St-Emilion and winery afternoon tour
Gregory Ofman 09/18/2024
We had an afternoon tour to St-Emilion and the Chateau Cote de Baleau winery in a minivan with 8 people. We had no issues booking this tour and it was well organized. Our tour guide Ben was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a winery part of the tour first. A wine presentation and tasting were guided by a very enthusiastic winery employee. It was very interesting and fun. We wished to have more time in St-Emillion. Yes, we would recommend this tour to our friends.

Wonderful 1/2 day in St-Emilion
K. Kantor 08/23/2024
This is a small group tour, so there were 7 of us plus the guide/driver, Regis. He was very knowledgeable and shared much of the history and geography regarding the region during the drive there. He was very good about making sure everyone was included and kept track of us while we walked through the town - which was packed with tourists. The town is lovely - we didn't have a lot of time there, but it was enjoyable. The winery tour and tasting was great - the hostess (sorry, I have forgotten her name) was very helpful as well. A very enjoyable 1/2 day excursion!

We enjoyed the way that the tour was constructed with a visit to St Emilion first and then to a vineyard.The guide Kia was excellent.He was knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed be taken to the wine cellar and seeing the wine aging as well as going to the church. The vineyard visit was good .We enjoyed the wine tasting and the girl that took it was really nice.Wevwould recommend this tour.
