Fab time - We’ve done many city tours and this was one of the best. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kind. She gave us a 2hr walk around Bordeaux and her explanations of the history of the city really made it come alive for us. And great cafe and restaurant recommendations too. Tip: take an umbrella even if rain isn’t forecast!

Great day in Bordeaux - Our tour with Camilla was wonderful. We only had a few hours innBordeaux before moving on to our next destination and she managed to give us a really comprehensive overview of the city, the region and the sights. Her enthusiasm for her city and its culture was infectious and we found ourselves fantasizing about moving there 😀
We had an opportunity to try some wines and she gave us great information for a return trip. If you only have a short time to explore Bordeaux, this is a great way to do it.

Above expectations and good context of the city! - I really enjoyed this walking tour of Bordeaux! I was in the city for just a day, and I wanted to make sure I could see and learn as much as possible. Mark's tour definitely went above and beyond my expectations and I was happy to learn about not only the main tourist areas, but also some of the more-overlooked yet super interesting parts and history of the city. Thank you for the great tour!

Don’t use this company - excellent free walking tours available - The guide did not show up at the appointment time and no contact was made with me . It was an extremely disappointing start to a holiday in Bordeaux.

Cancelled us 30 mins before it was due to start - Our walking tour was cancelled 30 mins before it was due to start at 10am. It left us without a tour in the only time we could do it. Had to do the bus tour instead, which was better than we thought.
