Reviews
My tour of Saint Emilion and the wine tasting were a really cool experience. Guy was a super informative tour guide that gave history into Bordeaux itself and even its geography.
Thank you Rodolphe for a great day. Well balanced day with 3 chateau visits and a bit over 2 hours in Sainte Emilion
My wife and I had a fantastic experience on our St Emillion tour. A big part in our positive impression had our fabulous tour guide Oscar! He really knows wine. And the company was great, too (couple from US and mom & daughter from India) - had lots of fun. The three stops for tastings were very interesting but as always - it is a matter of personal taste. But all of them had nice wines. The time we had in St Emillion was fine, enough to have lunch and a stroll through the medieval city. All-in-all we highly recommend this tour!
