An interesting and fun trip into Bordeaux’s past. Said, our tour guide, did a wonderful job telling us about the legends of the city. Some were quite spooky! A perfect way to spend an evening in October.

I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves a good story, loves history, and is seeking a unique experience in Bordeaux.
