3 tours and 3 great experiences with Kanpai tours - Let me just say that this is by far the best tour guide in Lyon. My wife and I did 3 tours with Olivier and he was phenomenal. Go directly to his website and pick the tour that you want or just contact him for a private tour. He's very flexible and easy going.

Enjoyable medieval towns and wine tasting - My husband and I did the Beaujolais and Perouges small group day tour with visits to the beautiful the Villagesof Perouges and Oingt and wine tasting in Beaujolais. The weather wasn’t good but our guide Sebastian was fantastic. He has great local and wine knowledge , easy to talk to and humorous. We had lunch at a local restaurant and had a local home cook lunch at a decent price. Our group get along well which makes the day really enjoyable. Thanks Sebastian!

Just do it!!! - This was an awesome day - the gorgeous villages visited, the lovely wine tastings, gorgeous scenery and also the great explanations and very lovely manner of Oliver. Oliver is very professional and full of local knowledge and also very patient and thoughtful! He is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had - he is down to earth and great to talk to. He made sure we could visit toilette’s everywhere which was great! The restaurant for lunch was a lovely experience and very delicious! Great tasting and also very reasonably priced. The other guests were great company and it was an all round lovely day!! (and of course Beaujolais wine is delicious!!) Highly recommended!!

A delightful day - We really enjoyed our day on this tour. It was a treat to ride through the beautiful countryside. Olivier gave us a wealth of information about the history and wine of the region. The visit to the winery was relaxed and pleasant with information about production, nice wines and the opportunity to see how sausages and cheeses complimented their flavors. The lunch stop was delicious and very reasonably priced. The villages we stopped at were lovely, "picture postcard" beautiful.

Fabulous host, beautiful villages, lovely wine - This was an amazing day from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Justine, was absolutely fabulous. We fell in love with Pérouges, and the galette we tried there. We then drove though the beautiful country side for a wine tasting, which featured 4 wines, before stopping for lunch. We all enjoyed our lunch, and then our visit to Oingt. After exploring this village, we stopped at a family winery for our second tasting of the day. We got to see the vinyard before tasing the various wines. Justine was with us every step of the way and gave excellent explanations. She was the best guide we had on our vacation. I certainly would recommend her to any traveller.

A must do when in Lyon - Olivier was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, spoke both French and English for all participants and he truly loves the region and the producers, vintners, restaurant owners and it shows. The sites and country side were beautiful, the wine delicious, the food was top notch. My wife and I took a few tours during our time in France and his was by far the best. Cheers

Highlight of trip - Olivier is a phenomenal guide. We did a private tour with him to the Beaujolais Region and Perouges. He made stops in Charnay, Chessy les Mines, Bagnols, Oignt and Perouges. We had a fabulous tour of a lovely vineyard, Domaine de fond-Vielle, where the owner spoke of the history of the vineyard and hosted an amazing tasting. I'd highly recommend a tour with Olivier; he shares so many interesting points about the area and never rushes his clients. He allows you to explore and experience each of the areas. We enjoyed an outstanding day with him.

Wonderful, small group wine tours - My wife and I took three full-day wine tours with Olivier in September. Each was wonderfully unique and perfectly led by Olivier. His knowledge of the different appellations and his relationships with various producers made for highly informative tours and great fun. He also arranged for lunch stops at some terrific restaurants. Olivier: Ian and Leila say hi from Southern California 😎
