“Had the best time! One of our favorite things we did on our 12-day France trip. Our guide, Kaio, was friendly and knowledgeable. The picnic is a lunch in the chateau and was very good and filling. Not a lot of wine tastings for a whole-day event, but you get what’s in the listing. Be prepared to ride bikes most of the day although with e-bikes it was not too tiring. Also be warned, the e-bikes are a bit heavy and a little challenging for shorter people whose feet can’t quite touch the ground, but doable. Wear sneakers, pants, and bring water. The stop in St. Emilion to walk around…”

“I did several tours in Bordeaux and this one for sure was my favorite. I really enjoyed it, especially the biking part. That alone is totally worth it. We had lunch in a beautiful chateau, then went to organic winery, and after that to Saint Emilion. Our guide Rémy was great, he told us a lot about the region, traditions, history. A small suggestion to make this tour even better, is to have some small activity in Saint Emilion, feels like we didn’t have much time there. I give 10/10 for the guide and 9/10 for the tour.”

I highly recommend this tour as you get to meet local producers and have one of the best lunches!”
