Discovering Bordeaux on foot is the best way to experience the city’s diversity. The ‘City of The Lumières’, drawn up with a compass by 18th century architects and town planners, is synonymous with harmony: hôtels particuliers, beautiful squares and avenues are spread all along this route that takes you through picturesque areas like Saint Rémi and Saint Pierre quarters.

Some of the winding streetshave not changed since the Middle Ages. “Blondstone” is present everywhere, including in the sculpted faces that sit atop the city centre doorways,the mascarons. These stand as remarkable examples of art and masonry.

I have been on many wine tours in Bordeaux when I have guests in town and this one was the perfect value for your money. It is so much more convienent to have someone drive you to the chateaus and you get the benefit of a great tour guide. Brigitte, our guide, was a delight and was very knowlegeable. The two chateaus we visited in Blaye were lovely and we had a great experience!

I liked the choice of chateau we visited, the guide was nice, gave a lot of interesting information and even a short tasting course. Definitely would recommend to those looking to get the first taste of what Medoc region has to offer.

Bordeaux Walking Tour
Suneethap 03/10/2019
We booked a Bordeaux walking tour with Bordeaux Tourist board a 2 hour English / French. This does not cover very much, I am sure there are more historically and culturally important and interesting places in Bordeaux. We were shown two churches, the National Theatre , two monuments and few streets. Even with the rain and bad weather slowing us we finished in 1 and half hours. The guide Rachel who said she was from Brazil was very nice but I don't think she was very knowledgeable. I have been on walking tours in other European and non European cities which had been very interesting. I was quite disappointed here. Also if you are booking a guided tour like this make sure you book a tour which is done in one language, otherwise you tend to miss the beginnings at the change overs specially with the local accentst

Answer from Visiter Bordeaux

Hello,We thank you for your review.We are sorry to hear that the tour wasn't that you were expected.With a group of 25 people, it is difficult to cover all the historical points of the city. That is why the guide choose to show you these strategic monuments.We will transfer your comment to the Guided Tour service in order to improve this walking tour.We thank you for your interest in our city and hope to see you again soon. Kind regards,Jeremy, information assitant

Separate English and French tours needed
Anonymous 02/23/2019
Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but if I'd realised that half the tour would be in French I wouldn't have booked. As a previous reviewer pointed out, there really needs to be separate tours - one in English and another in French.

Answer from Visiter Bordeaux

Dear Madam, dear Sir,We are really sorry to hear about your comment but anyway, we thank you for your feedback.Separate English and French guided tours are not available at this period of the year. We are aware that guided tours in a single language are more adequate for the public and we offer this king of tour from April 1st to September 30th. In the hope that we will have the chance to make your experience a better one in the future, Jean-Eric, your information assistant.
