Dijon was the home of the Dukes of Burgundy and a place of power from the 11th to the late 15th century. From this period, the city has kept many architectural styles and historical monuments like Capetian, Gothic and Renaissance. Today, Dijon is a city famous for its delicious mustard and its old town. In this tour, you will walk by the historical heart of Dijon, home of many incredible buildings like the Porte Guillaume, Rue de la Liberté, Place de la Libération, Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne and Eglise St-Michel. You will even have the chance to touch the lucky owl statue on the side of the amazing Eglise de Notre-Dame!

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

We were staying in a vacation rental north of Lyon while attending the Women’s World Cup and had initially wanted to take a Beaujolais Wine Tour on one of the off-days. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a tour or private tour guide that wasn’t already booked. As a result, we moved further North and started looking at Burgundy wine tours. Luckily by-chance, we booked The Wines of Burgundy Day Tour with Pieter Smits. We had a wonderful tour with Pieter as we visited several villages, chateaus, and wineries. Not only were we able to sample some fine wines but Pieter also selected a restaurant where we had a great lunch. Pieter is very engaging and knowledgeable which helped make the tour very enjoyable. It's an experience I will always remember.

We had booked a trip with alexia Papin specifically to visit vineyards in Beaune area as we own a vineyard in Coghills creek Victoria Australia. The places she took us to were amazingly helpful & did not hold back on explaining every aspect of growing grapes, maintaining their vines to achieve the best results & the process they go through in producing wine. Alexia’s interaction with the wineries showed how highly they regarded her. Also on our tour we were taken to the many interesting sites in Beaune.

We booked a tour from Beaune and added the option of an E bike as it was something we were considering investing in and also because we'd not cycled in more than 3 years. We were a small group of 6, plus Theo our guide and we departed by minibus to the top of the road overlooking St Romain and from here we cycled mostly downhill on small tarmac tracks with almost no other traffic. Theo was an excellent guide explaining the classification of Bourgogne wines and after a brief stop for a taste of Aligote wine courtesy of Theo we stopped at Chateau Rochepot for an explanation and then on to a tasting at Montrachet vineyard and a visit of the cellar. Lunch was included at a very nice restaurant in Montrachet and then back to cycling, finishing up at Pommard for another tasting. This concluded our cycling, but not for Theo who had to cycle back to collect the minibus and then return to collect our bikes and us! We had such a great time that we booked another tour the next day to the north of Beaune around the Nuit St Georges area which included tastings of Grand Cru's, fantastic lunch and less cycling than the day before, but again no hills, and again with the excellent Theo!!

We booked a trip for a Montgolfière trip over Chenonceau and the Cher. GETYOURGIDE mentions that the maximum of participants is 10 persons for each ride. Upon arrival to our surprise we were 14... our surprise grew when hearing that we had to embark in two Jeeps to go to the departure ( 7+the driver per car ! = packed one against another ) When mentioning that this didn’t respect current measures for Covid, we got the answer that also in the gondola we would be stuffed one against another as well. And that therefor we had to wear a mask as desinfect our hands. Unsure if the montgolfière had been desinfected ( we could’nt see anyone doing this, the cars weren’t in any case . When telling that GETYOURGUIDE mentioned that the trips were limited to 10 participants, Mister France Montgolfière told us not without arrogance that the could write what they wanted but that it was not the problem of France Montgolfière ...When asking if we could take our own car for transfert ; that was impossible. Common sense would limit the number to 8 participants and foresee a transfer in mini-bus. We have been following strict hygienic rules by keeping distance at all times : the lack from the side of France Montgolfières is unacceptable and we didn’t want to participate under these circumstances. We asked full refund from Getyourguide... and we are fully entitled to get one.

We were supposed to have a tour to Beaune, and because we were 3 we got huge chances to got it cancelled. But, they offered us instead an excursion to côte de nuits... it was better than expected! Emmanuel was a super guide! He explained us everything about the wine making process, took us to 2 places for wine tasting and to the vineyards... I just know how to better enjoy wine thanks to him. This excursion made our experience at Dijon unforgettable even in Corona times! Def if I come back I will go for another excursion with them :)
