He certainly covered as much as he could in the time. I was the only English speaker but he made sure to give me the information (even in the face of some opposition from some in the group!)

I had the absolute pleasure of joining Bruno’s walking tour in Bordeaux, and I can confidently say it was one of the highlights of my trip! Bruno’s deep knowledge of Bordeaux’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought the city to life in a way I never expected. What stood out most was his enthusiasm and storytelling ability. Whether it was the majestic architecture, the charming streets of the old town, or the history of Bordeaux’s wine culture, Bruno shared fascinating details that kept me engaged throughout. He was also incredibly personable, making sure everyone felt included and answering all of our questions with patience and insight. If you’re visiting Bordeaux, don’t miss the chance to explore the city with Bruno. His passion, expertise, and warmth make for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
