The Bordeaux tour was A lovely walking introduction to the city. The guide Catherine was very knowledgeable and her sense of humour was amazing. On top of that she was conducting the tour in French and English, as the group was of mixed nationalities!

A good introduction to our first visit to Bordeaux. Or guide was able to swap from French to English so easily and frequently that it was good for both languages.

Excellent walking tour that gave a great insight into the city especially the architecture. Our guide Jean-Claude was brilliant.
