Our Bordeaux guide Jerome was excellent! He not only arranged wine tastings at 3 interesting vineyards, he also was very knowledgeable about Bordeaux and entertaining. We highly recommend others to book a tour with him!

I enjoyed this walking tour with Said. His explaining of the key monuments and history behind each was great, the pace was just right and we certainly covered a lot of territory. Said's love of Bordeaux really comes through and he has so many interesting stories and bits of information that time flies. I am very glad I did this tour.

We recently did a family/friends group walking tour with Saïd of Your Friend in Bordeaux Tours. This was a well organized tour with excellent communication from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and spoke four languages! We really enjoyed the balance between information and exploration. We saw at least 11 major sites in Bordeaux, and was an excellent introduction to the city. Our guide, even arranged for a surprise, treat during our walking tour. We would highly recommend this guide, and this company for your tours in Bordeaux.

Said is a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide. In this 2 hrs, he took me around the city of Bordeaux and shared interesting facts and details about the city. The tour was great, walking at ones own pace. I did the day tour but it might be worth seeing the city lit up in the night. Highly recommend the tour, it’s a great way to see and learn more about the city.
