Fun day in the dunes
Great experience kevin picked us up from the hotel. We first drove to the dunes a spectacular place for climbing and admiring the wonderful views from the top. Lunch with oysters and shrimps at a little restaurant was also great. Finally an hour in Arcachon. Overall a highly recommended experience Kevin was a great and fun driver/ guide.

St Emillion wine tour
An hours drive from Bordeaux in a vehicle carrying 8 of us, was a good way for us all to get to know each other before the tour. along with our Fri er & guide, Silvie, who was very knowledgeable, friendly & good company.
We enjoyed visiting the 3 wineries, sampling good sized glasses of 11 different wines throughout the day. From a personal point of view, I wish I’d had a bigger breakfast or taken some snacks to eat along the way! The lunch at one of the chateaus was pretty basic - I think bread & cheese would’ve been much nicer to eat alongside the wine!
All in a though, the day was lovely & would definitely like to spend more time in St Emillion to explore another time.
P.S … wear trainers - the cobbles in the village will be slippery when wet!

Our “Gran Crew” had the best day!
We had a fun-filled, FULL day with Roberto as we travelled to the left and right bank wine areas. The stop in St Emilion was the best of all— would have love to spend the entire day there. What a charming, amazing town. Roberto combined the history and wine discussion as we moved through the day. Our tour was on a Sunday, so many Chateaus were not open for us to visit, but Rustic Tours did a great job of curating tours that accommodated us on the weekend. We definitely plan to come back and focus on each of the areas in separate tours, as it was a long day. But SO fun and we had the best time what we called our “Grand Crew!” Thank you, Roberto!

Fun and relaxing wine tour
We highly recommend this tour. We liked everything about it. Our driver and tour operator, Paola, was pleasant, informative and very helpful throughout the journey. The picnic was very scenic and the chateaus we visited were top notch. The van was spacious and secure. Would definitely do it again.

Saint-Emillion Village/WineryTasting Tour
Our Guide, Xavier was excellent. From start to finish he shared so much information with the group. From the time we left Bordeaux he starting sharing even points of interest about Bordeaux and area.
When we arrived for the Saint-Emillion village visit he was quick to give us a few tips on extra highlights that are not often obvious to other tourists.
The visit to the Haut Rocher winery was excellent. The tour and wine tasting were very informative. The presentation gave us some great history on the winery as well as the present day process. The tastings/pairing were very nicely presented and appreciated by all. I would highly recommended OLALA!!

Fun day discovering St-Emilion
Lovely day. So much fun biking through French wine country. It a full day with 2 tastings at two different Chateaux and one in town. Light lunch of cheese /baguette/ dessert. Our guide Pauline was so nice and informative. The tastings are small; no real opportunity to have a glass and linger longer. But I guess that’s the nature of these tours. The e-bikes were great as it was a solid amount of cycling. Overall really great. Highly recommend.

Tammy was EXTREMELY knowledgeable of the City Center
We had a wonderful walking tour of Bordeaux with Tammi! She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history, local insight, and hidden gems along the way. You could tell she truly knows Bordeaux inside and out. She navigated the city effortlessly and made getting around easy and enjoyable, which allowed us to relax and fully take in the experience. Tammi’s enthusiasm and expertise brought the city to life. We left feeling like we not only saw Bordeaux, but truly experienced it.

Thank gods for the stairs 🥰
Well, what a nice break from the lovely wine tours. A perfect day of strolling and a bit of challenging climb to the top of the dunes for an endless view of the French coast of Arcachon. The Playa dunes were much larger than I had imagined. The walk up the dunes was made easier by the stairs. Then we had a lunch of the freshest, and sweetest oysters, virtually right off the boats. Fabian was a very considerate and knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed the entire day

Alex Wine!
This is a great tour. A mix of winery sizes and regions. All were so knowledgeable and the tour did not seem like they were giving a rehearsed speech. Alex is phenomenal, smart, funny with a wide knowledge base about wine and French history. The stop in St. Emillion was also a treat. It was a great day!
