Wow! Nikesh was *chef’s kiss*! He made me feel welcome, asked genuine questions of our curiosity, and balanced the tour well throughout. The walking and sightseeing was very well orchestrated and made “sense”. The part everyone wants to know about - THE PASTRIES - Yum!!! Again, well thought out and planned. You have everything from salty & savory to sweet sweet (but not jolly rancher artificial sweet). We tasted two types of bread, and as an extra special surprise we were treated to a pastry you can only get if the shop has left over croissants. This detail was what solidified the 5 star rating - to have curated such a relationship with shop owners (award winning nonetheless) where they’ll call you up and reserve such a specialty pastry for you and your tours, bravo *applause* Please note - all portions are half sizes (which was MORE than enough & allowed you to taste everything)

Donna_H

Fantastic tour with very tasty treats on a beautiful day. Nikesh, the guide, was full of history and interesting facts as I ate my way around town. The tour was well paced and the chosen boulangeries were exceptional. I am happy I found this tour. It's a good one!

We really enjoyed this tour. Nikesh is a very good guide who does a great job combining the history, neighbourhoods and a great selection of delicious pastries in Bordeaux. The tour involves a nice walk around the city, stopping at different boulangeries and points of interest along the way. We would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great tour with Nikesh. In addition to tasting several amazing breads and pastries, we saw some great historical sites and learned a good deal about Bordeaux’s history. We would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to learn more about the city’s food and history.

We booked this tour to round off our trip to Bordeaux and it did not disappoint! Nikesh was brilliant, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He even went ahead with the tour for just me and my partner as other travellers had dropped out. We walked around Bordeaux with a short tram ride for up to 3 hours, but the tour didn’t feel too long at all and there were plenty of stops. The walk was also pretty easy in that there were not a lot of hills or difficult paths. There are also toilet stops. Nikesh’s passion for Bordeaux’s history and its boulangeries was amazing - he took us to really interesting spots that we definitely wouldn’t have found without him. The food was incredible, he really has picked out the best places and hasn’t just settled for what might be good close by. It was great getting to know Nikesh and all about Bordeaux ! He gave us some really good recommendations and we are super grateful for the amazing food! As he suggests, you definitely don’t need breakfast or lunch! Thanks Nikesh!

This was a fantastic tour. Nikesh is very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and overall dynamic of the city. He did a great job weaving the stories into our walks and tastings. The tour was truly 3 hours and come prepared to walk; wear good walking shoes. We covered about 5 miles, visiting many neighborhoods and 4 boulangeries, including two award winning ones. Bring a bag, because no way could we eat all that we sampled; we brought about back to where we were staying.

Nikesh was a fantastic guide and the tour was wonderful! Be prepared to walk. We covered close to 5 miles and part was by tram. Nikesh is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bordeaux and its neighborhoods. The Boulangeries were delicious: a combination of sweet, savory, and bread. Two are award winners. This was way more than we expected! It was so much fun . We took a bag, knowing we couldn’t eat everything, and brought about half home for today.

Nikesh was amazing, I wasn't sure what to expect from the tour but my fiancé and I had a lovely time chatting, eating and learning about the city from him. Well worth the money and the time flies by. Thanks again for the lovely experience!

This is a fun way to experience Bordeaux. It is a walking tour that will take you to some off the beaten track sites as well as the more well known sites. All this while visiting the best boulangeries in Bordeaux and eating wonderful breads and pastries. We also visited a coffee shop with the best coffee. Nikesh is an amazing guide! Don’t hesitate to take this tour.
