Worth it! Try it ! - Valentine our guide, is a sophisticated young man, full of knowledge, personal experience and passionate of french wine and particular the bordeaux wine. He was accompanying us during our tour with questions to us so that he would know our taste in wine and started discussions which offer a depth in our understanding of the French wine and its regions. The winerys- chateaux that we visited in the left bank, met our expectations.

An experience to last a lifetime. - Excellent experience. Personal tours at beautiful chateaus with winery staff who are knowledgeable and pleasant. Guides who understand thousand year history of the region and willing to teach about wine making at a granular level.

Fantastic for all levels of interest in wine - Laetitia is a fantastic tour guide with very deep knowledge in wine as well as the history of Bordeaux. Our visit at Chateau Siran and Chateau Boyd-Cantenac was very informative and interesting. The group of 4 was greeted by the oenologist of Boyd-Cantenac and he offered a wealth of technical information about cultivation, chemistry and wine making. He even offered the unblended samples of the wine-in-making for the current vintage, a Margaux AOC wine from 1995 and other wines. The visits were fantastic even in the pouring rain, and Laetitia even recommended many greats bistros, restaurants as well as wine shops in Bordeaux at the end.

Fantastic Tour - We started our tour from the centre of Bordeaux, about a 5 minute walk from the Quinconces tram stop. Our tour guide, Catherine, picked us up in an air conditioned van. There were eight of us, plus her. We first visited Château Margaux and were lucky to see the grapes being harvested, truly a bucket list item. We then visited Château Siran and Château Marquis de Terme for tours and tastings at each. We were then dropped off at a location of our choosing (we were staying near the Place Paul Doumer tram stop, not terribly out of the way). We would absolutely recommend this tour!

Amazing trip to Margaux!! - Great visit to Margaux. Olala tours is the best! I took a half-day tour to St. Emilion with another tour operator and it was so disappointing. Olala was an incomparable experience. Estelle our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Chateau(s) were beautiful & we tasted delicious wines. Everyone working at Olala (store) were friendly, kind & professional.

Very informative tour - Very informative tour if 2 wineries. Special treat was one winery was having a harvest ongoing while we where there. Our guide was informative but a little too stereotypical aloof in some instances.
