Guide carefully planned all the stops & was very informative about Bordeaux. Food & wine were very good. Avoid the alley shortcut.
Antoine was a great guide with a lot of knowledge of the city. The food was excellent and the city was beautiful. We only wish we had done this tour on our first day, so that we would have had a good overview to start our vacation. Thanks Antoine for keeping us cool on a hot day!
Antoine was our guide for this tour. My colleagues and I all come from different countries, and we were all very impressed by the food, but also absolutely delighted by the stories Antoine shared with us! He was such a storyteller and we fell in Love with Bordeaux and with Alienor and her story. 10/10 would recommend!
We had such a good time on our first night in Bordeaux. The food was amazing! Laura, our, guide was phenomenal. She provided great information for the rest of our stay.
Amandine guided us through very beautiful corners of the old town of Bordeaux; the food stops were fantastic (cheese/meat platter & Dunes Blanches) and very good (a restaurant specializing in duck dishes). Amandine is from Bordeaux and was able to provide many interesting insights about Bordeaux and its history.
Andrew was a great host, providing a good historic overview of the city as well as showing us some excellent food.
Being able to savour the tastes of Bordeaux while taking in the sights was a wonderful way to enjoy the French city! Andrew our guide had terrific anecdotes interwoven with the different foods. The people at the different stops were passionate about their produce which was infectious. It was well paced.
Antoine was our tour guide for Bordeaux food tour. He was on time and sent clear friendly messages to a meeting point that was easy to find. He has a laid back demeanour and you can tell he enjoys working with the public. Our tour had multiple amazing stops, but I'd love to highlight the dessert and the duck! It was incredible. Additionally, Antoine made recommendations along the way of other restaurants, bars, and areas of the city we should explore whilst in Bordeaux. I go on a food tour on most holidays, and this was one of the best. Definitely book with Antoine as he is FABULOUS. Love Mollie & Jack
Our guide was fantastic, however, having been to France many times, we did expect more from the food we experienced based on previous travels.
My wife and I had a great time on the tour. Lots of good food! We started with a quick wine tasting (3 wines) which was great and then we had a great local lunch and stopped at a couple spots for desserts after. Andy had some great stories and shared some great nuggets about the history of Bordeaux. It was our first day in Bordeaux and it was an ideal way to see and learn about the city
