Bordeaux/St Emillion wine experience - Fabulous guide with personal knowledge of the region. A wonderful education in wine making techniques in the Bordeaux region. Also time to experience the UNESCO heritage village of St Emillion - quite special. I highly recommend this experience.

Must do trip!! - Absolute wonderful day. Was lovely to get out of the city and into the countryside. Saint Emillion so pretty and just enough time to look around. Then visited three château. We had a lovely lunch at the second Château.Our guide Gaspor was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day with the other travellers that we shared than mini bus with and when we return to Bordeaux, we finished off the day in a wine bar . Together and everyone got on really well. This was the highlight of our trip. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Well worth the money - We had a fantastic tour visiting Saint-Émilion and three different wineries. We got to taste a lot more than eight, probably more like 12 and the owners of the wineries were so nice and a great laugh. The other 6 people on our tour were fab. René was a great tour guide and so knowledgable about wines. Definitely recommend this trip!

Must-do in Bordeaux - We had a wonderful time learning about the wines and history of this beautiful region. Our guide, Renae, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and wine — we learned a lot! I appreciated that at the beginning of the tour he gave us an idea of what the costs might be between the 3 wineries we were visiting so we could budget accordingly… it is not cheap to send wine back home! I would highly recommend this tour, being able to sit back and take in the scene while learning about it, without stress, was wonderful. It was a highlight of our trip to Bordeaux!

St Emilion A to Z - Sign up for a great day of fun, learning, and wine tasting. <1 hr ride each way. Visited the town, learned traditional and bio methods of wine-making and tasted 9 good to excellent wines. The presenters at each chateau were very knowledgeable and engaging. Nicole was a repository of information and clearly has a passion for wine and talking about it. Highly recommend

A spectacular day in St Emilion - Our St. Emilion city tour and wine tasting were exceptional. Our guide, who holds degrees in enology and hospitality, expertly explained the wines and wineries. The tour, personalized to our group of two couples and a single traveler, featured a picnic among the vines and visits to three Grand Cru Classé wineries, each offering informative tours and tastings of 3-5 wines. Our guide knew all the best spots for wine, sightseeing, and photography.

Château tours - Our guide Jeremy was incredibly knowledgeable. The Village was so charming and cute. However, it would’ve been nice to be given a little bit of time to wander through the shops rather than race through the village. Or at least been given an option to go along with the guide and walk to viewpoints or walk through the stores quickly. We visited three wineries. After the first explanation of how the wine making works, it was a bit much. By the second winery, we had had enough information.Thankfully, the third winery had a beautiful view and serene outdoor setting with a lovely hostess as well. Overall, the excursion was lovely with some minor changes.

Disappointing lunch - We took a full day tour to St Emilion with Olala last week. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Firstly there was a tour of the village. It is lovely but full of tourists. We visited three vineyards and tasted three wines at each place. It was certainly very interesting and the hosts were informative. Our only complaint was lunch, which was included, in our package. It was very poor. We each got a small glass container with stodgy rice, tinned tomato and a few pieces of tasteless chicken. It was not good. We didn’t eat it. cDessert was overcooked caramelised apple. There was also a small amount of bread cheese and charcuterie, which was ok. It was a long enough day and we were hungry.
