Traveller reviews
Polina our guide was fantastic. We had the most enjoyable time. Everything was well coordinated and smooth
Polina was a fabulous guide. We absolutely loved visiting the cheese factory and bee keeper. Lunch at a local restaurant was superb. Dinner preparation with Antoinne was lovely and delicious. A great day in Lyon!!
From the pick up to drop off, it was such a pleasure and fun and wonderful experience traveling and spending the day with Polina. She felt like a friend as soon as we met her she was so informative and always answering our questions and making sure we felt comfortable and we’re getting what we expected out of our experience the guide at the farm to the staff at the restaurant, we’re just the best and we had one of the best days of our lives. Thank you so much. Paulina dropped us off with our chef and introduced us and got us settled before leaving us for the day made sure we knew how to get back to the hotel and the dinner with the chef was amazing. We learned so much he was so professional and informative and fun, and it was like having dinner with a friend at the end.
From beginning to end, this was a perfect day out. We were a group of 10 friends. We were hosted, guided and driven by Aldric and Thomas from Beaujolais Insiders, who were both knowledgeable and passionate about the wine region of Beaujolais and its scenery, taking us on a beautifully planned and executed tour of the region by vintage land rovers. Every stop was interesting and enjoyable. We got a chance to visit local producers and wine growers. Beaujolais insiders take their work seriously but do it with a smile and a lot of charm. The day ended with light a lunch of local delicacies and - wine. Absolutely recommended !!
This was an amazing experience where we visited three very interesting lovely farms, poultry, vegetables, and finally sheep. We ate lunch at a lovely little French restaurant, and then went to a farm store. We were able to buy some of the products that we had seen earlier in the day. We bought products that we took to a beautiful historic home where we met up with a very experienced chef and proceeded to create a true farm to table dinner. Aldric and chef Michael were exceptional at what they do.
This was by far the most wonderful tour I have ever been on. It was a true farm to table experience! We visited a poultry farm, an organic vegetable farm and a sheep farm and observed their sheep, milk cheese and yogurt making operation and sampled their cheeses. Then we had a delicious French lunch at a small quaint restaurant in a local village. then one final stop at a local farm co-op where we bought products from the farms we had visited . We would use them in our cooking class later in the day. We met with a local chef who welcomed us into a beautiful 18th century building once used by Napoleon’s mistress! We made a delicious multicourse dinner. Chef Michael was knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I learned so much from him. It truly was a great experience today.
Can’t explain how amazing this experience was, especially with our insider Aldric . This was such an original but also instructive and human experience, I recommend it strongly and without any hesitation. Thank you Insiders !
What an experience! We met inspiring farmers and even picked the products ourselves before heading back to cook with Arthaud, a great and friendly chef. His flat is just amazing! Thank you, Insiders, for this unique experience — the perfect mix of discovering the countryside, meeting locals, and enjoying a cooking class. I highly recommend it!
