Without a doubt, the place is incredible, the Guide has been very kind despite not speaking Spanish or even trying to.
We visited a winery that was very small and they served us very little wine to taste, it is not worth the €85. We only stayed for 40 minutes, with very little travel.
We didn't visit any castles, we just observed them from the road.
Excellent transfer, attention and punctuality.

We've been half day at St Emilian and it was a great experience. Nicole, our guide was amazing and she knows so many things about wine. And Frank, from the chateaux was a good host.
Next time when I'm in Bordeaux I will take the full day tour.

Very much enjoyed the day with our guide Margot and our small group. Have done wine tours in other regions and countries but learnt so much more on this one thanks to Margot and the people at each of the tastings. Pleased we selected this tour, great way to experience the region and the wine.

Me and my mom did this tour Tuesday 16th April and it was absolutely fabulous!!! The guide Emmanuele was fantastic, she's so friendly and has so much interesting information to offer, Nicole was also a lovely person and will make a fantastic guide too! The trip to Saint Emilion was incredible starting at a beautiful historic church and then absorbing the views from the Bell Tower at the top of the town, a walk through the town gave us a super interesting insight to the history of Saint Emilion. We then visited a vineyard - Château Grangey - the owner Franc was welcoming and friendly with lots of interesting information and fabulous wine, we got to taste 3 which were all fantastic and different. The surroundings of the vineyard in the French countryside is beautiful. I'm absolutely going to book another trip to Saint Emilion with Olala next time I'm in Bordeaux, however next time I'd like more time in Saint Emilion so would book a full day trip. Thank you
Jess and Debbie

Due to bad weather, I felt that tour was interrupted somehow. I would also be happier if the tour guide provided more historical background info. Don’t get me wrong, our tour guide did a good job. He tried his best but our group members were too diverse in terms of knowledge of and interests in St Emillion.

Our guide Valentin was very knowledgeable and was receptive in answering all of our questions! First, we did a tour of the medieval village of St. Emilion, which was so stunning. Then, we headed to a winery to try four wines! Unfortunately it was raining when we went so we were unable to explore the actual winery, but the owner of the vineyard gave us a tour of their indoor facilities. It would have been nice if the tour included some food, but Valentin gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and things to do for the rest of our time in Bordeaux.

Great half day trip, nice to visit a small production vineyard (more intimate experience) our guide Margaux was very knowledgeable and made the tour of St Emilion very interesting. I appreciate her effort to make it a great experience and keeping us on time

Truth be told, there's not a lot to see and do in St Emilion if you're not deeply into wine, or have a tour of the excavated "monolithic" church.
Still, our guide Vincent made the tour informative and entertaining. The winery tour was interesting and the tastings quite fun as well. Despite many visits to wineries over the years, there's something new to learn in every region.
The tour was worth the time and money, and we may return to St Emilion to see more of the underground - both Church and wine caves.
