Wonderful 1/2 day in St-Emilion
K. Kantor 08/23/2024
This is a small group tour, so there were 7 of us plus the guide/driver, Regis. He was very knowledgeable and shared much of the history and geography regarding the region during the drive there. He was very good about making sure everyone was included and kept track of us while we walked through the town - which was packed with tourists. The town is lovely - we didn't have a lot of time there, but it was enjoyable. The winery tour and tasting was great - the hostess (sorry, I have forgotten her name) was very helpful as well. A very enjoyable 1/2 day excursion!

The tour was great. Melanie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and a great host even offering to take photos. The Chateau and wines were excellent as was the tour of St Emilion. Would definitely recommend. And thank you Melanie for your enthusiasm.

We enjoyed the way that the tour was constructed with a visit to St Emilion first and then to a vineyard.The guide Kia was excellent.He was knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed be taken to the wine cellar and seeing the wine aging as well as going to the church. The vineyard visit was good .We enjoyed the wine tasting and the girl that took it was really nice.Wevwould recommend this tour.

Repetitive and overpriced

The tour felt rushed and repetitive. At the first winery no one could understand the woman giving the presentation from the winery. Her accent was very strong and I thought it was just me until after I spoke to other people and we agreed no one knew what she was saying. The wineries were okay, I expected a bit more of a chateau setting. Both wineries gave the same presentation on how the wine is made. I would have liked more time in St. Emilion. At the beginning of our tour a couple showed up eating so we had to wait for them to finish to start the drive. Maybe that’s what delayed us. We should have just gone without them. In the end not worth $99 Euro. I’d find another tour.
