Tasty, fun and entertaining - This tour was fantastic! Mark showed us the best local places. He was knowledgeable about the history and answered all our questions. He was able to accommodate my walking pace due to my sprained knee and walking splint. Highly recommend this tour.

Bakery and chocolate food tour - 2nd food tour we done in Bordeaux with tours in Bordeaux. Our guide was Cassandre a local French girl who shared fascinating insights into local life. On top of that we stopped at 8 bakeries to sample different items. Great selections that we would never find by ourselves. Good value and great company and the choice of stores was perfect. Thank you Cassandre

sugar lover food tour - After successfully booking and attending the other tour with Tours in Bordeaux we took the bakery tour the next day. This was a sugar delight and lovely stroll through the old town. Many pastries were eaten and a delightful cookie washed down with coffee. Really good value for money.
