Frequently asked questions

What makes this tour different?

My audio tour guide caters to curious travelers and offers a perfect mix of Arcachon’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.

What makes you an expert on Bordeaux and the region?

I’ve been living in Bordeaux since 2017 and founded Lost in Bordeaux to share everything I love about this region. Over the years, I’ve explored every corner of the city and its surroundings—writing about its food, wine, history, and culture. I visit places like Arcachon and Saint-Émilion regularly, and I’ve built strong connections with locals, artisans, and winemakers. This tour is based on years of curiosity, research, and countless sunny walks!

I have a few days in Arcachon, when should I do the tour?

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.

What are the best days to do the tour?

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 Mondays.

How do I get the audio tour?

To start the tour, you’ll need to download an audio guide app and purchase the tour there.

How many people can do the tour together?

Each tour works on one phone only, so if you want it to operate on more than one mobile phone, please purchase additional tours.

What should I bring to the tour?

-Headphones
-A charged battery
-Water for hot days
-An umbrella for rainy days (there are many in the region)
-And most importantly, a bit of curiosity and a good mood! :)

How long does the tour take?

The tour should take about 90 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.

Do you also guide private tours?

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.
