Great Tour With Engaging Sophia - Just completed a first rate 3 walking tour with engaging Sophia, a UK expate now French citizen and Bordeaux local. She couldn't be a better mix - English native speaker with French fluency and a converts enthusiasm for her new home. The tour was a mix of interesting history, local custom, engaging conversation and a local's knowledge of what and where to buy that which is special to the region. We have been on many private tours in several countries in Europe/Asia and this tour was near the top. We highly recommend Sophia to guide you through the charm that Bordeaux offers.

Warm, engaging and highly knowledgeable guide - I would really recommend this tour with Sophia. It was like meeting up with an old friend who was proudly showing us her beloved city. Sophia was warm, engaging and highly knowledgeable about Bordeaux. We learned a lot and we were especially interested to hear about the process of Bordeaux’s ‘rejuvenation’ over the last 20-30 years, as well as insights into local life and culture, not to mention sampling local sweets specialties! This tour is excellent value and a great way to immerse yourself in Bordeaux.

My wife and I arrived in... - My wife and I arrived in Bordeaux early before our river cruise and we wanted to explore the city. Walking with Sophia is a wonderful way to get to know Bordeaux. As we walked along the various streets, Sophia's explanations and insights helped us understand the history, economics, and culture of the city. In addition, when Sophia learned that we were considering a light dinner of wine and cheese after the tour, she took us to her favorite fromagerie and boulangerie to make that happen. We highly recommend this tour.

Sophia is a tour guide gem. Her knowledge and communication capacities made a wonderful experience. - It was important to learn about the history of Bordeaux. There is more to Bordeaux than wines, although they are amazing. A very detailed explanation of the citie’s history for a 2 hour tour.

Informative & Fun Tour - Sophia was an excellent tour guide with a passion for Bordeaux and its rich history. She was enthusiastic, welcoming and wanted to make the best out of our experience. She reached out ahead of time to make sure that she was covering what we wanted to see on the tour. Throughout the tour she was highly interactive and happy to answer all of our questions. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Bordeaux. Sophia’s passion and hospitality was a breath of fresh air and I am very pleased that we booked this tour with her. Thank you!!!

What a great walk! - A very pleasant walking tour! Sophia is a native ENGLISH speaker, which was fantastic (a recent tour had a “English” speaking guide no one could understand). She has lived locally for a long time, and took us around town with great history lessons. We went to the best shops for our favorite foods and she helped us order what we wanted. Super nice and friendly, Sophia’s tour was the highlight of our visit to Bordeaux.
