Summary: Oliver was a fantastic guide and a safe driver! We visited the 2 villages that were on my list- Perouges and Oingt. He was very informative about the history of the area, the villages and the wines and very pleasant! We had white wine tasting before lunch and red when we visited the vineyard after lunch. The restaurant he reserved for us in quaint Oingt was very good! Highly recommend this tour and company!

Summary: My wife and I went on the group tour of Beaujolais and Perouges with Olivier on a trip to France for our 20th anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. The views and wines were excellent. Olivier has been working with the one vineyard for 20 years. Brought home many memories and pictures, and also a few bottles of wine. Perouges was like taking a step back in time and has a great atmosphere. Olivier was very friendly and was always pointing out good photo opportunities and offering to take photos on the tour.

Summary: I want to let all know that working with this company was a fantastic experience even though we couldn’t make our private, non refundable Burgundy trip. A health situation happened the day before the tour. We know it wasn’t refundable and called to let them know to please not to pick us up. The owner was so understanding and offered several options. He didn’t have to do so. This is the kind of business that we should all be supporting. If thinking of taking a trip to Burgundy from Lyon, book thru them! You know they are great when they react the way they did. We can’t wait to use them in the near future!
