Discover Beaujolais
Leeniepop, Dec 2024
Wonderful day long tour. Cannot say enough about our extremely knowledgeable, professional and delightful tour guide, Olivier. We visited multiple wineries, had a delicious lunch and visited the medieval town of Perouges.
We would highly recommend this tour.
Just do it!!!

This was an awesome day - the gorgeous villages visited, the lovely wine tastings, gorgeous scenery and also the great explanations and very lovely manner of Oliver. Oliver is very professional and full of local knowledge and also very patient and thoughtful! He is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had - he is down to earth and great to talk to. He made sure we could visit toilette’s everywhere which was great! The restaurant for lunch was a lovely experience and very delicious! Great tasting and also very reasonably priced. The other guests were great company and it was an all round lovely day!! (and of course Beaujolais wine is delicious!!) Highly recommended!!

Thank you very much for the review. I am so happy that you liked very much the Beaujolais & Perouges tour I gave you. Merci beaucoup. My best regards from Lyon, Olivier
A delightful day
Ann W, Dec 2024
We really enjoyed our day on this tour. It was a treat to ride through the beautiful countryside. Olivier gave us a wealth of information about the history and wine of the region. The visit to the winery was relaxed and pleasant with information about production, nice wines and the opportunity to see how sausages and cheeses complimented their flavors. The lunch stop was delicious and very reasonably priced. The villages we stopped at were lovely, "picture postcard" beautiful.
Fabulous host, beautiful villages, lovely wine

This was an amazing day from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Justine, was absolutely fabulous. We fell in love with Pérouges, and the galette we tried there. We then drove though the beautiful country side for a wine tasting, which featured 4 wines, before stopping for lunch. We all enjoyed our lunch, and then our visit to Oingt. After exploring this village, we stopped at a family winery for our second tasting of the day. We got to see the vinyard before tasing the various wines. Justine was with us every step of the way and gave excellent explanations. She was the best guide we had on our vacation. I certainly would recommend her to any traveller.
A must do when in Lyon

Olivier was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, spoke both French and English for all participants and he truly loves the region and the producers, vintners, restaurant owners and it shows. The sites and country side were beautiful, the wine delicious, the food was top notch. My wife and I took a few tours during our time in France and his was by far the best. Cheers
