Description
Discover Bordeaux's old town on a guided walking tour. Learn about the city's history and wine trade, taste a canelé from a local bakery, and enjoy a wine tasting at a local shop.
Meet your guide in Bordeaux's old town and set off on a walking tour that combines history, food, and wine. Walk through centuries-old streets, past merchant houses, historic churches, and hidden courtyards, while your guide explains how the city grew rich on the wine trade and what that history actually looked like.
Along the way, stop to taste a canelé, the small caramelized cake Bordeaux is quietly obsessed with, fresh from a local bakery. A little further on, pause at a wine shop tucked into one of the old streets, where you can taste wine straight from the window, poured by someone who actually knows the bottles on the shelf.
Keep walking through more of the historic center, and listen to your guide explain what you're looking at and why it still stands. Finish with a proper meal, lunch or dinner depending on the time of day, at a place your guide eats at themselves, where you can relax and talk over what you've seen.
