Vegetarian and chocolate stop tiers exist, and the route is wheelchair accessible. 4.97 from 418 reviews for 3h. **Built around you?:** Choose the standard food walk for bakery, cheese, charcuterie and wine at €112 per person; English only, menu varies. 4.97, 418 reviews. Trade-off: English only; menu varies with the group.

We provide the most personalized tours possible, meaning every tour we give is never the same. With the exception of a few must-try foods, the rest is built around YOU and what you're curious about tasting. Groups are kept small and led by an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Did you know baguettes are some of the worst bread in France and you should be asking for something else? Did you know there are seasons for cheese? Would you like to have someone explain the regions of French wine? Our guides can do this because they are former chefs, food writers, and wine experts - not a student who has memorized a script. You'll be strolling through Old Bordeaux, with its magnificent medieval architecture and cobblestone streets, sampling the best Bordeaux has to offer. We have selected only the highest quality shops to showcase and portion sizes are generous. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The day before your tour you will… - 4 start times: between 10:00 and 16:00 - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Age 12+: minimum age to join **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €112 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.97/5 from 418 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Bordeaux in Bites - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 10:00, 10:30, 12:30, 16:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-22 ## Reviews 4.97 from 418 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 416 of 418. - 5 stars: 408 (98%) - 4 stars: 8 (2%) - 3 stars: 2 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides and wine pairings; an isolated caveat concerns the amount of walking. **Praised:** - Guides who explain Bordeaux history alongside food and wine - Selecting cheese, charcuterie and bread from local shops - Explanations of how wines pair with the selected foods - Tastings substantial enough to replace a meal - Food choices tailored to group preferences and dietary needs **Complaints:** - Some find the walk easy, while isolated feedback notes a lot of walking Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2026-05-11 to 2026-10-02); last checked 2026-10-04. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Chocolate Stop Included | €112 / person | English | Meet at the Grand Theater: A stop at a 200-year-old chocolate shop replaces charcuterie.
