Such a fun and enjoyable way to get to experience Bordeaux.The car is such a classic and far more comfortable than expected. It’s quite beautiful and turns many heads as it drives by.
We had a wonderful tour with Cecilia and her beautiful 2CV! Cecilia manages everything so smoothly between driving and giving a tour full of interesting details. She adapted the route to our interests and even brought a birthday candle to add to the charm for my partner's birthday! Travelling by 2CV is a delight - it's pure nostalgia for people of our age who knew these cars as students, but you also get a panoramic view through the large windows. We highly recommend this tour as a real treat and for the pleasure of meeting Cecilia who is a brilliant guide.
The 2CV was such a charming way to see this charming city. Cecilia did a great job showing us the most beautiful spots in Bordeaux and was very knowledgeable. She even stopped to snap a picture and brought us wine and a French pastry!
What a pleasure this visit on board the mythical Citroën 2cv of Cécilia, I rediscovered the charm of the city in which I grew up with a superb itinerary!
Cecilia was a great hostess, she gave me information on the history of the car and the city. She pointed out different sites and brought me to some places I hadn’t seen already.
A complete visit of Bordeaux and such a unique idea. The guide was very passionate and it is a must see if you are visiting Bordeaux.
