We were supposed to have a tour to Beaune, and because we were 3 we got huge chances to got it cancelled. But, they offered us instead an excursion to côte de nuits... it was better than expected! Emmanuel was a super guide! He explained us everything about the wine making process, took us to 2 places for wine tasting and to the vineyards... I just know how to better enjoy wine thanks to him. This excursion made our experience at Dijon unforgettable even in Corona times! Def if I come back I will go for another excursion with them :)

We were on a riverboat excursion and were taken to Strassbourg, so this canal ride was included. We enjoyed going around this absolutely lovely little town. It is so charming! You can see really well as the boat has glass roof. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day so you could see all the darling hpuses with their flowerboxes under all the windows..so pretty. I highly recommend not only the boat tour but coming to this town. It was one of my favorites on the whole trip.

We were staying in a vacation rental north of Lyon while attending the Women’s World Cup and had initially wanted to take a Beaujolais Wine Tour on one of the off-days. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a tour or private tour guide that wasn’t already booked. As a result, we moved further North and started looking at Burgundy wine tours. Luckily by-chance, we booked The Wines of Burgundy Day Tour with Pieter Smits. We had a wonderful tour with Pieter as we visited several villages, chateaus, and wineries. Not only were we able to sample some fine wines but Pieter also selected a restaurant where we had a great lunch. Pieter is very engaging and knowledgeable which helped make the tour very enjoyable. It's an experience I will always remember.

My wife and I, our two adult children and their partners met Olivier at our rental apartment in Lyon for a full day in the northern Rhone Valley. We visited three outstanding wineries and tasted a variety of wines, including some delicious Cornas and an unusual white Chateau-neuf du Pape. We met with the winemakers in each case and learned about the history of the wineries. Olivier gave us a lot of history of the region. Two of the three wineries were able to ship purchases to the US. One referred me to their US importer. All do carry-out purchases, of course, so our apartment is stocked. We made a lunch stop at a very nice restaurant on the Rhone. We started at 9am (earlier than normal, as crowds were large due to Women's World Cup games in Lyon). We were back by 6pm. None of the wineries we visited were crowded; there were a couple of other small groups at two of them, but we still had a very nice private tour experience. We were the only people at the third. Olivier's English is great. He was able to accommodate our largeish group with no trouble. He knows the region and has studied wines and the industry. He was born and grew up in Lyon, so has lots of good advice for the city and surrounding activities. He is flexible and can tune the itinerary to suit the customer. Highly recommended!

We booked a tour for three of us, including our 20-year old son. Patrick was a great tour guide & lunch host. He was amazingly informative and answered all of our numerous questions. The visits Burgundy Discovery created for us at the domaines were informative and varied and the experiences gave us an entry-level understanding of the vinification process and the AOC system. The serendipity was amazing. (As we drove by Patrick said, "this is a famous climat called La Tache.") It's amazing how these seemingly innocuous plots of land produce these amazing wines. "Oh, there's Romanee Conti!" Highly recommended for all.

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers
