Joshua was a great guide well informed on local history culture and local food. We were able to taste a range of local foods at different venues including oysters and wine. The pace was easy. I would definitely recommend this tour with Joshua.
Joshua was very knowledgeable and aware of the needs of the group
A Story Well Told with tasty treats and numerous surprises. Josh blended Bordeaux history and cuisine artfully.
What a fantastic morning wandering around Bordeaux market area! Had so many great tastings from pastries to cheese, meats and oysters with great wine too! Joshua was a great guide and very knowledgeable about Bordeaux and the food and wine from the region. Highly recommend this tour! Must do in Bordeaux!
Joshua is a fantastic tour guide and we had an absolutely lovely time. The tour was great fun and my husband and I learnt so much about the town and culture while tasting fab food. I highly recommend it!!
Matthieu of FoodLoversTours of Bordeaux was an exceptional , knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. His choice of a variety of foods and local shops and stalls in the Capuchin Market was excellent. He provided knowledgeable information of the production of the foods from pastries, oysters, meats and cheeses and wine that reflected his love of French foods. This tour is aptly named as a Food Lovers tour and should not be missed . I will be looking to book his tours operating in other European cities as I am sure they would not disappoint based on this wonderful experience in Bordeaux.
Our tour leader Joshua was very attentive, knowledgeable, answered all our questions honestly - could NOT have asked for a better guide, ANYWHERE!
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Joshua made it the perfect blend of history, culture and food. He was equally knowledgeable as he was personable, and we were very pleased with the experience. Of all the tours we did in the 8 cities we visited during our trip, this was probably #1. 5 stars!
Joshua is an excellent tour guide. I knew this before the tour as this tour and he in particular were recommended to me by friends who were here in the fall.The experience did not disappoint!! I highly recommend this for the tastings and the education.
Joshua was outstanding, so knowledgable, unrushed, and adapted to the audience perfectly. Loved all the tasting experiences which were high quality - pastries, oysters, cheeses, charcuterie, wine and desert treat! Thank you!
Fantastic way to experience the beauty of Bordeaux through it's food and wine. Josh our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and fun. Thoroughly recommend to anybody visiting Bordeaux!
We absolutely recommend this tour. With Joshua we learned about the city, culture and food of Bordeaux. Having breakfast beforehand was a mistake as the tour included many foods to try. The market is vibrant, noisy and fascinating. With our guide, we learned much more about it than we would have by ourselves.
What an incredible experience! I make it a point to take a food tour in every city I visit and this one was of the best, most comprehensive experiences I’ve ever had. I learned so much about the various pieces of Bordeaux history, (ex. the city used to be covered in black soot and some buildings still are due to the expense and complexity involved in cleaning them. They have to use lasers to clean the intricate details of the churches!) different cheeses and how they’re made, and of course wine! You can tell the tour was put together by people who really know their stuff and all the best local spots in the city.
Great for all ages. Minimal amount of walking.. Joshua was a great guide. Gave us so much information about the history of the foods we were tasting. The cheeses were amazing and the sweets delicious Two of us had mussels for the first time. We were a group of five. Two couples traveling together and one young woman. Would definitely recommend.
A brilliant tour. Josh was excellent. Not only was he totally engaging, but knowledgeable about all things Bordeaux, food, the market and France. We had a fantastic time and the tour is highly recommended.
Our guide, Keke was wonderful with our family (2 adults and 3 kids under 8). We explored the Plade de la Victoria and walked toward the Capucin market. Tasted some delicious specialties across this tour. The group was small, and paced just right for our family. Really a nice way to explore this part of Bordeaux and would recommend to any families looking to get a taste of some highlights of the area!
Wonderful experience all around! Fantastic way to learn more about Bordeaux through its food! Nicely complements other tours out there giving a unique perspective and delicious food along the way. Joshua is an outstanding guide!!
The tour was really good and we would definitely recommend it! The food (especially the cheese) and wine was delicious and Charlotte was an excellent guide making sure everyone had a great time. 👍
Josh is an amazing tour guide! His knowledge of local food and produce was unmatched. My partner and I had the best time getting to know the area through the market food tour. Thank you for some great memories. From Liverpool!
For an in depth taste of bordeaux this is the tour to take We tried chocolate croissants, wine, oysters , charcuterie , cheese and dessert What a feast, delivered by our lovely, knowledgeable guide, Charlotte Who led us on our feast by giving a backstory for every delectable item It was a memorable day Thank you Charlotte
Had the best time on this tour thanks to Joshua! We like to try a different walking tour on every trip we go on, and sometimes they can feel a bit long but this one was extra fun and flew by. Felt more like getting a private tour of the city from a friend !! Joshua mixed cool and interesting Bordeaux history with the amazing local food. We hit quite a few stops and we were soooooo full by the end!! I would 10/10 reccomend. Thanks for a great time :)
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this delicious and informative tour. Our guide Joshua was/is the perfect mix of knowledgeable and fun. We enjoyed meeting the other people on the tour, both locals and tourists. Everyone seemed to be very happy with the places we visited and the food and drink! I highly recommend this tour.
It was a very wonderful food tour that I highly recommend. Great stops, great food, and great conversation!
