Trade-off: English only; menu varies with the group. (last checked September 22, 2026) ## Overview We don't believe in "cookie-cutter" experiences and neither should you! 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 ## Key facts - Price: from €112 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.96/5 from 398 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 99% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Bordeaux in Bites ## 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.
