Bordeaux Chartrons Food Tour: The Story Of Bordeaux Wine

Marina spoke excellent English was was very accommodating! She was also very knowledgeable about the town and French history. I would highly recommend her

Fantastic tour! Caz relayed so much history and fun facts in a humorous way. Delicious tastings and ens at a lively wine bar. A must do in Bordeaux

we thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine tour, good food and some local knowledge of the History of Bordeaux also provided which was an added extra. Food included pastries, cheese, coffee, bread and a small glass of wine to end with.

Very interesting tour full of the history and origins of food. I feel there was but too much history though. We expected to have had more actual eating of food and wine. Perhaps this tour would be more suited to a morning tour.

We loved the insights and knowledge Isabelle provided with our tour. Isabelle’s passion was evident - we loved the tour, food, wine and we were very impressed!

A great way to learn about the history of Bordeaux and how the locals live today, experience the food and drinks along the way. Our guide, Valerie was a great communicator and the time flew by! Highly recommend !

The tour was excellent, Valerie was very informative and made it an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide did not show up When we called her she was not aware that she was supposed to be there and she was not even in the city When we called the tour operator Paris a Dream they did not try to help Paris dream is a nightmare Do not book with Paris a Dream !!

Great afternoon in bordeaux, our guise Isabelle was very cool, she speaks spanish which was great for my parents. Its a very relaxed and fun tour, we tasted authentic food and drinks like cheeses, bread, fruits, sweets and wine. Also the tour is friendly for babies, we did it with my 5 month old and no troubles at all. 5 stars.

Lovely to experience the atmosphere in Chartrons and sample some of the local produce. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the small number of people we had in the group (6) worked well. I liked the mix of food experience and local history / architecture. I would have liked to sample a few more evening / dinner tastes than we did and hence have less sweets / pastries but this would be the only change I'd propose.

Unfortunately, not worth the money. This tour was from 4 to 7 p.m. I expected a few more evening/dinner food tastes of decent portions. The tastings were very tiny and not worth the money of the tour. We also booked the 'No Diet Food Tour' for the following day. The No Diet Tour was only $64 (verses $96 for this tour) I'd bet half the money paid on the No Diet tour was spent on food tastings; and I bet only about 10% for this tour. On the No Diet food tour we were stuffed at the end and probably had double tastings as this one. At the end of this tour, we didn't feel like we had eaten anything of substance. Additionally, our tour director got lost twice and we had to backtrack.

Isabelle was a great guide and really knowledgeable - about more than just the food and drinks. The time that she puts into her planning and meetings with producers to really know where the products come from that we tasted, were apparent.

Isabelle was great! Super knowledgeable and the tour was very well planned hitting multiple stops. The food and drink was fantastic and Isabelle was very accommodating to my wife’s food restrictions. Would highly recommend this on a stop through Bordeaux!

My wife and I participated in the Bordeaux Wine District "Balade Gourmande", guided by Isabelle. We really enjoyed all the tastings and were happy to get to know Isabelle, to be impressed by her personality, her expertise and her love for everything she explains, whether it is the history of the city or everything related to food and producers. We learned a lot on this tour. There is no doubt that on our next visit to Paris we will participate in the tours organized by her company.

Isabelle was an incredible guide. She was so kind and knowledgeable. She shared with us the history of Bordeaux as we tasted our way around a quaint neighborhood. I highly recommend!

My husband and I had a fantastic afternoon with Isabella as she took us around old Bordeaux. She is extremely knowledgeable and the food and drink selections were very good! Speaking with her, she takes pride in her work and is constantly educating herself to bring the best experience to her clients. She let us know that she also does tours from Paris and the next time we are there, we will be calling her. We highly recommend Isabella!

Isabelle is super passionate about the region and very enthusiastic. Her energy and smile is infectious- which added to the enjoyment of the tour ! She focused the choices of places visited to align with strong family values and those who are clearly passionate about the quality of food and mastering their craft in producing a product to be super proud of. A great day of both history and tastings!

This gourmet walk in the heart of old burgundy was a real pleasure, authentic, ethical, friendly, charming and interesting! No reason to deprive yourself of it! Stéphanie is very pleasant and Isabelle who was kind enough to come to meet us is certainly just as nice. Useful gift idea that does so much good. I advise, I recommend without hesitation!

Great time spent visiting Bordeaux and discovering the city by its flavors. I highly recommend it!
