My audio tour guide caters to curious travelers and offers a perfect mix of Bordeaux’s famous landmarks, heritage sites, and hidden gems like specialty food shops and locals' favorite restaurants. Unlike a regular tour where you follow a guide and other people, here you’re completely independent. You can do the tour whenever you want, take breaks for lunch, buy souvenirs, or simply enjoy the charm of this beautiful city.
In 2018, I created the blog "Lost in Bordeaux," which has since become the leading website about Bordeaux in English. Since then, I have given many private and group tours and written hundreds of articles about Bordeaux and the region.
I recommend taking the tour as early as possible. Besides introducing you to the city, the tour provides many recommendations that will be useful during your stay.
You can do the tour any day, as it’s mostly outdoors. However, if you want to enjoy my recommendations like food shops and restaurants, be aware that many places in Bordeaux are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
To start the tour, you’ll need to download an audio guide app and use a unique code. After purchasing the tour, you will receive the code and instructions on how to use it via email.
Each tour works on one phone only, so if you want it to operate on more than one mobile phone, please purchase additional tours.
-Headphones
-A charged battery
-Water for hot days
-An umbrella for rainy days (there are many in Bordeaux)
-And most importantly, a bit of curiosity and a good mood! :)
The tour should take about 75 minutes if you don’t stop too much. However, since I suggest plenty of places along the way, you’ll likely want to stop at least once or twice. So, add at least half an hour to your tour.
I no longer guide tours in Bordeaux as I’m focused on creating more digital experiences like this tour. However, I have several guides I can recommend. Feel free to contact me if you need recommendations.
