Great knowledge and tour - Meeting spot was easy to find. We covered some ground but guide made sure everyone was accommodated. Nothing can get better than hitting a French bakery as they are taking the croissants hot out of the oven!!!

Guide to a hidden Bordeaux - The Tour was truly fantastic, it was full of interesting information and Sylvie made Bordeaux come alive. The food and wine was tasty and each stop exciting. I feel I got to know Bordeaux well. I would highly recommend Sylvie and this tour to all.

Must do - The tour was amazing! We tried so much food! Don’t eat before you go! I speak French but went with my best friend that only speaks English and it was so nice for her to be able to understand! All the items that we tried were so good! We learned lots of history and fun facts along the way! The workers at each stop were great!
Our tour guide was maybe Cecile or Cecily? Sylvie? Sadly, I can’t remember but she was very very good at her job!

Excellent tour - Silvy was great. She chose the best spots and made the 3 h tour very interesting . She was knowledgeable and professional. We learned about the history of the city and the food. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Try to take this tour in the beginning of your trip. This way you have some knowledge.

Phone maps don’t always work - Had a little difficulty finding meeting location. Had to call the reservation company and they did assist us and contacted the tour guide, who thankfully waited 15 minutes for us to arrive.
Tour was great!

Amazing way to see Bordeaux! - Joshua was an amazing host, very friendly and knowledgeable about Bordeaux. The cheese and wine were our favourite parts of the tour. The local establishments were very passionate about their businesses. Well worth doing!

Sybaritic Bordeaux - Strolled through the streets of old Bordeaux with Sylvia who took us to her favorite places. Everything we sampled was exquisite including the pastries (chocolatine, canele), cheeses (5), chocolates (5), croque monsieur, mini cream puff, and two local wines. Better than any of the culinary tours we did last summer in Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest, or Vienna.
