We had a wonderful day with Margot. The itinerary was customized to our group preferences. The entire group truly enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend going with the company. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to families and friends.
Thank you so much for this review, Margot will be thrilled to read this comment, she is fond of wine and it shows on her tour! Have a nice day.
Simply marvelous day spent with our guide Gaspard! From start to finish he made our day spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the history and churches of Saint Emilion along with his background in wine. We travelled with our 9 year old daughter and he made sure even the wine tastings were fun and she never felt left out! The day was perfection. He felt like one of the family by the end of the day.
Hi Sean, this comment is the reason why we are doing this work, we are delighted to see that you enjoyed this tour with Gaspard, who will be so happy to hear about it. Thanks again, have a great day Sean!
Gaspard was a very good and knowledgble guide with a lot of enthusiasm and good command of English. Showing all the interesting parts of Saint-Emilion. The monolitic church was a great experience. We also visited the chateau Figeac and La Gaffeliere. Very guide guides there as well! Everything is well worth the price for the private tour!
Thank you very much, we plan everything according to your needs and wishes to create an amazing day with one of our guides, and Gaspard is very passionate, he will be delighted to read this, thanks again, I hope to see you soon!
Lovely experience with scenic views. Add the lunch option, amazing views and food. Wines good too ;)
Hi David, we are glad that you enjoyed the whole experience with us, do not hesitate to come back anytime soon !
We first visited Saint-Émilion in a walking tour. The monolitical cathedral is aatonoshing! Then we visited 2 grand cru classé wineries in private tours and coikd see the process in them. Our guide, Emmanuelle, is a good driver and has a great knowledge of the winery theme. I recomend this tour!
Hi Edouard, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed your day in Saint-Emilion! The monolithic cathedral is truly astonishing, and we're glad you also appreciated the private visits at two Grand Cru Classé wineries. Emmanuelle will be thrilled to know her knowledge and guidance made the tour even more memorable. Thank you so much for recommending us, we'd be delighted to welcome you back for another Bordeaux adventure!
