What a great experience. Jean-Christophe was a superb tour guide - knowledgeable, interesting and personable. The bike tour was a great way to see the highlights in Bordeaux and hear about its rich history. I would highly recommend this tour.

WILLIAM_S

Great guide, excellent bikes, wonderful friendly group, totally interesting route. We were in the hands of a delightful story teller, with a fun stop at a combination brewery, bakery, coffee hang-out. Great historical overview and explanation of important sites. Easy bike riding (assuming you are in average physical shape). Was frankly amazed at how much I enjoyed the several hours and was sorry it was over.

Not only were the views amazing with so many photo opportunities but Jean - Christophe our guide for the afternoon was fantastic. He speaks very good English and his passionate knowledge of the history of the city was educating and interesting. One of the main attractions of this trip is crossing the river on two different bridges which not only gives the views from the other bank but also to explore best kept secrets that most tourists would miss.

Terrific ride through town with many stops for history and architecture appreciation, including photos/drawings of Bordeaux on past ages

LizzieDee1973

Really enjoyable experience. Covered a large amount of ground and went to places we would not have ventured on our own. Darwin area and skatepark and lovely ride through the park. Good value for money. Tour guide was really pleasant and gave enough history in his stops.

My wife and I chose to do this tour on our arrival day, it was an excellent decision. JC is a great guide, friendly, knowledgable and clearly passionate about his beautiful city! The bikes were comfortable and well maintained, he provided helmets, rain coats and water bottles. I highly recommend this as a wonderful way to see Bordeaux!

We had planned our trip to Bordeaux quite a bit in advance, and booking the bike tour tour felt like a great thing to do as we we both enjoy cycling. We had no problem booking the tour and finding the meeting point as we had done a bit of research beforehand. We were met by Jean Christoph, who made us feel very welcome and arranged our suitable bikes. The tour was very easygoing, taking in all the wonderful sites of Bordeaux and with Jean Christope great knowledge of the city it was so enjoyable. Would highly recommend the tour with Jean Christoph and would definitely would do it again when back in Bordeaux. Dean and Ruth

I've lived in Bordeaux a very long time ago and though I bike tour around the city might be fun. I was surprised how much the city has changed over the years and if it hadn't had been for this tour I would have never found out. The tour takes you around all the main sights of Bordeaux and also to newly developed areas of town. It's the perfect mix of (exercise) and exploring a new city. It was not exhausting at all though and can highly recommend it. The guide was very knowledgable and has lived in Bordeaux most of his life. It is obvious he loves the city, whenever he talks about it!

Stuart_A
