Our guide was absolutly fantastic. We enjoyed her stories and her knowledge about wine and history. It was wonderful to do the walking tour the day after we arrived to get the information and see the sights. Excellent value.

Guadeloupe was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable, passionate, accommodating, and clear! She went above and beyond, and we're grateful to have had a tour with her:)

Our tour with Camilla was wonderful. We only had a few hours innBordeaux before moving on to our next destination and she managed to give us a really comprehensive overview of the city, the region and the sights. Her enthusiasm for her city and its culture was infectious and we found ourselves fantasizing about moving there 😀 We had an opportunity to try some wines and she gave us great information for a return trip. If you only have a short time to explore Bordeaux, this is a great way to do it.

I really enjoyed this walking tour of Bordeaux! I was in the city for just a day, and I wanted to make sure I could see and learn as much as possible. Mark's tour definitely went above and beyond my expectations and I was happy to learn about not only the main tourist areas, but also some of the more-overlooked yet super interesting parts and history of the city. Thank you for the great tour!

The tour in and around the old city is memorable, beautiful, elegant, clean medieval and gothic architecture, next to neoclassical buildings. What a gem in this beautiful, pedestrian friendly city.
