Additional information
Please make sure your boat is docking in Bordeaux City center and not in Le Verdon or La Rochelle. These two ports are located more than 2 hours drive from Bordeaux. If you mistakenly booked a tour and your Cruise ship is not in Bordeaux city center, please note that there will be no refund possible.
If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.
This tour is best for cruise guests who love wine, history, and gentle sightseeing, and who want a relaxed but in‑depth introduction to Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru wines and its UNESCO medieval village. It especially suits couples, small adult groups, and seniors/retirees looking for comfortable transport, a moderate walking pace on cobblestones, and a fully organized day ashore without the crowds and rush of large coach excursions.
Voucher info
All Bordeaux shore excursions and meeting points are based in the town of Bordeaux, not Le Verdon-sur-Mer or La Rochelle. To avoid missed tours and non-refundable costs, please double-check your arrival port before booking. If you have any questions, contact us for assistance.
Group information
We can handle any group size (from 8 people) ranging from small groups to larger groups. Transportation options include private vehicles, mini-vans, mini-buses and large buses.
