      Amazing Time thanks to Galaad
      I had the most amazing time on this tour. Not only was the guide, Galaad, amazingly knowledgeable, but cared so much about the winemaking process and teaching us about it. Super fascinating and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone going to Bordeaux and is interested in St. Emillion

      Fun and Informative!
      Our enthusiastic host guided us thru an informative morning learning about the sights, smells, tastes and winemaking of the Bordeaux region followed by a picnic lunch along the waterfront and an afternoon of visiting 2 chateaus and the village of Saint Emillion. The small group of six allowed for a very personalized experience with a warm and informative tour guide. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun “taste” of Bordeaux.

      Wonderful wine tour
      Fabien was extremely knowledgeable and provided us all with an excellent experience. He was highly professional and gave detailed information about the region, the wine and about the town history. He answered questions with ease and made the experience feel relaxing. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone looking to try good wine and learn a lot along the way.

      Scintillating Saint Emilion
      The tour was terrific and our guide, Galaad, made it special by sharing history and current information on the sites we visited and those we drove past. We had time to look around and take photos and spend a bit of time at places. Galaad was knowledgeable and friendly and very witty and she was very considerate of the members of the group. The wine tour part was interesting and the food and wine pairings were perfect!

      Fun day!
      Our tour to St. Emilion was amazing! Prior to the winery tour and tasting our guide Galan took us to the town of St. Emilion and through the church there as well as to a wine cellar/cave. She informed us of local treats and we had time to take photos and pick up treats. Once we got to the winery we had a great tour through the facility and tasted 3 wines that were paired with cheese, meat and chocolate. I would definitely recommend this tour!

      We had an amazing experience despite knowing little about French wine. We can’t wait to come back and complete the St Emilion tour.

      Wonderful Private Tour!
      We loved this tour! It was private and personable, and a really great way to see the region and visit a chateaux which otherwise was not easily accessible. Saint Emilion was a lovely village worth seeing, and the whole region is beautiful!

      Fun afternoon with a friendly, warm and enthusiastic guide, Galaad touring Saint-Emilion and visiting two wineries.
      We had a fun afternoon with our knowledgeable, warm and enthusiastic guide, Galaad, touring Saint-Emilion and two nearby wineries. Galaad took the extra time to show up the limestone caves of a producer I. Saint-Emilion as well as some of the food specialties Saint-Emilion is known for. We never felt rushed and the wine tasting was augmented with cheese, chocolate and charcuterie that Galaad provided. Just a perfect day!

      Our guide Gallad was outstanding. She is an absolute expert as it relates to Bordeaux generally and specifically St Émilion! She also know her wine! The tour was enjoyable and small enough for all of us to really enjoy our afternoon together. I highly recommend this tour!

      High quality tour
      The trip was well timed. We had plenty of time to be shown highlights of Saint Emilion by our guide and then had a really excellent tour of 2 chateaux followed by a high quality wine tasting. Our guide Galaad was bubbly and fun, our group was good, and the whole experience was terrific.

      Great Saint-Emilion Tour with Galaad
      Galaad was an excellent guide. She was funny, full of interesting information, accommodating of our specific interests and preferences, genuinely excited to share her passion for the area. I highly recommend Galaad, as she took great care of us and made sure we had a wonderful and memorable afternoon.

    A family of 4 with their sons aged 6 and 4! The guide was very kind and friendly and we just happened to be the only ones at that time, so they arranged the tour to our liking. The staff of the chateau we visited also taught us very carefully about wine making and the chateau, after which we tasted and tasted the wines and nibbles that were great! During that time, I was able to enjoy the chateau tour with peace of mind, with the guide taking care of the children and the staff providing play equipment for the children. We really appreciate Saint-Émilion's attentiveness to our pace. English communication is mandatory, but there are few tours available with children, so this is especially recommended for those who want to enjoy a wine tour with children (even if you don't have children, you'll have plenty of fun!)

    For lazy readers:
    Fantastic tour

    Long version:
    Initially we ran into problems since their booking system didn’t update in time so we didn’t get to go on the tour we actually booked.

    30 minutes after the actual tour would start we got offered to go on another tour in the afternoon instead. We were left a bit disappointed since that messed up our plan for the day. However, as we got on the tour we had the most fanstastic guide, Hugo.
    He made a superb tour with many interesting story’s and facts.
    He also knows Bordeaux very well and had many tips regarding restaurants, wine bars were he helped us make reservations.

    All in all, he turned it around and our initial bad experience with the firm was made into a great experience.

    Would really recommend booking a tour with Hugo!

    Doesn’t worth cost I paid. Half day tour.
    1. Both guides - tour guide and chateaux guide were good. Good English. Explained process in interesting way.
    2. Not enough time to explore wineyard area and take pictures. Tour total time was 8:00-13:00, 1 hour took to wineyard with visiting Saint Emillion village. In village we just walked around may be 30min. Didn’t have time even for coffee. 1 hour for guide explaining wine making process. 30 min for wine tasting. 1 hour back to Bordeaux.
    3. Very small chateaux and small wineyard. Doesnt match one on prictures in tour description. Wasn’t impressed by chateaux.
    4. We tasted only 2 glasses of wine. Very small amount of antipasti - cheese, salami, choclate, bread.
    I don’t recomment hald day tour. Better to go for full day tour with lunch on wineyard side.

    The tour was great from start to finish. Our tour guide "Genevieve" was very knowledgeable in every aspect. She knew everything about the history of the area. She even gave us tips on great places for dinner that night.
    Looking forward to comeback and take another tour

    Informative, fun and engaging. Philippe was terrific and able to seamlessly move from French to English all the while adding personal touches. The town of St Emilion was a wonderful place with a rich history, definitely deserving of a future visit. Wonderful wines and beautiful countryside.

    We had a great visit to the town of St. Emilion, and then to a chateau where the process of wine-making was explained. We got to taste two vintages from this chateau, which was especially interesting. Valentin, our guide, is knowledgeable about wine and full of enthusiasm for the industry. He's very good with his guests, and made the whole tour informative and fun.
