      River Tour Overview

      Stacey_I, Mar 2026
      Everything is run very smoothly. The glass of wine that comes with the ticket is very small. It’s a river so the boat is very stable. The skipper and crew and storyteller are all very professional.

      Wonderfully relaxing,...

      Lynn_H, Mar 2026
      Wonderfully relaxing, informative and pleasant experience. Smoothly sailing by Bordeaux and learning a bit more in depth information of its famous history, while sipping a glass of wine is not hard to do. Well narrated, very clean boat and nice employees. Highly recommend. It’s a nice break from the cobbled streets on your feet.

      Pleasant short cruise

      Bernard_M, Mar 2026
      It was enjoyable but perhaps a bit dear for what it is. The tour guide was very helpful and his commentary was relevant and amusing in places. The tour left on time and back dead on time. All in all a reasonable tour.

      Beautiful day interesting tour. Just the right amount of time. Ok the wine wasn’t great but I didn’t expect it to be

      Amazing Experience

      Joseph_O, Dec 2025
      It was such an enjoyable and amazing experience. The view of the lovely city of Bordeaux from the river, The tour guide's narration of the history of the city, the spectacular silhouette of the historic buildings against the magnificent sunset... so beautiful.

      Boat Tour

      Christopher_H, Dec 2025
      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.

      Great time

      OanaCorina_S, Dec 2025

      Nice, relaxing ride on the Garonne. The moderator was knowledgeable and very friendly. It was narrated in English and French. Great for all ages.

      Fun excursion!

      Lisa_Z, Oct 2025
      A great way to see the city! It was nice to enjoy Bordeaux from the river with a glass of wine. Thanks!

      leaetta_m, Oct 2025
      It was very nice the tour guide/speaker on that boat was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thankfully the weather was beautiful.

      Fun, scenic, and informative river cruise!

      Peter_L, Oct 2025
      Aulien was a fun and informative guide on our 1.5 hour river cruise. He gave us a lot of local historical and current information. The snack and wine made the cruise extra special! Highly recommend!

      Insightful by the host only thing was sat outside and sound quality wasn’t great and bilingual is fine but maybe longer gaps between charging languages

      Not the Most Attractive River

      ANDREW_M, Sep 2025
      To be fair the river and riverscape are not the most attractive I have seen. The tour host spoke in English and French and did a pretty fair job. However, at the end I was a bit put off when she was standing at the exit with a hat for tips. I don't like the pushy aspect of coaxing for tips.

      The guide and captain...

      Colleen_B, Sep 2025
      The guide and captain were absolutely fantastic! Lots of history and sites to see and hear about. The glass of wine was lovely.

      Bordeaux from the Garonne

      JoAnne_M, Sep 2025
      Relaxing and informative small boat cruise. The guide did a great job of showing us Bordeaux from the Garonne River. Just enough information and history along with a nice glass of wine.

      Bordeaux river cruise with wine

      Kantilal_J, Sep 2025
      We had 3 trips organised through viator. What a lovely experience. I received a message before the trip commenced, even showing "directions" option. We arrived at our meeting point without any trouble.

      Old friends trip back to France

      Marian_S, Sep 2025
      It was great fun, very informative guide, brilliant young man, well worth the cost. Really enjoyed the glass of rose and the gorgeous canelle

      Incredible Stroll down the Garonne

      Miguel_M, Sep 2025
      It was a great cruise . They offered us a canalé pastry at teh beginning before boarding and we got to chose wherever you sit and they gave us a card to redeem a glass of wine of yoir choosing. The live commentary both in French and English was great ! Overall a very pleasant stroll down the Garonne River !

      Nice little trip

      Arran_H, Jul 2025
      Friendly service. Quite interesting, though it’s not the most exciting strip of river, not the fault of the tour though. Recommended as a small excursion.

      Lovely for the first few minutes but underwhelming after.

      Nicky_R, Jul 2025
      So, the cruise itself is pretty underwhelming, but I enjoyed being on a boat for an hour and a half. The view of the city for the first few minutes is lovely, but, after that it’s old boats, cranes, average looking buildings. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had perfect English, the tour is very reasonably priced and you get a free drink of your choice included, so it’s good value. Obviously my view is subjective and others seem to have enjoyed it

      Boat trip

      Julie_B, Jul 2025
      Informative, a nice relaxation for 1.5 hours. I would highly recommend it. The lady who gave the tour had great language skills.

      Afternoon cruise

      Joanne_H, Jun 2025
      Lovely afternoon cruise , very informative about Bordeaux and some of its history without it being boring.

      Poor communication.

      Nena_N, Jun 2025
      The boat ride was good, but the location for boarding had been changed and was a 20 minute walk from the stated departure location and i was not notified.

      Beware of Viator pickup/meeting details, worth the effort!

      jane_f, Jun 2025
      The meeting place given by Viator is out of action along with the Quai where you board the boat. The pickup point is a little further down the river bank. We did see a boat moored with the relevant company name but this did not resemble the boat on the website (no upper deck) I think improvement can be made here but appreciate that the changes are probably due to the local road/tram works. Great commentary on the boat that made the boat trip!

      Excellent trip. Great...

      Paul_E, Jun 2025
      Excellent trip. Great commentary from very friendly crew members and a nice glass of wine included! Thoroughly recommended.

      Fantastic

      Sandra_S, Jun 2025
      Great excursion. The young woman who was our guide was fantastic. We learned so much from her about the history of Bordeaux. Good value for money. The weather was beautiful so it made the trip even more special.

      Pleasant boat ride

      Linda_V, May 2025
      This was a nice and peaceful boat ride up and down the river. The tour guide was informative and spoke good English.

      Views from a boat

      TERENCE_W, May 2025
      ...be aware of the meeting point directions as they were deceiving for the correct location being out by about 100mrs...I suggest one walk the wharf just in case...otherwise every thing was smooth sailing once on board...the MC was very educational in all aspects relating to the surrounds of the river...it was a nice touch to quaff a glass back whilst on the return leg...

      Opening of Bordeaux on water

      Youngnan_H, May 2025
      We took this cruise on the first day in Botdeaux. It gives good views and information about the city. The weather was beautiful, and the complimentary glass of wine and the canale were very good.
