Tuk Tuk tour

Brilliant tour. We had done it on foot previously but the tuk tuk tour was well worth it. Would highly recommend. The guide who drove us around was superb. Thank you

Excellent tour.

We had a first class tut tut tour. We learned a lot about the viniculture, appellations, and loved the Chateaux visits. The country tour was lovely and the history of the cellars and the wine tasting were great. Our guide was brilliant! Gorgeous place and well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Fabulous experience

Fabulous experience exploring the vineyards and caves by Tuk Tuk. We thought it was strange in the our guides swapped Tuk Tuk’s halfway through, but our second guide Edith was brilliant. She was very knowledgeable in a humble way. She also led us through a great tasting of their three Cremant. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough.

A fun way to get a view of the Saint-Emilion area, as well as seeing the cellars
Susan Kaye 06/05/2025
This was a fun experience to go through during a family reunion for my husband’s 70th. Our guide was chatty and informative. It was easy to organize and book tickets. And although we go there late, because of issues with parking, they were very nice about it. I definitely recommend this for people who do not have tons of time to discover the area and want to get to see vineyards and wine tasting all-in-one.

A bit disappointed
Louka 05/28/2025
The cloister was beautiful, but the tour wasn’t quite what we expected. On the website, it said that if the majority of the group speaks French, the tour would be conducted in French, and the rest would receive a written English translation. In our case, the majority did not speak French, yet the tour was still given in French — although we did receive the translation. We also read that we would be able to taste three different wines, but during the tasting, only two were offered. Inside the cloister, it felt a bit like a perfume store. We had expected a more authentic atmosphere, with details related to winemaking and the history of the cloister itself.
