A morning very well spent. Excellent tour. Highly recommend! - Emma gave us an excellent tour of the old city of Bordeaux. Emma is enthusiastic and engaging. We spoke mostly English and a little French. Emma answered all our questions very well. Emma provided historical context on the historical sites, and gave local tips on the modern city. That helped us fill the rest of our day which was a bonus. We only had 1. 5 days in Bordeaux. Thanks to this tour we feel like we really got the most out of it.

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! :)
