    They won’t refund our money because we could not take our tour because of the riots

    We were looking forward to this tour but the riots prevented our ship from going to Bordeaux but Viator won’t refund our money ! Very bad decision! Do not take any chances by booking with them if they treat their customers this way !

    We had a wonderful tour...

    We had a wonderful tour of beautiful St Emillion! E-bike is a great way to enjoy the countryside. The tour features two very fun wine tastings and a great country lunch. Best of all was our very well informed and supremely nice guide, Vicki!

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed exploring the region by e-bike and that the tastings and lunch added to your day. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Vicki. We hope to see you again soon! Sincerely, A la Française Team

    Was great experience but needs a few tweaks

    We had this full day electric bike tour in the St Emilion Wine Region on what was beautiful day . There was confusion on the exact pick up point as the address number provided did not exist apart from the streets . Having been up the day before to try and find the meeting point as we were a party of four it was only after I Wattsapp the company that they sent a screen shot of the monument where the pick up was , that made it very easy . The other 4 people on the tour had the same problem Having done a similar tour a few years back we learnt so much more and had visits to 3 wineries this one was not as good . Only one visit to a winery on this one . Lunch was great but too long and we were only allowed two glasses of wine each and when asked for another glass was told no more Jade was a great tour guide and easy to communicate with , we enjoyed the tour of St Emilion township . If you sat in the back of the van the 6 people were comfortable but if you were the two in front the middle seat was cramped particularly on an hour drive back Overall we enjoyed it but didn't really think it was value for money

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the day, and we’re sorry some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments about the meeting point, wine service, and vehicle comfort are very helpful, and we’ll take them into consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience in the future. Sincerely, A la Française Team

    Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.

    How much does Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux cost?

    +

    Prices start at $216 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 Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 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 Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 394 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux?

    +

    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 Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux?

    +

    Around 138 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux 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 Saint-Emilion E-Bike Wine Tour & chateau Lunch from Bordeaux?

Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
