Guide makes a difference

Whether spending 100EUR is worth or not depends on the guide. I joined another wine tour organized by the same company and the guide was fabulous. I did not have much luck with the guide of this St Emilion your.

One of the best!

I truly enjoyed this tour - from our guide, and the other guests to the wonderful wineries we visited, The afternoon was well thought out and flowed seamlessly. The guides at the wineries were very engaging and while giving you some great information about the area and the wines, did not bog you down with technicalities. It was a very relaxed approach, which fit the stunning surroundings perfectly. Highly recommend!

Cheers.. !

What a wonderful afternoon. Clem our tour guid was knowledgable, fun & made some great recommendations for apres-tour drinks & dinner. Both Chateaus & their wines were lovely, Saint-Emilion old town is beautiful. Miss out on this tour & people will laugh at you in the street.

Can't skip it!

My sister and I were in France for the Olympics and before enjoying the chaos of Paris, we decided to make a stop-over in Bordeaux. I love wine and doing the Bordeaux wine trails tour was a no-brainer. We had so much fun the entire time especially the wine tasting/drinking with fellow tourists! If you're in Bordeaux, sign up and don't skip this tour!
