An excellent tour of Bordeaux, with a very good mix of history, stories, modern aspects and tasty cenele. The pacing was good and Saïd's recommendations for a cafe and (of course) a good wine shop turned out to be very good too.

My wife and I were the only guests on this tour. Said let us set the pace. He is very well versed in the history of Bordeaux and the key sites he chose for us to visit provided great backdrops for his broader history commentaries. Said is generous and personable. He was willing to go off script and answer our broader questions about France and life in Bordeaux. His English is perfect. We recommend this tour and should we return we would like to experience the other tours he offers.
