Scenic boat tour

This was a wonderful way to see the city from a different point of view. The canales and one free drink were a great snack along the way. The guide was a bit hard to hear at times. We got some great photos from this tour.

Bad communication

Jayme_N, Sep 2025
Our tour was cancelled and we didn’t find out until 20 min after we were to begin. The guide never showed and when I called to get info was told it was cancelled. The independent tour told me they told Viator the day before but that info wasn’t passed on to me

Raphaël was a wonderful...

Jackie_O, Apr 2025
Raphaël was a wonderful tour guide. So incredibly knowledgeable about the area and very kind. He brought Bordeaux to life for us. Additionally, he went out of his way to recommend restaurants and food options for us as we have some allergies and were looking for help navigating that in the area. Highly recommend!

Fabulous walking tour of historic Bordeaux.

We had a fantastic time with Marina as our guide. She was a great host for our first full day in Bordeaux. The tour provided a wonderful overview of the city and marina was eager to point out hidden gems. We learned a lot of the history of the city and now have a great foundation for exploring Bordeaux for the next week! Thanks Marina!

This was a nice easy walking tour of Bordeaux! Lila was a great tour guide and gave us suggestions on where to eat and the best historical places to visit. I would highly recommend a tour like this in the first few days of your visit to get acquainted with the city quickly.

Flexible and friendly

Bruce_L, Sep 2024
Rafael was delightful! It was like having a peaceful stroll with one of our sons. He accommodated our needs and was flexible. Can we stop at this cafe. Of course! Keep in mind, we were on a private tour.

Great Intro to Bordeaux

Beautiful City but take more time

Annemari_J, Sep 2024
Our guide was very nice-but the tour was just so so, we paid for a 3 hour tour and she thought it was a two hour tour so it was really just a summary.

Great walking tour with...

Our guide was very interesting

Guy_D, Jun 2024
A great tour guide and we saw a lot of interesting places. Our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable. Possibly three hours was a bit long and we should have chosen the two hour option as there was a lot of detail.

Formidable!

Marc_M, Jun 2024
Our guide, Guadalupe was just fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, very prepared, full of energy and showed a true love of her city. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Great guide in a great city!

Natalya_G, Jun 2024
We had a wonderful tour. The guide Cassandra was a well-informed, well-spoken. The time has flown without us even noticing, so involved we were with the sites and information. Thank you!

Excellent Overview of Bordeaux

Edwina_R, Jun 2024
We very much enjoyed our time with Guadalupe exploring Bordeaux. We are here for two weeks so we were looking for an overview and advice on how to spend our time touring and dining. Guadalupe is also a wine expert so her knowledge extended to the whole region. Highly recommended! Edwina and Greg from Washington, DC, Birmingham, Alabama and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
