An ideal activity to do as a couple or with friends to visit Bordeaux in an original way and for lovers of good food. Isabelle was a great guide, passionate and very friendly who made us discover many authentic places. A big thank you to her!! This food tour is also a great gift idea
Merci beaucoup pour avoir pris le temps d’écrire ce témoignage. C’est adorable. Ravie de vous avoir rencontré et j’espère vous revoir très bientôt
Outstanding 3+ hour tour with an enchanting guide in Ricardo. Coffee, chocolate tasting, local fruit, local bread, cheese, a lunch, all while learning about this beautiful and fascinating city. The highlight, in my mind, was the local market (they sell everything, and everything is fresh) where we had a cheese tasting (smoked Comte is a new favorite). A very worthwhile tour and we’ve taken them everywhere. Highly recommend this operator and Ricardo as a guide!

We had a really great time with Caz! There were only two of us, so it felt like a private tour. Caz was very knowledgeable and engaging, giving us lots of fun historical facts, anecdotes and interesting trivia about Bordeaux, some of its architecture and of course food and wine!! Meandering through the historical parts of the city, we tasted a variety of local specialties: coffee, cheese, chocolate, bread, chocolatine, canelé, wines as well as a delicious entree in a restaurant. We highly recommend this tour if you’re a foodie visiting Bordeaux for the first time!
Oh so lucky we are you wrote this so kind review! Thank you so much for us , for Caz and for our future guests
