# Private - Best of Bordeaux Walking Tour + Glass of Bordeaux Wine

**Guidekin's take:** A private walk for your party only past the Gothic cathedral, the water mirror and the neoclassical theatre plus a few lesser known corners, ending with a glass of natural Bordeaux wine. Two tiers set the length; the wine bar opens late afternoon and closes two days a week, and monuments are not entered. 4.93 from 242 reviews at €125 per person.

**Own guide on foot?:** Choose the short Best of Bordeaux option at €125 per person: private walk, wine when the bar opens; two to book. 4.93, 242 reviews. Trade-off: Per person, two minimum; monument entries extra. (last checked September 22, 2026)

In our comparison: #2 of 9 in Walking & City Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
