Guadalupe is who you want, as your tour guide. We did a small group walking tour of Bordeaux with her. She is so pleasant, so upbeat, so knowledgeable about her city. We learned a lot about Bordeaux's history in a way that was really fun. She is also a wine and food expert.
A very pleasant and complete tour. You can tell that Guadeloupe likes his work and does it very well. The two hours have made us very enjoyable despite the cold that it was today
Explanations adapted to all types of audiences, entertaining, interactive. Recommendations regarding restaurants
super fun tour, full of enthusiasm she has provided this. Was in English well understood, very clear, a nice little company, in short it was very well taken care of.
We met Guadeloupe for a two hour tour of the city’s highlights, and it was such fun—it went by too quickly! This tour didn’t feel “touristy”; it was an authentic introduction to the city that really helped us get the lay of the land for the rest of our trip. Guadeloupe’s love of the city and its rich history was infectious, and we made unexpected friends of other visitors on the tour we spent time with during our stay in Bordeaux. An added bonus is that Guadeloupe is a sommelier, so be sure to ask for her favorite wine spots or do a tasting with her!
