Interesting!!! - Nice visit, very nice guide. The bilingual visit lengthens the visit time a little which is not disturbing. I recommend.

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!

St Emillion and Bordeaux wine making - Our tour guide Carol was excellent. She explained the history of the region and wine making. Worth the trip. We really enjoyed it.

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.

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.

DO NOT GO ON THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE ENGLISH!! - DO NOT GO ON THIS IF YOU ARE ENGLISH! It says bilingual tour but it’s very much a French tour with a side of English. They go into much more depth in French and then give you a rushed overview in English whilst you move to the next location. You are left standing and waiting for the majority of the 2 hours listening to French. Do not recommend spending you morning on this tour. It is not bilingual - definitely book an English only tour with someone else.
