Excellent Bordeaux historic and culinary Tour - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Bordeaux. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Bordeaux, and we saw a bunch of incredible buildings with fascinating architecture and learned so much about Bordeaux and its culture. There were wonderful surprise stops along the way to eat local cheeses, seafood, chocolates and then finished at a local French wine bar. There was great energy and excitement in the tour and I’m glad I chose to do it. A must when visiting Bordeaux. Highly recommend.

An outstanding tour with Simona!! - Simona was very knowledgeable about the history of Bordeaux. We visited lovely businesses for a wonderful flavor of the city; canneles, cheese, chocolates, wine and oysters! We tried our first oysters ever at the restaurant she chose for us! She was sweet and kind and spoke English fluently, which we appreciated!

An incredible gourmet experience! - Bonner Travel Food Tour is a must do experience if you visit Bordeaux! Our family of five recently did this tour and it was a highlight for everyone. During the tour we heard intriguing stories about the city's rich history and had the opportunity to experience the incredible local cuisine. Our informative guide Helen led us through hidden gems around the city where we got to sample wonderful produce and delicious local wines. Over the course of three hours we ambled through the cobbled streets, tasting the delicacies of the area and gaining an insight into the local way of life. It was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend it!

The perfect way to experience Bordeaux - Even though it was a public holiday in France on the 8th May our guide Helen gave us a fantastic tour. We experienced an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting at 'Oliviers & Co' and who knew there was so much variety. Then we moved onto fish tasting at 'la belle-iloise' before ending with wine and cheese at world wine store and art gallery 'Feral'. This all mixed in with visits to shops selling local sweet treats Caneles, Dunes Blanches and Classic Moyen's and much much more. It was a fantastic day and we wouldn't have experienced the history of the city without Helen's help. 10 out of 10 and we look forward to returning to Bordeaux one day soon

Great Experience in Bordeaux with Frances - What a tour!!!! Fantastic experience in Bordeaux with Frances. Went to the Marche De Capucine, and loved wandering around the quirky streets off the beaten path. Also visited the French Chocolatier and the magnificent cathedral and just felt that you truly experienced a real taste of France.
