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.

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.

The tour was great. Leticia, our guide was very knowledgeable and so very nice, as well as the guides inside the vineyard. Great experience!

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.

Tom

Highly knowledgeable tour guide. Second winery tasting was outstanding Good I try to the Medoc region Highly recommend

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!

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.

SERGIO_E

The guide was really nice and his comments were very interesting, also the second chateau we visited. However the first one was really disappointing

Sally_M

Lovely tour of 2 chateaux and tastings. Tours of the chateaux were interesting and really informative. Wines were very nice and great to help us understand more about the Margeaux and Haute-Medoc wines.

Sheena L

We really enjoyed the half day tour to Margaux. Vincent was very engaging and knowledgable. The grapes were being harvested, the weather was glorious, the chateaux beautiful. Loved being able to taste each grape variety on the vine. They were short staffed at the first vineyard we visited but the lady who showed us round more than made up for the little bit of waiting around. The two vineyards were very different and the contrast was really interesting. Well thought out. Learned loads, enjoyed it all. Highly recommended.
