Experience the best of
Bordeaux with Withlocals

"Spending the day with Marina was lovely! Our group of four people (all adults aged 30 - 50 y.o.) had a great time learning about Bordeaux's culinary traditions, as well as the city's broader political and cultural history. Everything was paced very nicely with lots of little stops and discussions, and I think people of all ages would have a wonderful introduction to the city through Marina. She was very kind in making sure we could see lots of hidden gems throughout the city, so the three hours flew by. Marina has all sorts of recommendations for activities, shopping, and food outside of the tour, so if you need a little help planning the rest of your trip, she is a wonderful resource. "

"Marina sent a lovely pre-message to find out our interests and responded to our wants. She showed us a lot of historical buildings with stories of the past. We went into some beautiful locales that featured chocolate, sardines and a lovely multiuse building. She was fun and spirited and shared her unique background with us---a truly enjoyable experience. We highly recommend her--she was wonderful!"

"We had an amazing time with Marina. The tour was well thought of and catered to our needs. Marina adjusted the route to start near our hotel and to end at a location where we had another appointment. She was very engaging and provided information on other areas and foods we should try. She was also always available to answer any queries we had, even after the tour. "

"We had the pleasure of touring Bordeaux with Marina, and she truly made our experience unforgettable. She was incredibly attentive and adjusted the tour perfectly to fit our family's needs. Both of our children had an amazing time, as did we, the adults. Marina took us to a charming local winery/store for a wine tasting that felt intimate and special, far from the usual tourist spots. She also guided us through the city’s hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have discovered on our own. Marina’s knowledge and passion for Bordeaux made the tour both educational and fun. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized and enriching experience in this beautiful city."

"We had one day in Bordeaux and we are so glad we booked a highlights tour with Marina! She was a wonderful host. The tour was informative, fun, and just the right pace for our family of four. My two teen boys were entertained, we stopped for a couple of delicious local snacks along the way and learned so much about this beautiful city. Marina is a delight to be with, it's like walking around with a friend you've known for years. All around an excellent experience."

"Had such a lovely time with Marina. Was the perfect way to start our time in Bordeaux. She clearly had put a huge amount of time and effort in to making it right for us. Thank you so much Marina. It was really appreciated "

"Marina ensured the tour was at a pace which suited our group of 8. The information on the history of Bordeaux at the start of the tour provided a helpful background. Marina took us through a variety of streets and squares which gave a good insight of present and previous life in Bordeaux. Marina’s provided us with recommendations for places to visit at a later time, which we did on a few occasions. The tour was the perfect distance and provided us with the right amount of information "

"Marina was wonderful. She is so knowledgeable of Bordeaux. We had a wonderful time tasting wine and cheese and olives. She took us for a special ice cream treat. Plus some history of the beautiful buildings. Would highly recommend Marina!!"

"Marina was the perfect guide for our needs. Her English is excellent and she accommodated all our last minute requests. She understood what we wanted and delivered on all levels. She has a great knowledge of the area and gave us excellent tips, advice and recommendations. We would not have enjoyed Bordeaux as much if it was not for her walking tour which was interesting and fun and informative. Marina went above and beyond and helped us with information even after the tour ended. Thank you - highly recommend and we will recommend Marina to anyone wanting to explore Bordeaux. We went to St Emelion today on our own using her tips and we had a wonderful day. We spent a full day there and enjoyed every minute "

"With grace and knowledge Marina walked us through the downtown core of Bordeaux highlighting all the major iconic sites. She began the tour with a history of Bordeaux and the important Aquitaine region and showed us the map of the City and where we will walk and what we will see. It was a most educational tour and my wife and I strongly recommend Marina. "
