DENISE_S, Jun 2026

Extremely memorable!

We had a fantastic time on our private Medoc region wine tour. The driver was fantastic and taught us alot about the region. The car so comfortable and so much fun. All sorts of people were waving at us because the car is such a unique classic. The wine tours were private and our lunch was one of the best meals that we had during our entire stay in France. What a fantastic experience!

Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch

Stephanie_L, May 2026

Highly Recommend the bike tour and wine experience

I had an excellent full-day biking wine tour through Saint-Émilion, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my time in Bordeaux. The experience struck a great balance between activity, education, and pure enjoyment. Cycling through the vineyards was both scenic and relaxed, with just enough structure to keep things smooth without feeling rushed. The wine component was particularly well done. We visited a variety of estates, each offering a different perspective on the region—from traditional family-run châteaux to more modern operations. The tastings were thoughtfully curated, and the guides provided clear, engaging explanations about terroir, grape varieties, and production methods without being overly technical. It felt like a genuine wine training experience rather than just casual sampling. What really made the day stand out was the variety: different wines, distinct locations, and unique atmospheres at each stop. Combined with the charm of Saint-Émilion itself, it made for a rich and memorable experience. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Bordeaux in a more active and immersive way.

Dune of Pilat, Oysters and Arcachon ! What else?

Mitzi_C, Mar 2026

Beautiful Day Exploring the Coast

From start to finish, Kevin created a memorable experience. The highlight of the day was the fresh oyster, shrimp, and wine lunch. The dunes were magnificent, with a climb that might be strenuous for older folks (like us) , but Kevin is there to help you take it slow and easy if necessary. The final stop was the lovely upscale seaside resort of Arcachon. The beaches were beautiful and Kevin helped us find a seaside cafe with delicious coffee and ice cream! After admiring the signature white and red houses, we headed back to our hotel in Bordeaux. Highly recommend visitors to Bordeaux take this day trip to the coast.

Bordeaux Essentials Sightseeing Bike Tour with a Local Guide

Rod_C, Sep 2025

Knowledgeable guide

Saturday morning tour. I forgot our guide’s name but he was wonderful, very knowledgeable about the history and information about the landmarks despite only having been in city for 9 years. He even cracked a few jokes here and there. He also did the right pace, not too slow and not too fast but enough for everyone to keep up but feel relaxed. I would highly recommend him. Bikes were Peugeot’s with baskets and 6 speed gearing which made it easy to bring our bags and make it up a few inclines (there wasn’t much but gears made small inclines and keeping up or accelerating that much easier).
