The 10 Best Walking Tours in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

September 7, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

After many years of hard work, the "Sleeping Beauty" has awoken from its slumber. The city is beautifully restored and has an ultra-modern public transport system. The “Port of the Moon” is also now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Stone Bridge, with its 17 arches, crosses the Garonne, offering pedestrians a lovely view over the docks and harbor. Take a stroll through old Bordeaux in the Triangle d'Or and stop at Place des Quinconces, France’s largest public square. The city of Bordeaux is an ideal base for exploring the greater wine region’s unforgettable sights and tastes.

We had a lovely afternoon with Nicola visiting the Medoc region. We saw two wineries and had fun tasting and touring. Our kids also enjoyed the experience. The service was impeccable- our driver stopped off for us to buy lunch and other shopping. Highly recommend this experience.

Our Bordeaux food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of Bordeaux. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities. Do Eat Better tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing French culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

It was all around incredible. It is easy enough to get to with public transport. The chateau and gardens are absolutely beautiful. The tour is done privately, so it was just us and the guide, she told us plenty really interesting family about the house, the family the grounds and the decorations. The making of the wines was also explained. And the wine tasting was great, the wine they make is really good. We absolutley loved every minute of the visit and can't think of a single thing to complain about.

I strongly recommend wine course in Les Ateliers de Bacchus. I had a full day workshop with lovely Pauline. She has incredible knowledge and experience, she’s very nice, friendly and she’s a great and very experienced teacher. I had a lovely time there and learned a lot!! As an example of what I learned I could mention: wine tasting techniques, methods of wine production, wine label reading, French wines and vineyards, wine and food pairing. Thank you, Pauline so much!
