"Bordeaux by bicycle: a 3-hour tour immersive experience"
Description
Forget the typical guided tour — this is a ride with a friend who happens to know every corner of Bordeaux. For 3 hours, you'll pedal through UNESCO-listed streets, colourful neighbourhoods, and along the Garonne with a local guide who genuinely loves this city. Our guides come from different backgrounds, each with their own stories, favourite spots, and personal recommendations. They're not reading a script — they're sharing their city with you. Ask anything. Where do locals eat? Which wine bar is worth the detour? Great conversations, real tips, and stories you'll retell at dinner. Groups stay small — up to 12 guests per guide — no megaphones, no rushing, just a relaxed ride at your pace. You'll ride a comfortable Dutch bike (helmet included), take a break along the way, and taste Bordeaux's iconic canelé.

Joshua was our tour guide today, 26/06/2026, we were late to arrive at “the shed” due to taxi not arriving. He handled our delay with kindness and we set off on an excellent tour of Bordeaux. Going by bicycle is an excellent way to truly grasp the geography and historical significance of Bordeaux. Bravo et Merci Joshua

Great visit with Flavie. The pace was well suited to the heat with breaks to refill your water bottle. It is evident that Flavie, the guide, is passionate about history and Bordeaux. Good varied route and good anecdotes, even for locals of Bordeaux. The 3 hours pass quickly!
Romain, Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le parcours, les anecdotes historiques et le rythme adapté à la chaleur. Flavie sera très touchée par vos mots sur sa passion pour Bordeaux. C’est un plaisir de savoir que même les Bordelais découvrent encore leur ville avec nous. Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt pour une nouvelle balade !
