Highly recommended and customizable tour. - We had a great walking tour in Bordeaux with Sophia. She contacted us prior to the tour and asked us about our interests. She catered the tour to what we wanted to see and learn about the most. She is very knowledgeable and very nice. It's easy to see that she loves sharing her love of Bordeaux with others.

Best tour I ever had - Sophia shares with you her love to the city. She makes you fill comfortable and enjoy the city at your own pace. When she shows you the hidden gems of the city and tells the stories about its secrets you feel like walking with an old friend. What could be better?

Sophia is an absolute treasure! - Sophia is an absolute treasure! She's knowledgable, personable, warm and easy to understand. She has the ability to impart lots of great information and history and make it come alive. We spent about 3 hours walking through the Bordeaux City Center and really felt we were immersed in it. I would recommend Sophia in a heartbeat!

Bordeaux visit with Sophia - Sophia enhanced our visit to Bordeaux. She showed us parts of the old city which we may not have found on our own in the short time available to us. She was an informative and knowledgeable guide who understood our needs and interests and adapted her input accordingly.

Snippet of Bordeaux - Sophia is very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was short and sweet. More like a little snippet of Bordeaux. Sophia not only shared historical info with us but current cultural and current matters.

French farmers protest spoiled visit! - A great shame the weather was pretty awful Saturday so curtailed the desire for a walking tour. Sunday was a bit better but disaster - one of main sights we wanted to see was the mirror fountain. Turned out was not in operation because during their protests the militant farmers covered it in animal doo-doo so it is now toxic and can't be used. Hope they are proud of themselves......not. The old city gate structure is a wonder to behold and the trams are amazing. Lunch at the hotly contested futurisic bulding housing the Cite du Vin was very good: very limited menu but perfectly curated for a light lunch with stunning views - weather permitting! We got some relief from the grey clouds but it didn't stop us thoroughly enjoying our visit Bordeaux airport is a wholly different experience - and one that we would not want to repeat.. Fly to Toulouse and hire a car!French Farmer spoled visit!
