Customer Reviews
Our tour in Bordeaux was so much fun! We walked through the city with Antwan and had an amazing time. He has lived in the city for years and knows all of the best places. We learned so much about the history of this 2000 year old city. Antwan also helped us to understand the layout of the city so that later we could go back and feel more confident walking alone the next day. He introduced us to shop owners who taught us lessons on wine and chocolates and pastries. I highly recommend that you take this tour on your first day here to make the most of the city!
