2.Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 696 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $217Top rated

Join Rustic Vines for an 8 to 9-hour small-group day from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion. You’ll ride well-kept e-bikes through vineyard roads, visit two estates, taste local wines, share a French picnic, and walk the UNESCO-listed village. Guides such as Pauline, Maude, Vincent, and Taylor have been praised for making the day both easygoing and informative.

“Very enjoyable cycling around St Emilion and our guide was very knowledgeable about the wines and history of the area. We were picked up from Bordeaux and driven to St Emilion. Along the way, our guide was telling us about the history and wines, and pointing out landmarks. After a safety reminder, we were off from the village into the farmlands. The lunch was a good selection of cheeses, nuts and fruits, and wine. He also took us around the little village for photos and of course visited a wine merchant where we purchased a dozen to be shipped home. I believe they were some Pomerol and Premier Grand Cru.”

4.Essentials 3-Hour Bike Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 412 reviews · 3 hours · from $41Best value

Ride roughly 10 to 15 kilometers across Bordeaux with a French or English-speaking guide such as Loïc. The mostly flat route links Saint-André Cathedral, the Grosse Cloche, Saint-Michel, both sides of the Garonne, Darwin, the Chartrons, Jardin Public, and Palais Gallien. Bikes, helmets, and water are included.

“Our guide was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and was eager to answer any questions we had. It was brilliant value for money as we were on the bikes for around three hours, stopping at major landmarks and for a break in the middle at the bakery at Darwin. I’d not been on a bike for around 15 years so I was worried at first, but the pace was relaxed and the majority of Bordeaux is very flat so there were no steep hills. Would certainly recommend!”
