Overview

Guidekin summary

A city ride along the Garonne and through the old streets with a guide who shares personal spots, a canelé tasting on the way and a handmade postcard to take home; sturdy upright city bikes and helmets are provided and an e-bike tier exists. Rides share the road with traffic, and late arrivals are not refunded. 4.93 from 571 reviews at €36 per person.

From the guide

Forget the typical guided tour — this is a ride with a friend who happens to know every corner of Bordeaux. For 3 hours, you'll pedal through UNESCO-listed streets, colourful neighbourhoods, and along the Garonne with a local guide who genuinely loves this city. Our guides come from different backgrounds, each with their own stories, favourite spots, and personal recommendations. They're not reading a script — they're sharing their city with you. Ask anything. Where do locals eat? Which wine bar is worth the detour? Great conversations, real tips, and stories you'll retell at dinner. Groups stay small — up to 12 guests per guide — no megaphones, no rushing, just a relaxed ride at your pace. You'll ride a comfortable Dutch bike (helmet included), take a break along the way, and taste Bordeaux's iconic canelé.
