Additional Information

We reject the notion of ‘one-size-fits-all’ travel experiences and encourage you to do the same! We assure you a unique and personalized journey, ensuring no two tours are alike. Aside from a few staple dishes you have to try, the rest is tailored to your particular gastronomic interests.

Besides our accommodating small group sizes, a knowledgeable guide will accompany you. Were you aware that baguettes are not the best bread to order in France or that cheese has its own seasons? Perhaps you want someone to introduce you to the diversity of French wines? Our guides are qualified food professionals - former chefs, food critics, and connoisseurs of wine - rather than script-reciting students. We have chosen to feature only the finest shops, showcasing the crème de la crème of what France has to offer. Don’t worry about going hungry - our portions are substantial!

Excellent - Alexandra was a delightful guide; friendly, thoughtful and very knowledgeable about food and wine plus Bordeaux itself. Her passion was infectious. Gave some recommendations to help make the most of the rest of the trip which I have saved for my next visit. Had a wonderful time and would recommend both the tour and Alexandra. h

Highly recommended tour and guide - An excellent tour with an excellent guide, Alex. Items were selected from a local bakery, butcher shop, and cheese shop and enjoyed both during and after the walking tour.

Elevated experience - We have done walking food tours before this was by far the best! Alex was well traveled and knowledgeable. This experience went beyond just tasting the food. His insights into the flavors of the food and the wine enhanced the experience and his discussion of gut microbiomes was thought provoking. Would recommend as an introduction to the history and local culture of Bordeaux

An amazing food filled evening in Bordeaux - Alex was an amazing guide! He took us through the town and showed us some amazing places to eat as well as prominent locations. He was very thoughtful, since the meat shop is closed on a Monday he got the meat on Saturday and kept it for us. The extra meat and cheese was also given to us to take back to our accommodation. Thank you for an amazing tour in Bordeaux Alex.

Amazing culinary walking tour in Bordeaux with Alexandra! - 9 July 2024 ... already over a month ago now, but we still often think back to the amazing culinary walking tour through Bordeaux which Alexandra planned for us. What an enthusiastic, polite, modest and knowledgeable (food)guide Alexandra is!! The combination of delicious original authentic French products, a very friendly American couple and thus Alexandra made it an unforgettable afternoon for my wife and me. We visited a real "boulangerie", "boucherie" and "fromagerie". The owners of these stores were as enthusiastic about their shop/products as Alexandra is. Out of respect I've one advise: don't touch their products! We were allowed to choose delicious authentic French products (included in the price of the tour) which we consumed at the end of the walk in a very cosy wine bar. Of course, we also made a stop at the ‘Grosse Cloche’ where we enjoyed the one and only classic and vanilla cannelés. Alexandra (and of course also Danuta and Peter!) thank you very much for your enthusiasm, expertise and friendliness. You gave us an unforgettable afternoon. Writing this review, makes my mouth water again!
