Great for an introduction to Bordeaux wines

We have no regrets booking this full day activity with the charming help of the lovely people at the Bordeaux tourist information. The wine tasting provided an amazing introduction to Bordeaux wines and wine tasting protocols, as well as providing very tasty snacks. The people we met who were also doing the tasting were an amazing and eclectic bunch and the host tailored the experience perfectly to our knowledge and interests. The tour to two wineries in Margaux contrasted beautifully with one another and the wineries were great hosts, but the winery tour itself was a little formulaic and it would have been nice to have some kind of activity or experience that varied the afternoon a little.

Pricey and poor
gloria Bermejo 07/14/2022
I found the experience too expensive for what we got. Also i booked the activities in French and they were hold in English. 8 people in a regular (3 in front) while the guide is non stop taking is not that nice. The contents were repeted in the morning and evening. Very simple and plain information. I wouldnt do this tour with this company again. They were just concerned in maximising the profit placint all of us in the same english group.

Answer from Vincent guide from Olala Bordeaux

Thank you Gloria for your review constructive to improve our offer. All our guides are bilingual and usually ask the language your prefer at the beginning of the tour. I don’t understand your comment because you had the wine tasting in French with Julie the morning. Is it true that if everybody speaks the same language, it’s nicer for the group to understand each other. The guide doesn’t have to talk all the time. We try to adapt the comments depending the questions we get and the experience of the people we have in the van. We are able to answer to very technical questions and only have guides specialized in the wine and knowledgeable about the region, the landscape and the gastronomy. It’s possible that some information are repeat between the workshop and the wine tour, because sometime we don’t have the same guest and we trust the Bordeaux’s vineyard is pretty hard to understand at the beginning. Eight persons is the maximum size of group we can take in the car. It’s not the case every day and all the season, you can imagine. If we take less, the prices will be higher and we really try to stay affordable. Sorry again to not have been able to answer to your expectations during this day and we hope after all, you’ll keep a good memory of your travel in Bordeaux.
