The group was too large. Comparing it to a similar tour I took in Paris I think this had double the amount of people. It was done in both French and English which was great for my daughter who is learning French but gave us less time to see and learn about things because she had to say everything twice. If we had a smaller group in one language I think it would have been much better tour. The guide was very good.

This was more of a history/art lesson in the open than a walk. We actually did little walking however the information and insight into Bordeaux was brilliant! The guide interacted with each member on the tour which felt very inclusive and had an engaging way of relating facts. Personally, I think that it would work better to have the guide talk exclusively in one language. We started off with a mix of French and English which felt as though the english part was much reduced. Later, when he switched to english only, it was more engrossing for those of us who lack anything more than very basic french. Highly recommended!

The Bordeaux tour was A lovely walking introduction to the city. The guide Catherine was very knowledgeable and her sense of humour was amazing. On top of that she was conducting the tour in French and English, as the group was of mixed nationalities!
