A nice tour for wine fans

Alan_B, Sep 2023

This was a nice tour. We visited 2 vineyards and also St.Emilion village. Sonia was our guide and was nice and friendly, speaks very good English. The guides at the vineyards were also nice and very knowledgeable. There is a lot of information given and everybody was happy to answer all our questions.

Loved it

Fantastic excusrion. We have done a few wine tours this summer throughout Europe and Emmanuel is by far the best guide we had. Really highly recommend this trip

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for the review :)

Disappointed

Lisa_M, Jul 2023

None as the trip left without me and my mum so didnt go on it.Turned up to the meeting point no sign of the tour guide

Response from Host, Jul 2023

I contacted you via the tripadvisor email at 13:22 to identify myself. Out of seven people, you’re the only one who didn’t make it to the rendezvous point. The meeting point is on Stalingrad Square, 1 Stalingrad Square in front of Lcl Bank. I am the only agency to be present here and the meeting point is not located in the historic center of Bordeaux. On Sunday, July 23, between 1:20 and 1:30 pm, in front of the LCL bank there was no one but me and the other five people who waited for you until 1:30 pm. You never came to the rendezvous point on time otherwise you would have seen us.

Highlight of Bordeaux

My guide Sonia was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. She shared so much information with us on the trip out to St Emilion. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the village was quiet. We did a quick walk around and then drove to two different vineyards. The first one was more informative and got tasting of chocolate, cheese and meats to accompany the wine. The second winery had more expensive wine. Both will ship wine home for you, the first one being more affordable.

A perfect day in wine country!

Our tour guide, Sonia, was amazing. She gave lots of information and made it a fun experience. We loved going to family owned vineyards and hearing about the process of wine making. Just really enjoyed the day!!

Athena_Q, May 2023

Our guide is very nice and it was a great trip. I enjoyed it a lot and turned out half day is just enough. Strongly recommend

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much for the review Athena :)

The perfect day!

Georgia_M, May 2023

This was such an amazing tour! It was recommended to us by friends who’d taken it before and it was fantastic. Sonia was an amazing guide & gave a great back story to the Bordeaux wine region. She made sure there was lots of breaks & picture moments as well as learning all things wine. Also ask her for restaurant recommendations! We loved both winery’s & it was the perfect balance between tasting, exploring & learning. We went on the morning tour and it was perfect! You get to explore the village before the crowds come, then learn about how wine is made before starting your tasting. Then after the tour you have the rest of the day to explore! Highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much for the review :)

tres magnifique

jody_l, May 2023

Sonia was very informative and this tour was intimate with a maximum of 8 people but in our tour there was only 6 of us. We didn’t want to spend a whole day on a bus so this tour was perfect for us. After a short drive we reached St Emilion where Sonia took us through a beautiful church and to a beautiful lookout. We then made our way to 2 boutique chateaux. Both wineries were very engaging and informative and beautiful wines were served. I highly recommend this tour and Sonia was wonderful. ❤️

Sonia was a wonderful guide. Extremely friendly and professional. We stopped at two wine chateaux, and Sonia also gave us a guided tour of Saint Emillion. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the review Nicole !

Toll

DrRdiger_O, Jul 2020

Es war sehr gut. Die führerin sprach gut englisch und die beiden privaten Weingüter gaben sich große Mühe. Ein toller Tag. Das Dorf alleine lohnt sich schon.
