Volevamo conoscere la città con gli occhi di una guida locale. Abbiamo prenotato in inglese e pagato ma poi ci hanno informato che non era disponibile per 5 persone al mattino del sabato...per cui abbiamo dovuto cambiare lingua per farlo nello stesso giorno al pomeriggio. Bello lo stesso ma il giro è durato più di 2 h, circa 2 h e 20 e la guida parlava troppo velocemente. Per cui dopo 2 h eravamo cotti!!! Lo consiglio comunque anche perché la degustazione alla maison du vin è stata una piacevole chiusura del giro...magari ci siamo trovati in un weekend molto affollato!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Marie (Mary), she had a wealth of fascinating information, so knowledgeable, great with her group and encouraged questions and made it fun. This was invaluable to our short stay in Bordeaux, 2 hours out of the day to give insite to this amazing city, well worth it... book it, you won’t regret it.. thanks Mary

Excellent information from guide Neil. Interesting about the city of Bordeaux and the history of the area, and detailed information about the huge sculpture. The tour lasted just long enough and were given vouchers for wine bar. Bordeaux is a beautiful city and we understand it more now.
