Guided tour

Bordeaux walking tour

From 13€ / pers

Discover the historic city centre with a knowledgeable guide. This 2 hour guided walking tour includes some of the city’s most remarkable 18th century architecture, as well as the highlights of the UNESCO World Heritage area.

  • guided tour
  • old district
  • main sights

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.

A great way to get to know Bordeaux
Frederick Tuite 05/26/2025
Our tour was with Alcide who was very knowledgeable about Bordeaux, its history and its culture. He kept the tour lively and interesting alternating between English and French. I could understand the French so I can vouch for his translation and he balanced the two languages very well. We got a good idea of the part of the city he brought us to and had great stories to humanise the city and its people. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

Bilingual Tour ok
Barbara T Rushing 05/24/2025
We did not understand that the tour would be both in French and English. The tour guide knew his material, but was difficult to hear since we didn’t have hearing boxes, the city traffic was very loud including jack hammers and some people in the tour talked among themselves when the guide was speaking in the language they didn’t speak… this was true for English as well as French speakers. It really was only a one hour tour, that required 2 hours of attention and standing. It could have been so much better or shorter. A bit disappointing, regretfully.

Answer from Monsieur l'Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole
