Bordeaux Private Walking Tour with Local Guide – Custom Experience

Summary

Personalized Bordeaux City Tour: Insider Tips & Hidden Spots

You’ll see Bordeaux through a local’s eyes—discovering secret corners, learning how to get around, and picking up real tips you won’t find in any guidebook. It’s relaxed, flexible, and all about what interests you.

What’s the experience like?

We kicked off our Bordeaux adventure right from the doorstep of our hotel—no need to hunt for a meeting point. Our guide, Camille, greeted us with a quick rundown of the day’s options, but honestly, we just let her lead the way. The morning air smelled faintly of fresh bread from the boulangerie next door. As we wandered through Saint-Pierre’s narrow lanes, she pointed out little details I’d never have noticed alone—like the faded blue street signs and that tiny wine bar tucked behind Place du Parlement.

Camille didn’t just stick to the big sights. Sure, we passed the Grosse Cloche and peeked at the reflecting pool by Place de la Bourse (it was busy with kids splashing around), but she also showed us where locals actually go for coffee—Le Café Piha had this nutty aroma drifting out onto the street. She even gave us tips on which trams to take if we wanted to explore Chartrons later. By midday, I felt like I could find my way back without Google Maps. The whole thing felt more like hanging out with a friend than being on a tour.
