5.00If you’re in Bordeaux, do yourself a favor and explore the wine region with Olala Tours. We had the pleasure of being guided by Emmanuelle, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and passionate about Bordeaux wines. She took the time to explain the nuances of the region’s appellations and the rigorous standards that maintain the quality and prestige of Bordeaux wines. Our day began with a visit to the village of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and charm. From there, we toured three châteaux: one in the Pomerol appellation and two in the Margaux appellation. Each stop offered something unique, and between Emmanuelle’s insights and the expertise of the château guides, we came away with a much deeper appreciation for the wines and the region. If you're short on time in Bordeaux but want a rich and immersive experience, this tour is the perfect way to see a variety of wine regions and learn a ton in just one day. Highly recommend!
Absolutely wonderful day....

5.00Absolutely wonderful! Xavier was a truly kind and knowledgeable guide. We could not have asked for a better experience. The wines and chateau wineries were exquisite, but he was even better. There were seven participants and all were very cordial. 5*Request Xavier if he is available!

3.00Driver left us at a venue did not tell us she was leaving. Returned about 20 minutes after our tour concluded. Did not know very much about the areas, or if she did she didnt tell us,only talked to us before our first stop in St. Emellion. Chateau Margeaux was a bust we could only take photos through a large gate. Construction was going on in all the areas. We were not even told where we could buy Chateau Margeaux wine. All she said was they are now owned by a private person and they still make wine. Our 1st and 3 rd wines were good the 2nd wines the wine was not drinkable for the whole group. There was a problem with the van not working properly. The tour could have been great if we would have had a better tour guide.
Come and see!
