Great tour!

Clara was a great tour guide. She had lots of facts and information and took us to try cannele, ice cream and cake and wine tasting. All were delicious and she had lots of local knowledge and recommendations that she shared afterwards so we could make the most of our short break in Bordeaux. Merci Clara!
