Things to do in Bordeaux

Although I haven't been a wine lover for long, I'd heard a lot about Bordeaux, so I signed up for a winery tour. Despite struggling with the hotter-than-expected weather, I was glad to gain valuable experience and useful knowledge. It was especially worthwhile to taste 3-4 types of wine and see the entire process from vineyard to production. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to explore Saint-Émilion at a leisurely pace. This seems to be due to the significant travel time, so perhaps next time I'll visit Saint-Émilion separately.

We did the half day Médoc wine tour and had a great experience. We were happy to have Maud as our guide again, and she was also our driver for the day. As usual she was very informative, friendly, and everything was well organised. Pickup was right on time which made the trip smooth and easy. Since we had visited Saint-Émilion the day before, it was really interesting to compare the wines from the right bank and the left bank. It made the experience even more enjoyable and educational. If you have the time, we would definitely recommend doing both tours to get the full Bordeaux wine experience. Highly recommend!

We had a really great experience on this tour. Maud was such a nice lady, and she was both our guide and driver for the day. She was very friendly, informative, and shared lots of interesting insights along the way. Everything was smooth and well organised, and pickup was perfectly on time. The whole day felt easy, comfortable, and relaxed. Overall we truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Great visit, the museum was interactive with many types of exhibits. The ticket also came with a free wine at the rooftop which had a good view of the city.

We really enjoyed the Garonne river sightseeing cruise. The 1 hour and 30 minutes actually felt too short because the lady guide was so informative and engaging. We learned so much about Bordeaux in such a short time, which made the experience very worthwhile. The wine and canelé were a lovely extra touch and made the trip feel even more special. Highly recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Bordeaux for the first time. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable way to see the city from a different perspective.
