Reviews
This was an excellent tour which was exactly as advertised. Dulce (our guide) was very friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour very much.
Took a half day tour to St Emilion from Bordeaux. Great guide with a skill and ease of storytelling along side the history, facts, local culture, and all things associated with vines, grapes and wines. We passed through several chateaux vineyards, with wine tasting at Chateau Bellevue and had a walking tour of St Emilion itself. Great tour and guide ( name was Guy)
We had a wonderful trip with Benoit…would definitely go again!
