Two or three hour tiers; other food, drinks and the small entry fees for museums and the Porte Cailhau are extra. 4.97 from 37 reviews at €82 per person. ## Overview Bordeaux is more than a beautiful city, it's a place I've proudly called home for the past 9 years. This isn't a scripted tour. It's a personal experience where I'll share not only Bordeaux's history, architecture, and local legends, but also my own journey of discovering the city and the places that made me fall in love with it. As we explore together, we'll go beyond the famous landmarks to uncover hidden gems, local favorites, and the little details that most visitors miss. My goal is for you to leave feeling like you've experienced Bordeaux with a local friend rather than simply followed a guide. On this tour, you'll enjoy: A private experience Bordeaux's iconic landmarks, history, and fascinating stories Hidden gems away from the usual tourist routes A tasting of two beloved local specialties: a traditional Canelé and a delicious Dune Blanche A passionate local guide who loves sharing the city with visitors I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the Bordeaux I love. ## Before you book - Meeting point: I will be in the center of the square… - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 11 start times: between 09:30 and 17:00 - Food not included: Food and drinks(other than the offered… - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted ## Key facts - Price: from €82 per person - Duration: 2h–3h - Rating: 4.97/5 from 37 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Wanderer Footsteps - Tours & Activities in Bordeaux - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## 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 | |---|---|---|---| | Option 1 : 2 Hours | €82 / person (for 2+ people) | Arabic, French, English, Italian | - | | Option 2 : 3 hours | €115 / person (for 2+ people) | Arabic, French, English, Italian | Duration: 3 hours | ## What's included - Happiness, Joyful times, great experience! :D - A Canelé and a Dune blanche per person - Guide - Customized to match your interests and pace. ## Not included - Food and drinks(other than the offered Canalé) are not included in the tour - Entrance Fees to Museums (5 Euros) and to Bordeaux's old gates Porte Cailhau (5 Euros) ## Itinerary 1. **Place de la Bourse** (15m) - Bordeaux's most amazing square with the fountain in the middle and a beautiful view towards the Garonne river and the stone bridge.
