(Translated by Google) Oscar gave us a fantastic half day tour of St Emilion. He is much more than a tour guide. He has a very good knowledge of wine and we learned a lot from him. And in addition he is a very pleasant and nice person. Our only regret is not taking the full day tour. Highly recommend this tour. (Original) Oscar ga oss en fantastisk fin halvdagstur i St Emilion. Han er mye mer enn en turistguide. Han har veldig god kunnskap om vin og vi lærte mye av han. Og i tillegg er han en veldig behagelig og hyggelig person. Det eneste vi angrer på er å ikke ha tatt heldagstur. Anbefaler denne turen på det sterkeste.
