Highlights

Visiting Bordeaux? Join Guadalupe, a local guide and other fellow travellers (small group) on a fun and interactive way of discovering the ancient city of Bordeaux. You will discover all the city highlights such as Cathédrale Saint-André, the main squares as Place Saint Projet and the famous Sainte Catherine street. Intrigued about the oldest part of Bordeaux? I will guide you through the narrow streets of the Medieval district. We will then visit Place de la Bourse to learn about the importance of the port, commerce and trade. Do not miss the Water Mirror, symbol of the city and the best place to take a memorable photo. The tour will end at Place de la Comédie, after explaining to you all about the Grand Théâtre. Bonus of the tour: I will share with you my personal recommendations of local restaurants, wine bars, markets and things to do during your stay.

About Bordeaux

Bordeaux, on the Garonne in south-west France, is a stone-fronted port city and the centre of one of the world's great wine regions.

The pale limestone façades of the eighteenth century give Bordeaux an elegant, even look, and the curve of the Garonne, the Port of the Moon, is part of its UNESCO listing. Place de la Bourse faces the river, and the Miroir d'eau, a shallow reflecting pool, mirrors it. The Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral with its separate Pey-Berland tower, and the long pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine make up the centre.

Top-ranked sights in Bordeaux: Place de la Bourse (Place Royale), Porte Cailhau, Grosse Cloche.
