Fantastic Tour
I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Helene, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. The tour was well designed, taking us to 3 different wineries with different classifications, tasting different wines. The lunch at Bistro des Vignes was exceptional, the best I had in Bordeaux. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Great Value - Boat Rides - check out before you go
I went to take a boat ride and was told the tourism office should have give me tickets so we had to pay €40 to go on the boat, all other experiences were great,

Trip to wine district
It was a perfect day. The bus was comfortable. We went to 2 vinyards and our guide Bridgette have us a guided talk about historical aspects of Saint Emillion. Throughout our guide was clear and friendly with a great sense of humour. Both vinyards were set in beautiful surroundings with very interesting information on both. We had plenty of time to explore and have lunch in Saint Emillion. Highly recommend this tour.

Great day visiting the wineries on e-bikes
The tour operator and bikes were exceptional and the wineries provided an excellent balance of information tasting and fun. We could not fault the day and the lunch was perfect too. We would highly recommend the tour

Very poor
The commentary for the entire trip was not clear to hear.
The sights were very uninteresting. Some historical sights were noticed but again I got nothing from the commentary.
Very poor investment of my time and money.

A wonderful, memorable day in Saint Emilion
It was our first time in Bordeaux and we were looking for a shorter day trip since we arrived in the morning. We have been to many wineries and this experience to Saint Emilion was different. We learned something new along the way and the three stops were all unique.
We met our lovely guide, Chihiro, and we drove to a family run winery. It was the perfect way to start the tour, followed by a picnic lunch under the trees in the vineyard, visited by the winery dog, Jojo. We next went to the city of Saint Emilion; a stunning yellow lime stone city centre. We visited a wine shop and did a tasting of different wines - smaller wineries with different histories. We walked around a bit before heading to the last winery in Lalande Pomerol. We had a great tour and it was unique because the chateau has different terroir for their plots, so the wines all tasted different.
A big thank you to Chihiro for educating us and being wonderful company for the day. We highly recommend this tour and would do another one next time we visit.
