Let me just say that this is by far the best Tourist Guide in Lyon. My wife and I did 3 tours with Olivier and he was phenomenal.
Go directly to his website and choose the tour you want or just contact him for a private tour. He is very flexible and easy to work with.

We took a day trip to the Beaujolais region with Olivier and five other guests. We visited Chessy and Perouges and two wineries. We also stopped for an excellent lunch. The leaves on the vines had turned colour but had not yet fallen and provided an excellent backdrop for our photos. Olivier showed us several views for photos that we would never have found on our own. He also organised a tour of the vineyards by the 10 th generation owner of a family vineyard to explain how the grapes are grown and how the wine is made. Afterwards, we went to his tasting room and Olivier led a tasting of the wines made at the winery (the second of the day). We also visited Chessy and Perouges, which were different but both ancient and incredibly beautiful. Olivier explained the history and pointed out some interesting details. It was a very good day.

It was a great day out - the beautiful villages visited, the lovely wine tastings, the stunning scenery as well as Oliver's excellent explanations and very nice manner. Oliver is very professional and full of local knowledge, as well as being very patient and attentive! He's one of the best tour guides we've ever had - he's down to earth and a pleasure to talk to. He made sure we could visit toilets everywhere, which was great! The restaurant for lunch was a lovely experience and very delicious! Excellent tasting and very reasonably priced. The other guests were in excellent company and it was a very enjoyable day!!! (and of course the Beaujolais wine is delicious!! ) Highly recommended!!

We recently took a private day trip to Oingt and Pérouges (with a visit to a vineyard) with Olivier and it was excellent! Olivier is well organized and knowledgeable! Our lunch in Oingt was also really delicious! I would highly recommend a visit with Olivier.
