Nice day at St Emillion - We visited two Grand Cru Classe wineries, one offered tasty wines with lunch. A relaxing afternoon at St Emillion old town and we were given ample time to walk around. A nice day to explore this UNSECO town.

The guide at the second Chateaux made the day for us with his generous spirit and hospitality. Tres bien!</p>

We met some lovely people and loved the town of St. Emelion. It was so relaxing not worrying about having to drive or decide which winery to visit. The tour guides were great. I highly recommend this trip!</p>

This was a great tour. We started... - <p>This was a great tour. We started promptly at the time stated! Our tour guide, Laurence Pontallier was great! Very informative, funny and kind. She also kept us on our toes so we would not fall behind with the time. The winery's we visited were very informative. The second winery where we had a male guide was very funny and kept our attention! The food here was also great! Although this was a wine tour I found the old village of St Emillion the most interesting! We went down to the underground church and climbed the bell tower!! Went shopping in this town too!</p>

The guide was somewhat informative, but mainly the information came from the folks running the vineyards. Once we were in St. Emilion the guide was quite knowledgeable about the subterranean monuments relative to the Christian worshippers and St..Emilion.<br/> A little pricey, but considering the lovely lunch with very good wines, probably worth it as you could not really drive to these places easily on your own.</p>

Language Barrier - Chateaux personnel were informative. Choice of venues contrasted modern winemaking techniques with older traditional techniques. Exclusive access to Historical St. Emillon which itself has become quite touristy. Very disappointing tour guide. Our tour consisted of 7/8 English speaking guests and 1/8 French speakers (whom were bilingual) but the guide spoke mainly French throughout the trip with short cursory explanations of what she had spoken.

Disappointing - Sold as small group and English the group size was more than 15 and in 2 languages meaning we were staning on our feet twice as long. At least twice we just stood in same place for over 1.2 hrs. My feet were aching and this left less free time to explore. The winery lunch was tasty.
