, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect who ever lived-and one of the greatest the world has ever seen. To those who appreciate nature it's easy to see how the Laurel Highlands magnificent natural landscape inspired Fallingwater - Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous work. But to those interested in understanding the role that nature played in the architectural decisions of Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater tours are not-to-be-missed opportunities in the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania.
Fallingwater is one of a trio of Frank Lloyd Wright houses one can visit in the PA Laurel Highlands. Kentuck Knob is a beautiful privately-owned home which embodies Wright's organic architecture and The Duncan House offers the rare opportunity to stay overnight in a Frank Lloyd Wright house.
In 1935, Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann commissioned the noted architect, then in his seventies, to design a summer home. The house was to be built along Bear Run, and was intended to give Kaufmann's family an escape from the city's bustle and heat-a place where they could enjoy the simple comforts of nature. It was to be rustic, airy, and located beside a picturesque waterfall on the property that was a favorite swimming spot for the Kaufmanns and their guests.
The result, completed in 1937, is Fallingwater (often incorrectly referred to as Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water). It is a 20thCentury architectural milestone, celebrated worldwide and named "Best American Building of the Last 125 Years" by the Journal of the American Institute of Architects.
Fallingwater doesn't merely complement the landscape, it becomes one with it. Fully expressing Wright's concept of "organic architecture," the house looks as though it grew naturally out of Bear Run's rocks, trees and water. Basing the structure on three steel-reinforced concrete pads, Wright cantilevered the house over the waterfall. Without relying on any support pillars, Fallingwater projects outward above the shimmering cascade, its form simple, elegant, dramatic, seemingly suspended in mid-air... and yet perfectly integrated into its surroundings.
Little wonder, then, that National Geographic Traveler magazine has named Fallingwater one of its "50 Places of a Lifetime," while Smithsonian Magazine has included it in its list of "28 Places You Should See in Your Lifetime." In the more than seven decades since its completion, it has been visited by millions of people-many of them luminaries. Albert Einstein spent time there, as did the artist Frida Kahlo.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater tours are offered year-round, and the experience will expand you appreciation for more than just Wright's architectural genius. Indeed, Fallingwater transcends mere architecture, fully becoming a work of art. And when you visit, you'll note that it houses works of art by other 20th Century masters, including Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera.
Not far from Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's mountain house, Kentuck Knob sits. Built in the early Fifties on a bluff 2,000 feet above sea level, it stands just below the crest of the mountain with which it shares its name. And facing east, just beyond the home's back terrace, one sees an incredible panorama: a long stretch of the Youghiogheny River Gorge, surrounded by wooded mountainsides.
Again embodying Wright's organic architecture concept, Kentuck Knob features a rich combination of native fieldstone and tidewater red cypress, blended with custom furnishings, handmade ornaments, and expanses of glass. Described as both "dramatic and serene," the exterior almost appears to be part of the mountain itself.
After falling in love with Fallingwater, Bernardine and I.N. Hagan telephoned Frank Lloyd Wright and asked if he would design a house for them. His answer was, "Of course. Come on out."
Created around a series of six-sided grids and centered on a fully functional kitchen, the design for Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob banishes typical 90° corners from the home plan. His color palette and the texture of the materials he utilized for the house's interior evoke its Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania setting, bringing the home, its environment and its occupants into natural harmony.
Originally commissioned by I. N. and Bernadine Hagan of Uniontown, Kentuck Knob is presently owned by Lord Peter Palumbo, chair of the Arts Council of Great Britain from 1989 to 1994 and a member of the British House of Lords. As an additional delight for visitors, he and Lady Palumbo installed a sculpture garden featuring works by Claes Oldenburg, Andy Goldsworthy and others, as well as an actual section of the Berlin Wall. Follow the wooded path to the secluded garden and take your time enjoying this great collection.
Last but certainly not least is Frank Lloyd Wright's Duncan House, located in the Polymath Park Resort in Acme. Built in 1957 for Donald and Elizabeth Duncan, it was painstakingly disassembled in 2004 and moved from its original location in Lisle, IL to its present site.
The house reopened in 2007 and today offers visitors a truly unique opportunity: the chance to stay overnight in an actual Frank Lloyd Wright house. When you make a reservation at Frank Lloyd Wright's Duncan House, you get access to the entire home, not just a specific room. The Duncan House is one of only six Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the entire U.S. that offer overnight lodging.
Typifying Wright's "Usonian" style-his effort, late in life, to create affordable housing in a design language that expressed his distinctive perception of the "American Landscape"-the Duncan House is one of 60 such homes he built in the mid-to-late Fifties. It affords visitors a chance to refresh their spirits in a gorgeous natural setting, and experience Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in a rare and an intimate way.

Not since the eighteenth-century epic volume The Path of the Upright of Rabbi Moshe Hayim Luzzatto, Ramhal has there been a work that has taken such a concise and comprehensive look at the art of acquiring and developing true faith as the new book God Is Not Dead: Man's Pursuit of Faith in Judaism. By masterfully guiding believers on the right path to their faith, the author Dr. Moshe Finkelman, a rabbi, scientist, and an expert on Jewish faith reveals profound belief as an active pursuit, gained gradually through self-growth.
About the Book
Do you view God to be satisfying or demanding? According to Rabbi Moshe Finkelman, any view of faith framed as being satisfying rather than demanding is flawed from the outset as it is based on false premises – expectations from…

Dr. Moshe Finkelman is a man with a diverse, fascinating journey and a unique perspective on life. He possesses a unique blend of religious education and scientific training, expertly practiced in both areas. A physician by training, he founded and…

At this time last year, the Giants thought they had some promising young players like Victor Cruz and Jake Ballard.
But they couldn't have predicted the smashing success Cruz had. Now everybody wants to know who will be the next Giant to step up and emerge if given the opportunity.
Coughlin talked about several of his young unproven players at his Combine presser.
"I think there are a lot of young guys," he said when asked if there are any players he thinks could step up next season. "I think there are a lot of young linebackers that will be exciting to watch. Da'Rel [Scott] was mentioned earlier. Certainly Prince [Amukamara] is a guy that everybody is excited about seeing his development."
"[Tyler] Sash, for example, the job he did on special teams was incredible," Coughlin continued. "Can you imagine bringing in a rookie and he is the fullback on a punt team. The number one play in an entire season is your punt team. You do that more than you do anything else. This guy was the personal protector that called the protections. That is a lot of responsibility for a young guy and he did it very, very well. [Jerrel] Jernigan, his development will be very important to us."
Coughlin was asked specifically about Scott, the speedy running back from Maryland taken in the seventh round last year.
"Well, Da'Rel has shown us the one thing that we knew he had -- outstanding speed, anytime called upon, whether it be kick return on in preseason running a fake punt," he said. "This has been a good year for him. He's worked hard and was active a great deal of the time, and even when he wasn't, he worked very hard on the scout team and did well with special plays. He showed us things that he can do, and certainly with that year, basically having practiced more than most teams in the league, that's gonna help him as well. So we look forward to continuing his development as we go through the offseason."
Who do you guys think will be the next youngster to emerge? Tell us below.

text: Apple Tablet Reportedly Priced Between iPhone and Cheap MacBook For 2010Jason Chen7/24/09 1:18pmFiled to: Rumorapple tabletAppleTablet10-inch10-Inch tabletMacBookmacbook touch106EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Apple Insider's source claims that the Apple Tablet is coming in 2010—similar to the rumors we've already heard—but that it's coming at a price that's not too unreasonable. Advertisement The source says it's "expected to retail for somewhere between the cost of a high-end iPhone and Apple's most affordable Mac notebook", which means it's under $999 but over $299 (or $599, if you're talking about unsubsidized phones).Apple Insider also reiterates what we've known before, that it'll be 3G enabled, that it'll be around 10-inches and be shaped like a large iPod Touch, and that Apple's not too happy with AT&T. Does this mean that the rumor that Verizon will carry the tablet is a good one?And to add our own guesswork on top of this, the MacBook may actually be the name of this tablet. Why? We surmised that because Apple consolidated everything into the MacBook Pro family, there's no real room for the plastic white Macbook. Which is why the tablet is probably the new Macbook (or so we think). [Apple Insider] Reply106 repliesLeave a reply

After a wave of negative press, New York State Education Commissioner David Steiner is vowing that what happened to homeless Brooklyn high school senior Rosa Bracero will never happen again.
The New York Daily News first reported that Bracero was prevented from graduating because she was forced to sit through a seven-hour shelter intake process with her family, which had been evicted the same day as her Regents exam -- and the Board of Regents doesn't allow makeup tests.
The Coalition for the Homeless sounded the alarm and launched a campaign to force the city to hand over a diploma and change the disruptive requirement that kids be present for the shelter intake process even if it causes them to miss school. The campaign generated nearly a thousand letters to Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Steiner the "Worst Person in the World" for Tuesday, Feb. 9.
Steiner is working to shed that honor.
"I have taken immediate steps to ensure that this terribly unfortunate event cannot happen again," said Steiner in a statement. "I have spoken with Acting Commissioner Beth Berlin who heads up the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, and Commissioner Robert Hess who administers homeless programs in New York City. My office will be supplying them with all State testing dates, and both Commissioners have assured me that they will take the necessary action so that Rosa's experience will not be repeated."
"[Steiner] pledged to sit down with us on this problem of homeless children missing so many days of school because of this ridiculous policy," said coalition director Mary Brosnahan in an interview with HuffPost. Brosnahan said Steiner assured her that Bracero will be allowed to graduate.
Steiner will also meet with Bracero and her mother on Friday morning. Bracero has been accepted to Lincoln Technical institute and starts classes next week.
Bracero's is probably not a unique case. There are 16,000 homeless children in New York City.
Here's Commissioner Steiner's statement:
A Message from the New York State Education Commissioner on Homeless Students and State Assessments
I am deeply concerned about the issues facing homeless children in our school system. I believe strongly that our system needs to support all of our children, and that homelessness should never be a barrier to educational achievement. With too many families throughout the State facing homelessness and so many struggling in this economy, it is critical that we get this right.
That's why I was so alarmed by the experience of Rosa Bracero. Because Rosa and her family were required to attend a seven hour meeting at the New York City Central Family Intake Center in order to receive help with their housing needs, Rosa could not take a Regents exam scheduled for that day.
When I first learned of Rosa's situation, in a story in the Daily News, I directed my staff to contact her school principal, guidance counselor and the post-secondary institution she was hoping to attend next, the Lincoln Technical Institute. We were pleased to receive confirmation from Lincoln that they accepted Rosa into their program and that she will be in her seat for orientation tomorrow and will then start her classes next week. I talked with Rosa's mother and will be meeting with her and Rosa on Friday morning. I have also spoken with Mary Brosnahan, Executive Director of the Coalition for the Homeless, who worked so effectively to bring Rosa's story to public attention. We have agreed that we will meet to discuss both this unfortunate situation and the wider issues affecting homeless children and their education.
I have taken immediate steps to ensure that this terribly unfortunate event cannot happen again. I have spoken with Acting Commissioner Beth Berlin who heads up the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, and Commissioner Robert Hess who administers homeless programs in New York City. My office will be supplying them with all State testing dates, and both Commissioners have assured me that they will take the necessary action so that Rosa's experience will not be repeated.
We offer Regents exams three times every year -- in June, August and January. In the interest of transparency, the test questions and scoring sheets are available to teachers on the same day the exams are given with no restrictions on their use. That is why, unfortunately, we are not able to accept tests from students who take an exam after the official testing date, as Rosa did. Offering Regents exams three times a year is costly -- adding make-up tests to these dates would add millions of dollars in expense during a period of drastic fiscal conditions. The Board of Regents will however continue to review all aspects of our test structures and testing calendars.
The challenges Rosa has faced underscore for me our urgent responsibility to make equal educational opportunities available to every student.
David M. Steiner

Financial Reports
Annual Report
The Canada Post segment reported a profit before tax of $63 million in 2015.
Solid efforts by our employees to improve service and convenience for online shoppers and retailers led to record Parcels growth. This helped establish Canada Post as the largest parcel company in the country and contributed to a profit before tax of $63 million for the Canada Post segment in 2015. Since 2011, Parcels revenue has grown by $429 million.
Strategic initiatives we adopted in response to Canadians' changing postal needs were also a major factor in the results. They contributed approximately $390 million to our earnings in 2015. A strategic pricing adjustment in 2014, more efficient delivery and improved productivity across the network all contributed.
The profit is modest compared to the Corporation's revenue and the significant challenges we face as a company. These include the continuing decline in mail volumes, which fell by nearly a quarter billion pieces in 2015.

The Overlord DLC introduces four new pieces of music to the already large list of Mass Effect music. One might wish for more, but not when it's this disappointingly bland. There's not a single track in the Mass Effect trilogy that I would turn off per se, but the difference between the best and the worst is quite marked.
The slow debut, "Final Conversation," doesn't evoke nearly as much atmosphere as some of the pieces from the core game, despite trying. The strings and vocals are pretty, but not memorably employed here or even appropriate for the Mass Effect universe. The piece ends with melancholy trumpets that carry an almost patriotic tone. "Boss Combat" meets, but does not exceed expectations with its incessant percussion and generic melody. Another battle track, "Combat Troops," sounds far too similar to other tracks in the series to make one pause and take notice.
The aptly named "Tension Rising" simply plays it too safe, and that seems to be the theme here. Perhaps time restrictions or a creative drought or apathy limited the effectiveness of the composer during Overlord's development. Or perhaps this is merely what happens when Jack Wall isn't involved. The results are sadly unimpressive regardless.

Orinico drivers: not for OS X
Agere Systems, formerly known as the Microelectronics Group of Lucent Technologies, writes that it will not be supporting Ornico wirelesss products under OS X. Although Apple\'s AirPort 1.3 under Mac OS 8/9 supports Ornico cards directly with its built-in drivers, OS X does not. Agere representatives forwarded concerned customers the following reasons for its development stance: 1. Apple computers, both mobile and desktops, are equipped with non-standard built-in Airport slots and antennas since late 1999. Apple\'s intention with this approach is to have customers with an Airport-equipped Mac to choose Airport Cards as their preferred WLAN client products. 2. We have full confidence that Apple will continue to support Airport under MacOS-X on Airport G4s, iMacs, iBooks and Powerbooks. This allows Macs to be fully respected clients on Orinoco WLANs. In addition to that we will continue our support for the older MacOSes on the Apple platform. (MacOS 7.5.5, 8.x, 9.x). \"

We learned much more about winemaking than on prior forays in Italy and California.
October 2016
The tour itself was very very good. The venues the guide took us excellent particularly the wine tasting in St Emilion.
BUT VIATOR fell down by not even telling us which Company we would be with. Not on our ticket anywhere. Very poor information on Viators part.
October 2016
Had a great time!
August 2016
This is a great company to tour with. Our guide was personable and knowledgable and the interactive media presentations on the coach was great. Being able to access wifi on the coach is a real plus.
July 2016
Fantastic. Adenine our guide was superbe!
June 2016
Karim was our guide for this half day tour and it was great! While it may seem expensive for a short trip it is most definitely worth it and a visit to the Aquitaine/Bordeaux region simply isn't complete without a visit to wine country. We are relatively novice to the world of wine appreciation but at no point were made to feel inadequate. We enjoyed the bus tour of the region, learning much about the process and history of wine making. St Emilion is simply beautiful and the wine tasting with Bruno was great fun - be prepared to part with your cash however - too hard to resist.
Thanks so much Karim.
June 2016
Very well organised despite the traffic and weather. Boris was excellent
June 2016
Great trip and a very knowledgeable guide Karim. 2 wine tastings but very different to each other. Highly recommended.
