We spent an exceptional day in Saint-Émilion thanks to Taste and Travel! Everything was perfectly organized: the visit to the underground monuments was fascinating, rich in history and very well explained, and the tasting of the Grand Crus was a real moment of pleasure and discovery. Our guide was passionate, professional and very attentive — he captivated the whole family (even the children!) while sharing his love for the region and its heritage. An unforgettable experience that allowed us to see Saint-Émilion in a new light and to fall even more in love with South-West France I recommend Taste and Travel with your eyes closed to all those who want to live an authentic, cultural and gourmet experience!
Wonderful Saint Emilion day with superb driver/guide!

Paul was a great driver and shared lots of knowledge about the region and he knew about many of the Chateaus in the area as he is a very experienced driver. He showed us local sites and our day was very full in the saint emilion region! He was punctual, friendly and would highly recommend him to friends to use!

We were delighted with our trip with such wonderful guides as Roman and Alesya!!! We fell in love with Bordeaux and its region with all our hearts! Roman and Alesya responded very sensitively to all our wishes, planning our route so that we could fully appreciate the merits of these places and get maximum pleasure from the tour! Professionalism, erudition, good manners, tact, knowledge of the subject within our tour and not only everything was on top! Thank you and we really want to come back next time!
Best vacation!

Wow! Wow! Wow! We had a fabulous time with Roman who was our guide to experience the finer tastes of the French cuisine, wine and the beauty of the countryside. In addition to Saint-Emilion, we took several other tours with Roman and we were able to appreciate the culture through his expert relationships he’d curated with the restaurant owners, chefs and vintners. Each meal was thoughtfully paired with wine. As equally as impressive as the food was Roman’s knowledge of the history of Bordeaux and many villages and castles we’d visited. His enthusiasm and passion made for an unmatched travel experience! In summary, this was a small, intimate experience of French culture that provided a nice break from the more cliche tourist experiences, and Roman was as genuine and accommodating as one could hope for. I just wish we had more time to experience other parts of France with him. We highly recommend this tour.
Great scenery.
