Outstanding and tasty Bordeaux experience - This was a great and varied Bordeaux experience for 9 of us for our mum’s 80th birthday. Aurélien was an exceptional host and has build a fantastic experience with this trip. The visit to the boutiques and farmers market was lovely and the private boat trip was an awesome and very special experience to celebrate as a family. Couldn’t recommend this more! Just excellent

A unique and tasty experience in Bordeaux! - We had a great time thanks to Aurélien! It is an original, gourmet and friendly way to discover Bordeaux, its specialties and its history. The products were delicious, Aurélien’s passion and anecdotes made the visit lively and fun, and the view of Bordeaux from the Garonne was simply magnificent: a perfect mix to savour the city otherwise! Thank you again Aurélien for this delicious and authentic moment:)

A great time! - I had a great time during this visit with Aurélien, who puts at ease right away. The selection of market products was delicious and what a privilege to enjoy these good products on the water! Even after several years living in Bordeaux, I discovered new facets of its history and heritage. I highly recommend this tour for lovers of the good things in life!

Amazing ride delicious! - Thanks to Aurélien for this wonderful tour as interesting as it is fun! We start at the wine city with historical explanations and advance on the quays of Bordeaux. Very nice discovery of a local produce shop with beautiful tastings of products! Aurélien then takes us to the charming Chartrons market where it is difficult not to be tempted. We finish the tour with a long boat ride with a generous tasting of oysters, cheeses and cold cuts. Everything was absolutely “delicious” until the good mood of our guide, I highly recommend!

An excellent discovery - Many thanks to Aurélien for this superb visit of Bordeaux! Between the charm of the alleys, the monuments, the mini cruise on the Garonne and the gastronomic discoveries – melting canes, Bordeaux wines and local specialties – this getaway was a real treat for the eyes as for the taste buds. A beautiful break rich in history, landscapes, flavors and conviviality. Thank you again for this unforgettable moment!

A dream Sunday - This experience was truly exceptional. We learned a lot about local products from passionate people. We visited the market along the docks which is super cute where Aurélien selected the best local produce. Then we went to enjoy all this on an adorable boat. We were full of it and full of the gut. The views of Bordeaux from the Garonne have fallen. And Aurelien guided us with knowledge and humour throughout. Thank you!
