Upon arriving in Bordeaux last Thursday, we took a two hour walking tour with Mark. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux. After the tour, I felt that we had a much better understanding of the city and its history. Mark also shared his restaurant suggestions with us which were excellent. His tour was extremely interesting and informative. Finally, not only was the tour great, but Mark facilitated an option for all of us to get back to Paris while there was a train strike. Had he not come to our rescue, we would not have been able to get back to Paris and other vacation plans would have been cancelled. Thank you so very much!

This was one of the best tours I have been on anywhere. Our tour guide was fun, interesting and knowledgeable. We were never rushed and the amount and breadth of information was impressive. He also took the time to point out small details.

We had a fantastic 3 hour tour with Emma. We talked and wandered through side streets, stopped for a canalé, learned interesting history and facts about the city, and came away with a genuine Bordeaux experience from a local resident. Emma spoke in both French and English (as we had requested)! Thank you Emma for sharing your city with us.
