Time of my life!

Alex provided what my sister described as the time of her life, riding on, again as she said, a full blown motorcycle on the freeway at 60 mph. She loved it! The majority of the trip of course was causally driving through the beautiful wine countryside of Saint-Emilion stopping and visiting the beautiful towns and having a fabulous lunch in the countryside all provided by Alex. He was the best, and why wouldn’t he, his joy and love of what does shows through as only one who is doing exactly what he wants to do can do! Highly recommended this trip especially if you have never been on a motorcycle. Thank you Alex for the time of my sister’s life experience!

One of the most fun things we've done on a trip!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Alex. We enjoyed a picnic, wine tasting, driving through vineyards (and almost getting stuck LOL) and seeing the beautiful sights around Saint Emilion. My wife and I had permanent smiles on our faces for the whole day. Alex is an excellent guide/driver and is very personable and engaging. We'd do this again on our next trip and take in some new sights (perhaps right in Bordeaux itself). Great day! Thank you Alex.

It's perfect, thank you very much for these comments, it goes straight to our hearts :)

Retro Tour a fantastic experience

The perfect way to spend a day in Bordeaux away from the crowds! Alex picked us up exactly as planned and had selected 2 unique chateaus as part of our experience visiting St Emilion. Our private visits at each chateau plus a picnic lunch created a memorable and relaxing day. Traveling with Alex in his side car through Bordeaux was so much fun. Definitely recommend & will be telling family and friends to add this to their next trip must-do list. -Heather & Patrick

This was a WOW !

We loved every minute of our experience. Alexandre is a gifted tour manager to put you at ease with riding on a motorcycle to tasting wines with the proprietor of the winery.

Oh thank you very much! I'm glad you're happy

A wonderful day!

We spent a great day with Alexander who made us discover with passion the region of St Emilion. Despite the weather, sometimes sullen and even rainy, we discovered magnificent landscapes, castles and vineyards as far as the eye can see. We really drove through the vineyards, a totally immersive experience in the grapes just before the harvest. Alexander showed us around and told us stories. He is very friendly and organizes the day so that we have very varied experiences. It was really great!

Operator response

Merci Christine! Un super commentaire :) Nous aussi, nous avons passé une très bonne journée en votre compagnie.

Amazing tour

I loved this tour, Alex is a very nice guy and was great to spend the day with him, he knows the best places to taste very good wine and the best roads to see the amazing landscape in Saint-Emilion. I strongly recommend this tour.
