Great wine tour - Great drive to see outside of the city and taste some great wine. The tour guide was knowledgeable and gave some great information about the culture and wine making process in the area. Highly recommend if you want to see some country side.

Great value way to get intro to Beaujolais! - Excellent value trip. Learned so much about the Beaujolais area and visited some gorgeous locations. 7 tastings across 3 stops, with cheese and chacuterie. Driver/guide was careful and attentive. English good. Only recommendation would be an in-van Bluetooth sound system with guide mic and speakers - the noise from the van's fan/Aircon made it impossible to hear from the back row

Top wine tour. - An excellent half day tour from central Lyon. Tried and trusted route which works really well. Our guide Clements was excellent with good English, good wine knowledge and good historical knowledge. Nice choice of winery and nice half hour in an old village. Overall very enjoyable. Well done.

Wineries of Beaujolais Tour - Rachel (our guide) was excellent, knowledgeable and shared all items of interest enthusiastically. The highlight of the tour was the winery visit. We sampled circa 8 wines accompanied by pastries and charcuterie, unexpectedly generous sampling portions.

Great half day in the scenic Beaujolais wine region. - Such an enjoyable tour. Our guides Rachel and Yann were very well informed and entertaining. On our way we visited the small village of Oingt which was very charming and really off the beaten path the winery was in full operation and the wines were delicious. I know much more about French wines and the Beaujolais region

It was fine. - While our guides were lovely , kind and accommodating, there were aspects of the tour that were average. Several improvement opportunities: 1. The trip advisor site says a maximum of 8 people, but our tour was more than 8, It was 8 per van and 2 vans. So at the tasting with the local producer, inside her tasting room, she wasn’t prepared for 16 people. As we all tried to squeeze around the table. Wine was fabulous!!! Still lovely. 2. If you take this tour, don’t sit in the third back row, it is hot and the AC is ineffective… the middle seat has no view. This matters because the first wine tasting is 45/50 minute drive. During that drive, there is some education from the driver about the area, but it is challenging to hear from the back of the van, and, more commentary would make the trip seem shorter. 3. We visited the most lovely medieval village, adorable however , it was completely empty and closed since it was Sunday. So once we had a short walk through, we got back in the van and left. Hmmmm. Despite this, we had a fun time, met interesting people, and it added to our memories of Lyon. 4. 3.
