Discovery of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol Chateaux
A day trip dedicated to the vineyards is essential when visiting Bordeaux. This excursion focuses on the right bank of the Garonne, visiting the prestigious chateaux in areas like Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. We manage the transport between the estates, allowing your group to fully enjoy the wine tasting experiences without worrying about driving. The contrast between the ancient village of Saint-Emilion and the contemporary wine-making facilities makes for a truly memorable day out.
The Chateaux of Médoc: Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien
Alternatively, explore the left bank of the Garonne, famous for the classic Médoc classification. Your coach and driver will take your group along the Route des Chateaux to famous appellations such as Pauillac, Margaux, and Saint-Julien Beychevelle. A common stop on this tour is at the renowned Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Martillac, combining historic surroundings with modern luxury. When planning these excursions, we leverage our professional knowledge to advise on realistic travel times, especially during busy seasons, ensuring your schedule is achievable and relaxed.
Le Corbusier Architecture in Pessac
For groups interested in modern history and architecture, a day trip to Pessac to explore the revolutionary Cité Frugès, designed by the iconic architect Le Corbusier, is a fascinating option. This excursion provides a change of pace from the wine routes and showcases a completely different side of the region’s cultural heritage, with easy, professional transport arranged for your group.
Arranging your group transport in Bordeaux is a straightforward, secure, and transparent process, handled personally by Coralie or Arnaud.

1. What happens if our flight into Bordeaux Airport (BOD) is delayed?
We are fully accustomed to managing flight delays. We monitor your flight's status, and the driver will adapt their schedule. For minor delays, the driver simply waits. For significant changes, we coordinate a change of drivers if necessary, ensuring your group is never left stranded and the communication remains clear.
2. Will the coach driver know the best way to get to the wine chateaux?
Yes. We primarily work with local drivers who are regional specialists and are very familiar with the roads, access points, and specific parking requirements for the renowned chateaux in areas like Saint-Emilion and the Médoc. The full itinerary is provided to them in advance so they can study the route and confirm details with our operations team.
3. Will the coach arrive on time for our hotel pickup in Bordeaux?
Our drivers are highly focused on punctuality. They aim to arrive at the agreed meeting point on time, or even early, to allow ample time for loading luggage and departing precisely at the scheduled time. Should any rare traffic issue delay the driver, they will inform us immediately, and we will contact your group leader with an update to reassure you.
4. How do you determine the correct coach size for my group?
When you request a quote, we ask for your group size and an estimate of your luggage. Based on this, Coralie or Arnaud will propose a vehicle (minibus, mid-size coach, or full-size touring coach) from our local partners that is perfectly sized to ensure comfort for all passengers and enough capacity for all luggage.
5. How far in advance should I book coach hire for my Bordeaux wine tour?
For popular peak seasons (April, May, June, September, October) and major destinations like the Bordeaux region, we strongly recommend booking your coach hire as far in advance as possible, ideally three to six months ahead. This ensures the best availability and pricing, particularly for larger coaches.
