Overview

Bordeaux is more than a beautiful city, it's a place I've proudly called home for the past 9 years.

This isn't a scripted tour. It's a personal experience where I'll share not only Bordeaux's history, architecture, and local legends, but also my own journey of discovering the city and the places that made me fall in love with it.

As we explore together, we'll go beyond the famous landmarks to uncover hidden gems, local favorites, and the little details that most visitors miss. My goal is for you to leave feeling like you've experienced Bordeaux with a local friend rather than simply followed a guide.

On this tour, you'll enjoy:

A private experience
Bordeaux's iconic landmarks, history, and fascinating stories
Hidden gems away from the usual tourist routes
A tasting of two beloved local specialties: a traditional Canelé and a delicious Dune Blanche
A passionate local guide who loves sharing the city with visitors

I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the Bordeaux I love.
