Flexible and kind - Emma did a great job! She is friendly and knowledgeable. She was also very adaptable, which I especially appreciated because I took the tour with my father-in-law in his 70s and my 1 year old daughter. Emma was very generous with her time, flexible and kind.

A very Informative Walking Tour of Bordeaux - We had a walking tour with Emma who was a lovely guide and she gave us a lot of information whilst we were shown the historic sights of Bordeaux. We learned of the history which was fascinating. She not only walked us around the sights she also gave us tips on cycling and where to visit to eat and to shop. Following the tour which we really enjoyed she was kind enough to message me with a list of restaurants, shops, sights etc as I would never have remembered them otherwise! This was more than expected as she really didn't have to do this. She also let me practice my French and she was very patient. I would recommend the tour as it gives you a better idea of where to go and what to do in the city. We got the tram back to the airport purely because Emma told us about it being direct (and only 1.90Euros each!) and we found using it so easy too. Also the bikes to hire around the river Gironde was something we possibly might not have realised was so easy to do. There are tracks all around the edge and she told us about this too. So if you go to Bordeaux I would definitely not hesitate to recommend this tour. Merci bien Emma! :)

A walk around Bordeaux with Emma. An experience well worth doing. - Our guide, Emma, was a genuine & considerate young lady. Her knowledge of the history & architecture of her city was commendable. The facts about the city & its ‘gates’ were interesting. Walking around with Emma gave us an appreciation of the city that we didn’t have before. She obviously loves Bordeaux & we do too.

Great and informative - We had an excellent tour with Emma. It was small and personalized. It lasted a full two hours. She knew loads about the history of the city. We would’ve continued longer but by friend and I had Arrived in Bordeaux just that morning after 14 hours of travel and we’re getting a bit tired. Emma had great follow up and recommended spots and restaurants go check out, we really enjoyed ourselves!!

Worthwhile - Nice introduction to Bordeaux’s long history and captures all the major historical sites during the tour. Good touch with using her iPad to show us some pictures/drawings of how things used to be. We enjoyed ourselves despite the small rain showers!
