Absolute best day ever!! - Rick and Thomas were both amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had the most perfect of days! The vintage land rovers were so much fun. The lunch location and food that was prepared by Rick and Thomas was amazing The wineries they chose for us to visit were also great choices. Highly recommend this tour group to everyone! We also used Insiders to get to the train station on our last day. Rick showed up at 6:00am with 3 cars and men to assist our Group. They made sure we were in the correct location, escorted up the elevators and made sure we knew where to go once our gate was announced!! We spent 2 weeks in France and took many day trips and this one is far above any of the others. Great fun.

A day out of time! - A perfectly organized day, tailor-made for 2, with attention to detail that really made the difference. Amélie, our guide, was exceptional: passionate, warm and full of captivating stories about the region and the terroir. Each stop was unique — the visit to the castle, the wine tastings, the meeting with the beekeeper (very rewarding moment!) — everything was both authentic and exciting. Lunch in the heart of nature was a real favorite, in a beautiful setting, and all embellished with a 2CV ride! This retro, atypical and romantic side brought an extra touch of charm to the day. A huge thank you for this unforgettable experience. I recommend closed eyes to all those looking for an off the beaten track getaway, personalized and full of discoveries!

An absolute MUST-DO! - We had the absolute pleasure of having Aldric as our guide through Beaujolais, Burgundy, and Macon—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Aldric’s passion for the region, deep knowledge of wine and history, and warm, engaging personality made this trip unforgettable. He curated a perfect balance of well-known vineyards and hidden gems, each with its own unique charm and story. His explanations were thoughtful and insightful without ever feeling rehearsed or rushed, and he tailored the experience beautifully to our interests. Whether we were walking through centuries-old cellars or sipping wine, Aldric brought each moment to life with genuine enthusiasm and care. Beyond his expertise, Aldric was simply a joy to be around—friendly, professional, and always making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. He truly elevated our time in France, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to explore the region. Thank you, Aldric, for an extraordinary journey we’ll always remember!

Amazing off the beaten path vineyards and sites - We spent two fantastic days touring Beaujolais and Burgundy with the amazing Amelie. We discovered so many sites and vineyards we wouldn’t have found on our own. Also, they make buying/shipping wine to the U.S. very simple. Highly recommend!

An experience with the old Land Rover in Beaujolais - We had a private day tour with many tastings and visits of very different wineries. The highlight was the picnic or BBQ in the middle of the vineyard with typical food. Our guide JC or rather Jean Charles was very nice, competent and super flexible. Thanks JC!

Intimate relaxing beaujolais experience - Amelie was amazing! We had the best time! It was tailored to us. We were able to relax and enjoy a truly unique experience with a very friendly and easy to connect with guide! When we visited Nelly she was like a second mom overseas and victor and his dog were wonderful! I’ve been on many country tours and this has been my most favorite!

Great people, great wine and great cars. What else? - This was a blast! Our day with Eric was so special! We felt like we were with a friend and connected on so many levels! The wine and food were “Ohlala” as well as the castles and wineries we visited. One of the highlights of my French holidays! We had already used the same company in Marrakech and had great fun there too! Book this, you won’t regret it!

Best day tour in France!! - Great day out with Eric! His kindness, his level of English and his love for Beaujolais and Burgundy made for a great day! We loved the Land Rover and got much more than what we had asked for. Don't hesitate: book this tour!
