What to expect
Your guide meets you and steers the route around your preferences—whether that's architecture, food heritage or lesser-known backstreets. Expect to cover the showpiece sights: the cathedral's soaring Gothic stonework, the Water Mirror's vast reflection pool, the opera house's elegant proportions. But the real value is in the detours—small squares, wine merchants' quarters, the bits locals actually walk through. Your guide fills in the gaps with stories that explain why Bordeaux became what it is. After 2–3 hours on your feet, you'll sit with a glass of natural wine, talking it over.
