What are people saying about Bordeaux

But even for non-drinkers, there's plenty to enjoy, from the gorgeous vineyard chateaus that warrant a postcard to charcuterie and cheese from local farms.

What are the best tours in Bordeaux?
There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Bordeaux. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Are guided tours in Bordeaux worth it?
Yes, guided tours in Bordeaux are worth it. The famed wine region has countless vineyards to choose from, and tasting tours provide transportation—so you don't have to worry about assigning designated drivers—and save you hours of research by organizing all logistics. Plus, tours include perks such as snacks and transportation. Whether you're sipping merlot or strolling along Bordeaux's historic streets, you'll learn far more local insights by exploring with a guide than you could on your own.
Per one customer who booked the Medoc or Saint-Émilion Wine Tasting and Chateau From Bordeaux, "What a fantastic tour. Remy, our tour guide, was informative and knowledgeable from start to finish. A very likeable guy to spend the day with. We were made to feel very welcome at the Chateau, and we had a very enjoyable time learning about the wines of the region, as well as sampling them! Beautiful scenery and a lovely visit to the town of Saint-Émilion. The small group made it feel very personal; I would definitely recommend that you book this trip."
How much do Bordeaux tours cost?
You can book Bordeaux tours at a range of price points. Pay-what-you-wish walking tours around town cost as little as US$5, while group food and wine tours start from US$35. Expect to pay at least US$80 for wine-country day trips with transportation included, or much more for private excursions.
A well-rated tour at the lower end of the price range is the Bordeaux Wine Tasting Class With Charcuterie and Cheese (3 Wines) for US$35, which covers a guided tasting at a wine bar in central Bordeaux. The tour is only one hour long, so you'll get an overview of local wines without visiting any vineyards. On the pricier side, the full-day Saint-Émilion & Médoc Wine Day Tour: Châteaux, Tastings and Lunch (US$225) features tastings at multiple wineries, a meal, a walking tour of Saint-Émilion, and round-trip transportation from Bordeaux.
What activities are included on Bordeaux tours?
Bordeaux is known worldwide for its wine, so most tours take you to wineries to sip local varietals and admire the vineyards—either on foot or by bike. In Bordeaux itself, you can taste French cheeses or canelé pastries on a food tour, or appreciate 18th-century architecture on a walking tour.
Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the full-day Saint-Émilion & Médoc Wine Day Tour: Châteaux, Tastings and Lunch takes you to both the Saint-Émilion and Médoc wine regions, whereas shorter tours visit just one. You'll taste wines at three different châteaux, take a walking tour of medieval Saint-Émilion, and have a picnic with vineyard views.
How many days in Bordeaux is enough?
You’ll need at least two full days in Bordeaux to explore both the UNESCO–listed historic center and the surrounding wine regions. Dedicate one day to the La Cité du Vin wine museum, Place de la Bourse, and other central sights, then take a wine tasting tour around Saint-Émilion, a medieval hill town with plenty of renowned vineyards. Time permitting, you could easily spend a week soaking up Bordeaux’s wine, cuisine, and culture.
