Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon

Afternoon fun with beautiful vineyards, wine tasting & learning!

My mom, sister, niece & me went on the small group afternoon tour to Beaujolais with Sebastien. From the first introduction with Sebastien, to the very end of the tour, he was extremely welcoming, full of information, personality and so much fun. We learned a ton about the Beaujolais wine region and got to taste a lot of delicious wine, from his family’s vineyard to another vineyard in the area. Loved the small group. It was us 4 ppl plus 3 others. Highly recommend this tour! Merci beaucoup for a great time!

Guided tour of Annecy + Fondue cruise on the lake from Lyon

Gorgeous Mountain Town & Lake in the French Alps, not cheap,

This was a wonderful experience. It was essentially 2 tours with 2 long transports. The drive from Lyon was excellent as the driver, Didier, was great to speak with and an added bonus to the trip as I expect nothing from a driver but to arrive in one piece on time. We met Theo at the pick up spot in Annecy for the tour of the town. He was a few minutes late but more than made up for it with detailed information about the town of Annecy, the history and the surrounding area. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable guide who provided a great tour. Theo is from the area and was a history major in college so his depth of understanding was fabulous and appreciated. The second part of the tour was a fondue dining experience on a boat that motored a few miles away from the town of Annecy and anchored in a calm area to make fondue with a choice of red or white wine or soft drinks and veggies. The views are stunning. I mean really stunning. The day was crystal clear. We were essentially viewing the most amazing views of the French Alps one could imagine. All this while munching on fondue. Our guide, Jeremy, did a great job at showing us the various settlements on the shore and did a pretty good job with the fondue but it took longer than expected to reduce the wine. Ahh, the problems of taking five extra minutes to prep the fondue. We were happily sunburned and the weather was initially hot, then chilly with wind, then warm. Twas lovely. Bring an extra garment. After the boat ride, we had about an hour to explore Annecy on our own before getting a ride back to Lyon. The return ride was uneventful. This was a 5 star experience. The Alps are breathtaking and Annecy is a gem. It's probably the prettiest town I've ever been in. The streets and canals are clean and inviting. The mountains will take your breath away. Here's how things could have been better. 1. The bathrooms. (I'd use all caps but that's rude.) Please! Please! Please! Any tour guides or people that run tours should be more than aware of the need for bathrooms, especially amongst those of a certain age. If you can't find a toilet, the tour becomes all about finding a toilet. This was an issue and will always be an issue unless fixed. 2. The price. Wow! 3$K for the misses and I? I understand that tour guides and drivers need to be paid. I also understand that the coordinators need to be paid for a very, very tough job. I also understand that hiring a boat pilot, even for a small boat, is expensive and that boats are expensive to maintain. Still. I think the price was very high. $2K or $2.5K max for the both of us would have more in line with other tours I've done and still have been pricey. Mind you, I wasn't looking for a deal.

Beaujolais Region Wine Tasting Private Day Tour from Lyon

Wonderful Day in Beaujolais!

Olivier was amazing! This was one of the best tours we’ve taken in multiple countries. His passion for wine and the region were clear and present. He was attentive, funny, and wonderful. He planned the day well; every winery had a purpose - whether it was unique, biodiverse, a different appellation, etc. The whole day was absolutely lovely and we can’t thank him enough! Highly recommend and would book again.
