We had a magnificent day exploring the Médoc with our private driver. Leire was an incredible host and a gracious guide who made the whole experience feel special. A wonderful way to discover the region.

What a wonderful experience! Rene's knowledge of Bordeaux was impressive, and the three wineries we visited were all different and memorable. We felt like we got a genuine introduction to the Bordeaux wine region, especially Médoc. The wines were delicious and showcased the diversity and quality that Bordeaux is known for. The tour was authentic and down-to-earth, not at all pretentious. Rene also recommended a great spot for lunch and made the entire day enjoyable. He is a fantastic guide, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux. Book this tour, you won't be disappointed!, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux.

Valentine was an excellent guide . Friendly and knowledgeable. The Chateaus that were chosen for us were fantastic. Highly recommend this tour .
Our guide Rene, was extremely knowledgeable on the area we were touring. I think the picnic lunch at a Chateau is the way to go for an all day tour. Ours was perfect.
An excellent day in the Médoc. Everything was very well organized by Olala Bordeaux, with a great selection of châteaux and a perfectly paced itinerary. Margot was once again fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, warm, and very engaging. She made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended!
All 3 chateaus and wine experiences were phenomenal! And lunch was amazing! Valentin our driver was exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable and had us laughing!
Had the best time learning about wine with my husband and visiting all the beautiful chateaus in Bordeaux. Thank you Valentin for showing us such a great time!
Special day that brought the whole Bordeaux vineyard experience to life. Wonderfully paced, everyone was friendly and keen to educate / share their knowledge and it was perfectly paced. Valentin was a great tour guide for the whole day.
Margot our guide and driver was knowledgeable, courteous an going out of her way at all times to assist us
excellent arrangement knowledgable guide recommended for all interested to experience the famous wine region
It was a wonderful day in the Medoc region. Our driver Xavier was very knowledgeable about the wines and chateaus. We visited three chateaus and had a fabulous lunch experience at a local restaurant. We even had time to stop at a chocolate factory for a tasting and purchased some treats.
This was a magical day exploring Medoc Chateaux. We were able to choose from a range of Chateaux to visit and a perfect itinerary was put together, including a lovely restaurant for lunch. Our guide, Xavier, was wonderful and so generous in the information he shared and in the extra stops he made along the way to show us something special. We loved the whole experience.
Fantastic day out with Jeremy from Ocala. We chose to do the Gold Option Tour, which visited only classified chateaux, and we arranged to have lunch at our first stop. All three of the wineries we visited were excellent, and there was enough variety that each one felt like a unique experience. We did several other wine tours with other companies, but Olala was far and away the best of the lot. Next time, we'll use them for everything!
Everything from the description, to the booking process, having questions answered, and customizable options made the booking process great. I asked for a knowledgeable wine tour guide (as I've been on tours where I seemed to be teaching them), and was blown away by the expertise and depth of knowledge of our guide, René. Transportation was provided in a comfortable Mercedes van. The chateaux we visited offered a great cross-section of Medoc wines of various styles and quality. Our lunch stop was a PERFECT break at a beautiful hotel (Maison L'Estournal). I cannot say enough good things about René. I recommend asking for him by name.
What a bloody good day! Vincent knew a great deal about Bordeux and was really knowledgeable about the wines and took us to some exceptional spots and some really impressive wineries. Highly recommend doing this tour and Vincent.
Absolutely lovely experience in Bordeaux. Tour guide was great, personable and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Wow! What a way to get to know the region! When they say private tour, they mean it. It felt like the chateaus we went to were opened only for us and we got a very comprehensive view into the winemaking process. Lunch was at a Best in class French restaurant. Our guide Margot was incredibly knowledgeable and was so accommodating taking dozens of unplanned stops for us to take photos with some of the famous chateau. This tour is also run by the same place that offers a wine masterclass. I recommend taking the class the day before to give you an overview on what to expect in each region
The tour through the Medoc region was fantastic!! All chateaus that were planned for us were amazing, the hosts of each were also great. The restaurant that was booked for us was very nice, food and service were fantastic. Our guide Xavier was amazing, very knowledgeable of Bordeaux, Medoc, other regions and most importantly the wine! He was great, we were travelling with a 18month old also, he made us feel very comfortable and was very helpful with our baby. Was a great day out, definitely recommend!! 100/10 10 star!
This was the best tour we could have hoped for! We visited 3 wineries in the Medoc region, with tastings at each. They each were unique and the tours of each were informative along with the wonderful history of the area and other information provided by our guide, Sebastian. Sebastian was the best! He used our time to the fullest slipping in a couple unscheduled stops to maximize our experience, and was so incredibly knowledgable about the area. He also made sure we made it back to Bordeaux on time to board our cruise ship. All in all, we could not have been more pleased!
Great organization. Very nice tour guide with lots of exciting information about Bordeaux. Very good selection of chateaus (family run, very modern chateau and a traditional chateau). The lunch was also very good. Highly recommended.
