Great value for a couple of days - An easy choice if you want to visit a few museums and wine related options. Tram and bus network can get you around also so it is really convenient. Great value when taking a few tours - river boat, wine museum, world of wine included

Get your pass TODAY!! - If you are going to Bordeaux I would highly recommend this pass. Unlike larger cites (Paris for one} the tram system is easy to use and very clean and efficient. Plus it gets you into all the places that you want to see. Even though I only had two days to use a 3 day pass (I gave it away to a local) I am very happy to have had it. And, the woman at the Tourist Bureau was VERY friendly and helpful.

Excellent value - highly recommended!! - The City Pass is a great idea if you are being a tourist and want to visit the sights. I bought the 72 hour one and felt that it represented excellent value, especially since it includes entrance to the Cité du Vin and the Bassins des Lumières. Don't miss out on the guided visits which are included - the one at the Palais Rohan was excellent and the river cruise very enjoyable!

Excellent value for money - The pass is an excellent choice. I rarely buy these city passes as they don't always offer a good value for money but this one does. We took the 3-day one and on top of free transport we were able to visit loads of places. Some need pre-booking (Tour Pey-Berland is one of them) but you can do this online.

Bordeaux Pass is good value for money - Bordeaux Pass works on all trams and buses and a number of museums and other places of interest. We had a 72 hour pass and made up the cost (€59 pp) in no time.

Nice tourist office - The tourist office is centrally located near the Opera. When we visited in July it was open Mon-Sat 9.00 to 18.30 and Sun 9.30 to 17.00.
A large selection of brochures is offered and also it is possible to buy the Bordeaux City Pass which was our main reason to visit. Included in the City Pass is a guided tour and a very friendly and helpful team member made the necessary reservations for us.
Several different souvenirs are also offered in the gift shop here.

A must for any tourist in Bordeaux - The City Pass entitles you to entry to La Cité du Vin, Les Bassins des Lumières and more than 15 museums. In addition to public transport throughout the city. It's very worth it.
