Truly wonderful food tour! - We had a really great time with Caz! There were only two of us, so it felt like a private tour. Caz was very knowledgeable and engaging, giving us lots of fun historical facts, anecdotes and interesting trivia about Bordeaux, some of its architecture and of course food and wine!! Meandering through the historical parts of the city, we tasted a variety of local specialties: coffee, cheese, chocolate, bread, chocolatine, canelé, wines as well as a delicious entree in a restaurant. We highly recommend this tour if you’re a foodie visiting Bordeaux for the first time!

Fabulous food tour experience with guide Caz! - We had a fabulous tour with the wonderful Caz! In addition to sampling some of Bordeaux’s best treats, Caz was a wealth of knowledge, interweaving interesting historical facts throughout the tour and very obligingly answering our myriad of follow up questions. His knowledge of Bordeaux’s rich wine history was a particular highlight! Recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux who enjoys food, wine and local history.

Terrific Tour in Bordeaux - We gained so much more from this tour than we expected. Our local tour guide, Stephanie, was so generous with her knowledge of the history of Bordeaux and how it relates to food. The selection of food tastings were from carefully selected cafes, bakeries, and markets. Every bite was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Stephanie.
