Perfect weekend! - Beautiful city and so many beautiful buildings to see , atmosphere and festive moment near the markets . Only negative, too many incivilities from cyclists, they respect nothing!

A good walk and a lot of information - Bruno was an excellent guide, amusing and knowledgeable. Tour given in French and English. Would have preferred less time listening to information on the river at the start, which was perhaps 20 minutes, and instead heard more about the history of the buildings and monuments. Learned a lot on this tour and very pleased to have been ion it. Thank you, Bruno.

Good intro into city sights - Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Patiently answered all questions. Loved learning about the history. Would wish for it to cover some more sights such as the Chathedral. Same guide speaks in both English and French so it makes the tour slow.

Great Tour, very detailed - Very good tour, really enjoyed it. Tour in French & English. Very relaxed and informative. Ear phones provided. Sometimes difficult to ask a question during tour, as tour guide went into auto-pilot!

It was okay - I’ve gone on many walking tours during my travels. I would have to say that this was the least satisfying. Al, our tour guide was excellent, a native of Bordeaux. The information throughout the tour was delivered in French and English. I would have to say it was about 2/3 French and 1/3 English. I understand why - French is his native language and the group had a sizable number of French people.There was more conversations & jokes shared & understood among them. Aside from that, I appreciated the explanation of the symbolism in the statuary and fountains and how the tram was built.
