Our guide Jade was very...
Our guide Jade was very knowledgable, and was adaptable to give us some free time in St Emillion which is well worth visiting. The tour around Chateau Dauphine was very informative and fascinating and the wines were great. Lunch at the next chateau was delicious. Definitely recommend

Nice experience overall....
Nice experience overall. But there was not a real lunch, just cheese, bread and pâté. And the guide was not with us at lunch.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. Our lunch is designed as a traditional French spread, including charcuterie, cheeses, bread, various tapenades, tomatoes, olives, cornichons, salad and desserts. We’re sorry if this was not as expected. We also understand that the guide was not present during this part of the experience, and understand that it was disappointing. We are glad you still enjoyed the overall experience. Thank you for visiting the region with us. Sincerely, A la Française Team

Very Good
Fabien is a great guide, very knowlegable and enthustiastic. The tour of St Emilion was very good. I have done a previous tour from Bordeaux where St Emilion was free time, but it was much better to get an actual tour. We had a great shared lunch at a chateau with hame, cheese etc. Recommended
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed your day with Fabien. It's great to know that the guided tour of Saint-Émilion gave you a deeper experience of the village, and that you enjoyed lunch at the château. Thank you for your recommendation, we hope to welcome you back soon! Sincerely, A la Française

Quick, casual wine tour
We loved our Guide, Mel! She was very friendly & fun. Beautiful wineries & town. I would suggest a more specific meeting, like look for lady in hat by the fountain side of the monument.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your day with Mel and loved the wineries and the town. We also appreciate your helpful suggestion about making the meeting point more specific. We'll certainly take this into consideration to make it even easier for future guests. We hope to welcome you again on another wine adventure! Sincerely, A la Française Team

Beautiful Chateaux’s
The chateaus are gorgeous…”tour” is not an appropriate description. Our tour guide was more of just a chauffeur. The wine was mid, but the atmosphere was stunning.
Response from the operator: Dear Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful château settings and the atmosphere of the day. Our guides aim to make the journey between stops just as enriching as the visits themselves, sharing stories about the region, its history, wine culture, and local heritage, while answering questions along the way. We're sorry if this wasn't fully reflected in your experience, but we appreciate your comments and are grateful that you joined us. Sincerely, A la Française Team

Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village cost?
+
Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bordeaux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; 5/6 wines tasted ( 2/3 wines tasted per chateau); Guided winery tours; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pick up and drop off; and French language. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village?
+

What languages is Full Day Tour Saint Emilion with lunch two Chateaux and Village offered in?
+
