“We were a little disappointed at first that the rain made biking in St Emilion impossible. Yev our guide was so positive and brought his knowledge and tireless energy to our day of touring that we focused on all the things we could experience rather than not being able to bike. We began walking the cobblestone streets and hearing historical tidbits and appreciating the beautiful architecture. We visited 2 chateaus, tasted delicious wines and even visited an ancient cave. Our last activity was visiting a wine merchant for more tastings. We had the best day ever and highly recommend this tour, our guide Yev and Rustic Vines!!!!”
