Best way to see St Emilion - Had a great day with Daniela! Lovely picnic luncheon, best charcuterie ever. Visited two wineries…loved Ms Gaubert and her family winery which dated back to 18th century. Gives you an understanding of why this area is so special with unique terroirs. E-bikes are a great way to go!

A Bordeaux experience to remember - Amazing day. After simple journey from Bordeaux to St E, we got e-bikes which were great and off we went, exploring the wonderful countryside around this iconic and historic town. Cycling was a pleasure with the e-element very helpful. After a stop at two local organic vineyards (including tastings) before and after a delicious picnic lunch (inc a mix of local delicacies - meat, cheese etc), we explored St E town inc a quick coffee and further wine-tasting (6 wines!) in a smart wine shop there. To finish off, we then popped into a homemade chocolate shop, before heading back to Bordeaux. A fun and interesting experience, very well guided - it exceeded all our expectations.

You have to take this tour! - I haven’t rode a bike in over two decades but I decided to take a chance and sign up for the day-long ebike tour in Saint Emilion because I read so many amazing reviews. It was incredible! This is the only way to experience the views, smells, sounds of the region. Ed, our guide, was lovely — very knowledgeable, good-natured. This has been one of my favorite European experiences, yet.

Amazing day! - A group of 15 of us went on a bike tour of two vineyards. The electric bikes were so much fun and really made travelling so easy. It was so picturesque and the tours of the vineyards were so informative and interesting. 10/10 would recommend!! Thank you Julie and Daniella for the best day!

Don’t miss this tour - This was a fantastic experience. We met Daniela in Bordeaux who drove us to Saint Emilion to start our tour. She kept us entertained on the drive, getting to know each of us and sharing her extensive wine knowledge. Once arrived, we were fitted to our high end e-bikes and met Jorens our guide for the day. He also was fantastic, making sure we all enjoyed our day and taking us to two excellent vineyards for wine tasting. He treated us to a wonderful picnic with plenty more wine for lunch. Once back at base, he even provided some macaroons during our final short tour of the town. Everyone really enjoyed the day, and I can’t think how it could be improved.

Must do when in Bordeaux!! - We truly enjoyed a wonderful day on the bikes! Riding thru the vineyards and St Emillion is a highlight of our trip. The e-bikes were easy to use and made all the difference for us as we navigated up and down the windy roads. Our guide was very good and made the day even more memorable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vincenzo, Vino, Views! - Vincent was a fantastic guide. I learned more about wine than I thought possible. Very informative and the wineries we visited were amazing. Started a little rainy but cleared up. Bikes were great and whatever wine we bought Vincent put in his bike trailer. Great little wine, cheese, meat lunches and we never tasted a bad wine. Vincent is very passionate about his tour and his job. The countryside is incredible along with history and the tour around the center of St. Emilion was a great walk around a very old and picturesque European village. Definite must do!
