Great experience - highly recommend!!!

I went on this excursion with my boyfriend and another couple friend - and we can't say enough great things about it. The entire experience was amazing. This was my first time riding an e-bike and it didn't take much time to adjust. The guide was really easy going and knowledgeable about the region. Our group was not too big, I think 7 people in total, and it was perfect. Although the weather kept changing throughout the day, this didn't dampen our spirits at all. Riding through the vineyards in St. Emilion really is a perfect way to see the area and be fully integrated in the environment. Even if you're not a wine-lover, you'll appreciate the beauty and abundance around you. I couldn't stop smiling as we were riding - and I honestly wanted to keep going at the end. Highly recommend this experience if you're in the area. A dream come true.

Remi was absolutely amazing. He taught us so much about wine and the whole day from start to finish was perfect. Lunch at the château was wonderful and the wines we tastes and (bought!!) were exceptional. Would highly recommend

The tour was a great introduction to the wines of Bordeaux. Our guide, Hugo, was very helpful and gave lots of great information and was always willing to answer questions. Lunch was incredible and seeing and visiting the wineries was wonderful. The trip was laid-back and relaxing. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn about Bordeaux wines and see some of the countryside.

Great tour. Jerome was a fantastic guide. Excellent option for everybody, even if you are not a wine expert. Many wines to try with a delicious lunch and some more in another chateaux :)
