Guy, our lead, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable in both history and s wine. Would definitely do this again. Even though the weather was very warm having a professional driver with a wonderful AC kept us comfortable all day long.
Great tour of Bordeaux! Due to our schedule and travel Bordeaux became a stop over and to make the most of it we did this walking tour. I truly felt like I saw the city and had a wonderful time. The guide was communicative and informative. Highly recommend!
Amazing tour! Rosie was our guide, and WOW!!! She was amazing! We spent three hours exploring Bordeaux, her stories and insights were fabulous!
What an amazing tour! Rosie was spectacular! She took her time and showed us all the sights, suggested places to visit on our own, places to eat, partake a beverage and spun stories to showcase the amazing Architecture. Do not miss this tour!
Great tour, our guide was engaging, knowledgeable and amusing. We didn't have much time in Bordeaux and this tour really gave us a context and the main facts. We are so pleased we did it, even though it was pouring with rain! Definitely recommend.
Excellent walking tour! Ani was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and gave great history lesson. Definitely pleased with Free Walking Tours of Bordeaux. Recommend them highly! 5 STARS 🌟.
Clemence was an excellent guide and ambassador for Bordeaux - knowledgeable about its history and happy to share her knowledge. Her enthusiasm was contagious!
Raphael was very informative and friendly, the tour covered a lot of information. I would recommend this tour again.
We took a walking tour with Caz and we loved it! He was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Bordeaux. The tour was informative, fun, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a great morning with Clemence. She introduced us to Bordeaux & gave us a wonderful background on the city, culture & history. She was able to provide context to little things that would have gone unnoticed without her experience. It was a very nice walking tour.
Clemence is a good tour guide, she even prepared her own printing with pictures showing the differences and we enjoyed it so much with her explanations. She is also very accommodative to our request. Kudo to her!!
Clemence was our very excellent tour guide for 2 plus hours. Her English was fantastic and easily understood. She did a great job explaining the history of the many special sites of Bordeaux. We especially liked seeing the old stone walls under the floor of the retail store! Her tour gave us a real appreciation of the history of Bordeaux and its evolution over the years.
Our friendly and funny guide told us some of Bordeaux's history, linked to different landmarks, and some interesting tidbits of information. He also shared tips on things for tourists to do (including ways to save $ on activities). I've always found the Free Walking Tours a great way to start exploring a city, and this was no exception. THANKS!!
Raphael was warm, friendly and insightful. He had a very wide knowledge of the history of Bordeaux and surrounds.
They were very unorganized when we were there. We sat alone to a lunch of cold mashed potatoes, green beans and duck with pimento cheese type spread. Desert was nice. Glass of wine was same size as out tastings. Our guide was new and spoke very fast with a heavy French accent and we got very little of it. I do not recommend this tour.
This was a great way to be become familiar with Bordeaux. The tour guide was very enthusiastic & had a wealth of knowledge. She also suggested other places to see & eat. Would highly recommend this tour.
Tour was a great mix of history, current city and recommendations. Showed most of the sites and pointed out additional points to follow up if of interest in specific areas. Caz our guide was brilliant 👏
Ani was terrific from the day before the tour when he texted me to confirm our meeting place. He started by asking what my interests were and then he focused on the history of Bordeaux as requested. He was engaging and funny and made the time walking around the city in the heat thoroughly enjoyable.
Clemence was a wonderful tour guide! So knowledgeable and interesting. We learned much about Bordeaux and saw many sights that we would not have seen on our own.
Raphael was very well informed and enthusiastic very helpful and pleasant with great ideas and suggestions. Try it you will not be disappointed.
Caz was a fun guide for our private tour. Full of information, good walking, and some good laughs! We followed up after the tour with some his recommendations!
Clemence was an amazing, energetic and engaging tour guide! She knows so much about Bordeaux - whether history, culture, or where to eat/drink -- and we got a great feel for the city. Highly recommend!
Enthusiastic guide, passionate about the city. Nice recommendations. Would use this tour either in English or other guides from the same company if you prefer a tour in Spanish :)
Rosie did a wonderful job showing us around Bordeaux our first day. She was very accommodating when we were delayed from our travel, and we really enjoyed her knowledge of the city and it's history. Great tour!
Caz was brilliant. Great tour. Entertaining and informative commentary. Great experience all round. A must do when in Bordeaux
This was a really great tour with Clemence visiting the main sites in this beautiful and interesting city. She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history through the different periods in a clear and engaging way including the links to Britain and other parts of France. A very enjoyable and informative couple of hours. This is not a long tour in terms of distance with the focus more on the history.
Great time seeing the sights of Bourdoux. Wonderful guide with a vast knowledge of the city. Highly recommended!
I had a fantastic tour through the old town and the medieval parts of Bordeaux. Ani was a very enthusiastic and competent guide with a lot of fun facts and recomendations.
Highly recommend this tour and Ani, our tour guide! We booked a 3-hour private tour and agreed beforehand that we’d cut out early if the tour was boring. Well, much to our surprise the 3-hours felt like an hour! Ani was very knowledgeable about Bordeaux history and it’s architecture. He made the tour interesting by storytelling and humor. We were captivated. Even better, he’s a sommelier and foodie!! If you’re visiting Bordeaux take this tour and request Ani as your tour guide. You won’t regret it.
Caz gave us a relaxing informative tour . Nice to do an English speaking tour by an English speaker .
Caz was super friendly and had a great grasp of local history. We came away from the tour with a much better understanding of Bordeaux city and the region more generally. It was a great way to spend a morning in Bordeaux.
We had a private family walking tour and the guide was great! He was engaging for both the adults and children.
A very informative tour about the history & sights of Bordeaux. We didn’t realise that it was on the afternoon of the finish of the Tour De France stage. Clem was was an extremely knowledgeable passionate guide. It was a hot afternoon and we really enjoyed exploring the medieval part of Bordeaux. Thanks Clem
Adrian was a great guide. Passionate about the history of Bordeaux and the region and able to make it relevant for our background too. Also gave us great recommendations on where to go during the rest of our stay.
Amazing communication and knowledge by the tour leader Willingness to answer our questions Interactive engagement of the group by giving us quiz questions Free and donation voluntary however I was happy to donate it was great value Ps we did Sunday morning walk so hardly anyone around
Clemence was our guide. She has a deep knowledge of Bordeaux and provided a history lesson along with interesting facts about the city. This tour is well worth the investment. We received restaurant recommendations and information on things to do during our stay. A++
Great introduction to old part and history of Bordeaux. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun.
Adrian was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our tour. I didn’t realise WhatsApp is the way the guides communicate with you before the tour and didn’t respond to Adrian’s message. That meant I was then very concerned he wouldn’t turn up! But he did and it was all wonderful. We learnt so much about Bordeaux, its architecture, French history, the Hundred Years’ War etc. Was great just having the 3 of us as my husband wears hearing aids and a big group doesn’t work for him. My niece also asked a lot of questions which don’t get answered in a big group either. We highly recommend both Adrian and the private tour.
Fantastic Tour from Clèmence Very knowledgeable and friendly Learned alot would 1000% recommend this experience !!
Very informative and fun walking tour. We saw all the sights. Ani is a great tour guide. We highly recommend.
Great tour of Bordeaux by Ani who gave great insight into his city. Wonderful explanation of the history and the layout of the city. Numerous suggestions to make our stay in Bordeaux more meaningful. Thank you Ani.
Interesting tour and great tour leader. Covered many topics and buildings. Adrian gave us a brief history of so many places and was very pleasant to be with
Fabulous vistas of Bordeaux and a great historical overview. Thanks Adrian for sharing your knowledge and tips!
Desiree was great. Contacted us before the tour, tour started on time and was very informative and fun. Much better than being in a group of 20 as moved at our pace. Highly recommend.
Tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. She kept our interest and made it a fun 2 hours. I’m so glad we took the tour.
From the start the guide Adrian was enthusiastic and informative, he gave a background to the history of Bordeaux and make each stop as interesting as the last. I followed all his recommendations for things to do and places to see and they did not disappoint
Adrian was a great guide for our walking tour. The pace was just right and we stopped at all the main places of interest where he explained all the history in a really engaging way.
Our guide Clemence was excellent— very knowledgeable and personable. She made the tour for us We were able to get an understanding of the history of Bordeaux during our 3 hour walk thru the city Very nice tour
