Saint-Emilion Sidecar: Exclusive Wine & Châteaux Ride

amazing experiance, the guides were great. 4 of us enjoyed the sidecars through the winerys and towns. must do!

My husband and I had an amazing time doing the 1/2 day sidecar tour to St.Emilion. Our guide was so kind and fun and really added to this incredible experience. The countryside views, the guided tour through St. Emilion and the wine tasting were all wonderful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to experience Bordeaux and surrounding areas.

So much fun! Alex was delightful! It was such an great way to see the countryside and winery. We were so fortunate to see the grape harvest. Good wine and a beautiful day.

This is THE way to go for people who are short on time but still want a great, personalized, memorable experience. I only had a couple of hours but felt like I did a lot. Alex was the best guide: attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive of going on a country-roads tour alone with an unknown person but felt extremely comfortable the entire time. With this tour, you get to drive through the fields, take side, scenic roads, stop for pictures wherever you want and feel catered to. The chateau we stopped at was also excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was well worth the hour spent there. A couple of notes to keep in mind: 1) the tour is for two guests. I was traveling alone so had to book 2x the amount. 2) Don’t forget sunglasses to protect your eyes from the wind. I forgot mind (but luckily Alex was ready with a spare pair. He seemed to always have a plan B if I needed. Highly recommend

Recently did the St. Emilion tour in a side-car with Retro Tour in Bordeaux. We were two couples traveling via a cruise ship. Our pilots Alex and Emmanuel picked us up promptly at the ship. Admittedly, as we are older couples, we had some reluctance with one of us riding on the back of the motorcyle. But I have to say, all took turns on the back and we had a blast! Our pilots were wonderful always checking to make sure we were safe and comfortable. They are great, experienced drivers. We toured St. Emilion, visited a winery for a tasting and toured on the bikes through a vineyard. I highly recommend this tour. All of us agree that this was one of the highlights of our trip. Try it - you will not be disappointed!

What an afternoon! Had a very special 4.5hrs with Alex and Emmanuel who were super friendly, informative and spoke perfect English. The bikes and sidecars look great and were a lot of fun, whilst the trip out to Saint Emilion afforded us wonderful views of the countryside and incorporated a wine tour at Couvent des where we got to sample some delightful wines.

Great experience! Beautiful town, stunning scenery. The ride was a lot of fun and Alex was a great driver/guide. Best part was driving through the fields, among the grape plants! Also, the chateaus we visited were beautiful, and the wine was great!

We had a great half day wine tour in the side car, lots of fun and a great way to see the wine region in St Emilion , Our guide Lucia was so informative and a lot of fun , would recommend this tour if in Bordeaux

My friend and I signed up for this tour to Saint-Emilion and it was a spectacular experience! Saint Emilion is beautiful and scenic and what a way to experience it in a sidecar. It is truly unique. Alexandre, our guide was wonderful. He was knowledgable about the sites we visited. We also really enjoyed the winery we visited. Couple of recommendations: Dress in warm clothes - it can get quite chilly on the speedways. Be sure to wear big sunglasses to shield your face...or a scarf to fend off the bugs :)

This alternative mode of transport to explore St Emilion was fantastic, it certainly felt like a once in a lifetime trip as I'm not sure I'll ever have the chance to travel in a side car again. Driving through the French countryside was beautiful, the tour around St Emilion old town was lovely, and our wine tour at one of the local Chateau's was so good I bought a case of wine to ship from to the US! Really well thought out excursion
