If you are headed to... - If you are headed to Bordeaux, don’t sleep on this pass!! It covered all public transportation (tram was super easy to use). It even covered a number of museums - the Wine Museum was amazing. It allows discounted activities as well - we rode the Ferris wheel at the Christmas Market for 1/2 price.

We have to go to Bordeaux - It is a city that catches, with a beautiful history;, the city pass, it is a matter of reckoning, we came great, also now you can enter the city I came at any time you want, use tram, which saves you a lot of time, and the tourist train under reservation, and bassin de Lkmieres although it is a little disappointing by inside, you have to see it, the logical thing would be to project the history of the war and the use of it by submarines.

My friends & I bought the... - My friends & I bought the 48-hour pass and it was well worth the money. We were able to take advantage of a number of the included places & activities. The most memorable for me were the Cite du Vin and Bassins de Lumieres. City buses and the Tram system were very easy to use. The price was a bargain!

Bordeaux City pass...it may be right for you! - We purchased the City Pass to take advantage of all the attractions included in the Pass. Unfortunately, we ended up being a little limited due to health reasons but what we did get to, we enjoyed very much. We saw La Cité du Vin, Bassins des Lumières, boat tour on the Garrone river, Pey-Berland Tower (exterior only, could not get a time slot to climb it). We were also unable to partake in the Bordeaux Wine Tasting Workshop, which was sold out during the 72 hours our card was valid. Before purchasing this versatile card, you should calculate just how many attractions you could attend in the allotted time, to see if it makes financial sense. And at peak tourist season, I suspect those requiring a reservation could be easily sold out. One great thing the card includes is free urban public transport, which can really save you some money if you use it for all your local travels, as we did. And the tram system is fantastic! Ligne B was our favorite, as the Grand Théâtre stops along Cr de l'Intendance were just a short walk from our hotel! Clean, quiet and never a long wait, they were our favorite way of getting around Bordeaux. And the clanging of their bells just sings Bordeaux!!

Worth it if you're doing the galleries etc. - Worth the money if you plan on going to the various attractions to which the card entitles you. Bordeaux is easily walked so I never used the public transport which is included (and excellent).

3 day Bordeaux City Pass - We used the 72 hours city Pass on trams and buses. We visited Cite Du Vin, Bassins de Lumierres, Musee du Vin and trades and some other museums. It's really worth it !!

Indispensabel during a first visit - This pass is absolutely advisable during a first visit to Bordeaux. It has several advantages that can be found on the site that presents this map. She was very helpful.

Necessary - This card, whenever you go 2 or 3 days to Bordeaux , you have to take them, 24 or 48h that already, you have to take note, but just by entering 2 or 3 museums, riding the tourist train or all the trips of trams and bus, you are interested, and especially the comfort of having it and not being aware of having to buy tickets every time you take a tram, which in our case were many, because we stayed away from the center

Interesting but not cheap - Interesting to be able to use public transport with it. Not cheap though and therefore you add as many included visits as possible to get something out of it but there is not much interesting to visit in Bordeaux outside the Cité du Vin. For the hop on hop off you still have to pay extra but you get a discount. Also look carefully when you do your first activity because then the hours start to run. Such a system per 24 hours is not that interesting because at night you do nothing with it, they would better take a break at night so you can do more with your pass.

Embarrassing attention at tourist office - Don't go. Shame on the attention they give the Spaniards. They trick you into buying the card they say and they activate it for you. Conclusion you can't use it the next day because they activate it for you. Not you when you want. You're going to claim and with saying I explained you're stuck with a card for which you pay for a dough and take it as a souvenir.
