Top Bordeaux Day Trips

It was a great day out! The dune was beautiful and lunch was great. Be aware that the dune walk is strenuous! I'm in reasonably good shape, but I struggled a bit, as did others in our group. Kevin was a friendly helpful guide, but he was much more comfortable with the Spanish speakers than the English speakers. And he switched between extremes of "no hurry, take your time" and "hurry up, we have to rush."

Lovely half day tour. Tristan at the chateau was brilliant, so friendly and knowledgeable and funny. He answered our questions with enthusiasm and taught me how to taste the wine and discover what it was I liked (or didn’t like) about each one, this will definitely help my shopping in future. Our visit to St Emillion with our guide Valentin was lovely. Again so knowledgeable and friendly, he took an interest in each person in the group and was very encouraging of our questions. Very well organised, easy to find the meeting point and the minivan was very clean and comfortable.

This was a great way to see a lot of Bordeaux in 3 hours! As well as the historic sights of the old town, we got to cross the river to see a lovely arty area that we would not have found on our own! The tour guide was jus lovely and very knowledgeable and she made the whole experience a real pleasure! Highly recommended!

My husband and I and one other couple were the only ones on this small group tour. It was a beautiful sunny and warm spring day and our guide Paola was very friendly and informative, sharing her love of wine and answering our many questions. We had an hour of free time in Saint-Emilion, a beautiful small town with many great unique shops. The two wineries we went to both had delicious wine and knowledgeable guides. We tasted four wines at each location and each had its own distinctive flavour. Paola put together a lovely lunch with a bottle of wine for us after the first winery and we sat and enjoyed conversation, and great food! I highly recommend this tour and Paola for a relaxing day of learning and tasting!

What a wonderful day in the French countryside! St-Emilion is such a cute town. I wish we were given some extra time to walk around, but the full day tour is very busy. We visited 3 wineries and a wine store during the day. Stan was a wonderful guide, and I really enjoyed the fact that there were only 8 of us on this tour,

Francois was an incredible guide. He knew as much-if not more- than the guides at the vineyards we stopped at. The tour was exceptionally well planned, from the easy pickup in central Bordeaux to the thoughtfully chosen stops throughout the day. Francois was extremely knowledgeable, not only about the specific regions we visited, but about wine overall. From exploring vineyards south of Bordeaux to traveling east into Saint-Émilion—visiting both the town and two vineyards—every part of the experience felt intentional. The highlight was a wonderful stop at a second-generation, family-run vineyard (Systey) paired with a delicious picnic. It was truly a day well spent. Francois was also very accommodating, adjusting the schedule to move up a tasting at our request, which we greatly appreciated. He even gave amazing recommendations within the city of Bordeaux including a wine bar and a delicious duck restaurant that we visited. It was truly a wonderful day !

I learned a lot from this tasting experience. The tasting experience was in French, even though I thought I had put in the English filter. That being said the facilitator did try to include English and my translation app did the rest. I recommend, lovely wine and good information that I have used since I got home

This was definitely one of the highlights of our 2 week trip. The whole experience along with our guide Fabian made for an excellent day. Highly recommend. From the tour pace, the historical highlights, the wine and cultural information. Fabian was outstanding. Our lunch inside the chateau was more than we expected and surely a highlight.
