An absolutely great tour that is worth the price. The group size is kept small, which makes the whole thing more pleasant and relaxed. You learn a lot about wine and there is also a guided tour of the city. The wines were really delicious, as was the cheese and sausage, which was served at the end.

This tour was really enjoyable, informative and fun in the same way! Remy is a really fun guide for your trip to St.Emilion region and it's surroundings. Communication was super easy, very informative throughout the journey (not just St.Emilion but also including Bordeaux on the way and other parts of the city. The visits to the Chateaux and the wine tasting experience in itself was also very lovely and enjoyable. We had a great time and recommend it to anyone.

A really good tour. I recommend it because you get to visit a couple of vineyards, learn about how they make wine in Bordeaux and you get a guided tour though St Emilion village, which seems hard to get to unless you are driving. It might be hard to organise all these thing yourself. Our guide Remi was excellent. He was really knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of info. He was patient and took his time.
