What to expect
Your guide will navigate you through key historical sites and quarters, but without the usual race between landmarks. Expect detailed conversations about why certain streets matter, what buildings once housed, and which local spots matter to people who live here year-round. You'll pause for a drink and a taste of something Bordeaux does well—whether that's a pastry, wine-related treat, or just good coffee. The walking is gentle and manageable; accessibility is built in throughout. By the end, you'll have genuine local knowledge: which café to book weeks ahead, what souvenir actually means something, and how to think about the city beyond its famous wine châteaux.
