Olivier was very knowledgeable about the area. The towns we visited were very interesting and he gave us lots of information. The countryside was just lovely. Olivier grew up in the region and had worked in the vineyards. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer. He took us to the vineyard where we learned about gamay grapes, tasted them right off the vine, and then did wine tastings with more grapes, cheese and crackers. He also took us to a local restaurant for lunch. Though he had lots to share, he could tell when we were tired at the end of the day and we drove home in pleasant silence. We highly recommend this tour.
