This was by far the highlight of our trip to Bordeaux with a group of American university students! Christiane and her team gave us a very in-depth and interactive tour of Bordeaux; all of us learned a lot! Our weekend excursion would not have been nearly as great if we hadn't done this tour--visiting the city of Bordeaux by bike... More

taking the bike in bordeaux is a wonderful thing especially at night, you can feel how attractive this city is, more over the tour guide Clement gave us lots of information about the city that wouldn't be known in the tour guide book, if you go to Bordeaux, must try to take the bike in town^^

My husband and I made two tours with Bordeaux en velo and enjoyed both of them immensely. The city tour guided by Paulo introduced us to a Bordeaux not usually covered in standard guidebooks. Besides the accredited sights we were also introduced to interesting neighborhoods and every place we saw was anchored to a piece of history that illuminated the... More

Christiane is a wonderful guide! She's exceptionally knowledgable about the city, its people and history. Her delightful sense of humor made the ride exceptionally fun. If you are considering renting bikes in Bordeaux, I'd recommend taking a tour, first. The streets are so narrow and filled with pedestrians, cars, trams and scooters that biking can be daunting. After riding with... More

I am not the most confident biker in the world, even after Amsterdam and bike commuting in the States, but this city is really well equipped for biking around safely. The Velo club has tons of stations, tons o bikes to rent, and they are way affordable. Bike along the riverside up to the outlet mall and back and enjoy... More

We are hoping to go back and take a tour through wine country but this in-town option was definitely something to experience. You are riding through town and out to the outskirts of Bordeaux where there are a few vineyards (some still in operation, some not) We had Christiane all to ourselves and got a wonderful glimpse of old Bordeaux...

Our guide Lisa was German with excellent English and she gave us a great tour of the city on a Sunday morning. It was just the two of us so we were able to take our own pace and ask questions, have a chat. I'd definitely recommend it to get your bearings, learn some history and spot some places that... More

I am thinking/hoping the guide was new at this - boring facts, no personality, and couldn't answer most questions we had. Based on the other reviews you should make sure you do a day tour with the master tour guide, as this young french woman, while nice, didn't give us our money's worth. I think I could do a better...
