everything home. So so great!

Quick answers
Where will we meet our licensed tour guide?
Your guide will meet you directly at your hotel or accommodation in the heart of Saint Emilion village (not in the surrounding areas, outside the village center).

The end of your guided walking tour in Saint Emilion will take place in the village.
Is your Saint Emilion Walking Tour adapted to everyone?

Therefore we strongly advise that you book this tour only if you are in a good physical condition. This tour is certainly not adapted to persons who have walking difficulties and it is not wheelchair accessible. You will also need to wear comfortable walking shoes.
Is the price per person or per group?
The pricing for our walking tours is per group of minimum 2 persons to maximum 15 persons.
Can we adapt the tour to fit our wishes?
Aboslutely, since this is a private tour we will customize the walking tour to your wishes. Let our team of travel professionals know what are your main points of interest and they will designe the tour accordingly. We have already made it possible for you to include an optional wine tasting session in the village as well as the entrance tickets to the underground monumnets if you would like to include any of these on your private tour.
