The wine tour was lovely but could've been more to it. For the price and time they could've added another winery to the agenda. Enjoyed the one we visited... learned a lot from the wine maker. To add to the experience, it was supposed to include some cheese and crackers but the guide forgot. And waited till one of the group mentioned it before admitting to it. No big deal but would've been nice if she said something to the group first instead of waiting for us to ask. Or maybe offer to buy us water to compensate as it was only 3 of us. Overall a nice experience, walking through St. Emilion was magical, our guide was really knowledgeable and the whole process was easy.
My College age, daughter, and I went on this wine tour in late June. The reason we picked this particular tour is because it was half-day, and it included transportation and a stop in the village of St. Emilion. Because of the unusual heat wave, I was especially happy to have air-conditioned transportation. Our tour guide, Margaux, was very knowledgeable and her English was very good. I enjoyed the information that she shared during the ride as well as for half of our time in the village. We had another half hour to roam in the village. I wish we had more time to spend in the village, but we had to get to our wine tasting, so we only had a total of one hour. The winery tour and tasting was perfect! We were able to learn about the winemaking process in this small vineyard and the tasting was outside in the shade with beautiful views. We also had a small with the wine. I would recommend this tour 100%. 10 out of 10!
Hi, we are thrilled to read this comment. Margot is a very good guide and she will make sure that you haver the time of your life during this tour. We hope to see you soon at Olala Bordeaux to visit the left bank of Bordeaux with us !
We traveled to Saint Emilion from Bordeaux in a Mercedes Van with an experienced, friendly and knowledgeable guide. On the journey, we passed through fields of vineyards and numerous chateaus before spending time in the town of Saint Emilion and Chateau Rocher.
Hello, we are delighted that this half-day with us has met your expectations. Hoping you will come back very soon to discover the left bank of Bordeaux with us!
This is a nice short tour. Mia was our guide and was fantastic. She is local to St Emilion and has a career’s worth of experiences and it shows. The whole day was great even despite the unusual heatwave and unusual amount of traffic. The only unanimous note we have for the company is that for this vehicle, this should only be a tour for 7 people not 8. The front middle seat should not have a customer in it. Otherwise, great job!
Thank you for this comment, Mia will be delighted to read it. We have taken note of the comment regarding the van, and thank you for your recommendation. Thanks again for the review.
All good with the tour, we left on time, And the guide was really friendly. No problem or complains.
Thank you for this review, glad that you enjoyed the tour and the guide ! Can't wait to see you in Bordeaux !
This tour was very small so you can ask the guide any questions. They take a maximum of 8 people and they have a nice office to meet at starting the tour. It was a short 1 hour drive to the winery which is a small villa in the country. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the grapes and wine making process. Tasting 4 different wines was a great education and the cheese and fresh bread was delicious. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a small group and small winery with lots of education.
Hi, it's important for us that you can enjoy so privacy and a special moment with your guide. We have this option for our clients because, as you said, we want you to enjoy as much as you can even if it is for 4 hours ! Thnaks again for this comment Jill !
Lovely half day tour. Tristan at the chateau was brilliant, so friendly and knowledgeable and funny. He answered our questions with enthusiasm and taught me how to taste the wine and discover what it was I liked (or didn’t like) about each one, this will definitely help my shopping in future. Our visit to St Emillion with our guide Valentin was lovely. Again so knowledgeable and friendly, he took an interest in each person in the group and was very encouraging of our questions. Very well organised, easy to find the meeting point and the minivan was very clean and comfortable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable half-day tour. Valentin will be especially happy to read your kind words. We’re also very glad you enjoyed your time with Tristan at the château; appreciating him means we’ve made the right choice in our partners. We truly enjoy working with Château Haut Rocher, with its beautiful setting and excellent wines. We hope to welcome you again soon—perhaps this time on a Left Bank tour!
Too short, half a day tour did not allow enough time to explore the town of Saint-Emilion after travelling time and the time for the tasting, we had about 20 minutes only. Great guide and tasting host, the ‘charcuterie’ with the tasting was very sparse consisting of two small thin slices of sausage, two matchsticks of cheese and two very small rounds of bread. Beautiful countryside and comfortable travel.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. It’s true that the half-day Saint-Émilion tour is a shorter format, as the round-trip travel already takes around 2 hours, which naturally limits the time spent on site. We keep this option for visitors with tighter schedules, such as those on a multi-city trip or with only a few days in Bordeaux. For a more in-depth experience, our full-day Saint-Émilion tour is a great alternative, with more time in the village in the morning followed by visits to three châteaux. We’re glad you enjoyed the guide, the tastings, and the beautiful countryside, and we take note of your comment regarding the food portion.
Really enjoyed it . Very informative. Lovely wine tasting. The only criticism is that it's too little time in st Emilion .
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the experience, found it informative, and appreciated the wine tasting. We also note your comment regarding the time in Saint-Émilion and will share it with our team for review.
Really nice half-day experience with very knowledgeable and friendly guides! Even the meeting point at Olala in Bordeaux was welcoming and impressive, and the transport van was brand new and comfortable. Would recommend for the half day
Thank you for your lovely review ! We’re so glad you had a great half-day experience and enjoyed the knowledge and friendliness of our guides. It’s wonderful to hear that it started till the entrance in our place ! We really appreciate your recommendation !
