Brilliant Bordeaux Bites - What a wonderful morning we had strolling through Bordeaux with Alexandre. Such a knowledgeable guide sharing the history of this beautiful city and its food. Had some amazing treats along the way culminating in a tasting and wine pairing session with all the fabulous food we picked up along the way. Word of advice. Have a light breakfast!!!

Excellent food tour! - This tour was absolutely fantastic! Alexandre was a wonderful tour guide. He is super accommodating, kind, and knowledgable. He tries hard to make sure that everyone in the group is taken care of. Everything I ate and drank on this tour was delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic food and Wine tour of Bordeaux - We had a wonderful tour. Alexandre was a fantastic guide and was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a last minute no show from my party and Alexandre collected samples of all our stops and gave them to me at the end to bring to him. We also had an older gentlemen that needed some accommodations. It did not appear that Alexandre had prior notice of this. He was quickly able to adapt our roue and alter a stop to avoid a hilly area. This change did not alter the experience. !00% would recommend this tour and Alexandre.

What a great morning! Good company, great stories, and good food. - What a fantastic morning with friendly and engaging Alex! Our little group walked with him on a beautiful Friday morning in mid October in the old-town part of Bordeaux. We learned some interesting local history while we strolled to each little food shop on the tour. I had the best coffee of my visit in a little cannele shop called Cassonade near the Grosse Cloche (big bell). We wandered past a movie being filmed about Chopin (Bordeaux is frequently used for period films), we traced a few steps of the "Way of Saint James" (aka El Camino), and our visit culminated in a seating in a cheese shop with all of our goodies plus wine of the region to go with it. Before my arrival in town, Diane (the creator and owner of Bordeaux in Bites) and I emailed several times. She gave me some really fantastic tips for both Biarritz (where I started) and Bordeaux. She knows both areas very well and I hope to meet her on my next visit to either town! Very highly recommend taking a food tour with Bordeaux in Bites! (If you see the review by Ann D, she also posted photos. I am the one with my eyes closed, haha!)

Excellent tour! - This was a great tour and Alexandra has a great breath of knowledge. Our tour ended up being just Alexandra, me & my husband, which could have been a bit awkward but she was so lovely and chatty that didn’t matter. We visited a great bakery first, then a place for Canelés, followed but a butchers then the final stop at a cheese shop to eat everything Alexandra had helped us choose and buy. As well as the advice about food, she gave us plenty of history about Bordeaux. This was an excellent tour - different to ones we’ve done in other cities where you visit places and eat at each one. You will not need to make a dinner reservation for the evening as the food is substantial.

Amazing food and wine educational experience - Amazing tour focused on food and wine. We stoped first at an amazing bakery and discussed the history of breads then to a meet store. Then to a wine and cheese shot for a lunch using the items collected. Our guide was very knowledgeable and versed in food and wine pairing.

A fine day out - Alexandre is a real person, with real passion, not a tour guide doing a job. You should take this tour, no matter how little or how much you think you know, you will learn things and have a good time. Don't make a dinner reservation for after the tour.

Great experience for cheese and wine lovers - We had the most fantastic Bordeaux in Bites tour with Alexandre. He is an expert at the science of flavor pairing. He put everything together in a way I've never experienced before. What an education in tastes and sensations! He's a food alchemist and a taste combination genius! He also provided local history between stops and gave us the true flavor in all aspects of Bordeaux.

Great Good Tour! - We had a great food tour with Alexandra. Tasted some amazing local food and learned some great tips on how to get the best baguettes, cheese, etc. She really customized our visit and added on a trip to Marche des Capucins market when we said we would like to go there. I tasted the best cake ever there. Now if only I knew how to make it or have it anywhere else. She followed up with an email of the places we visited and what we tasted. I’ve never had that level of service from any tour before and I highly recommend Alexandra and Bordeaux in Bites!
