Excursion Deluxe Bordeaux Shore au départ du port de croisière Le Verdon

Very nice overview of Bordeaux, which is about 2 hours away from the cruise port. Our tour guide, Camila, was engaging and personable. She did a good job of making sure everyone kept up and could hear her (she did use a mic). There is a good amount of free time for you to grab a lunch and do a little shopping. I would love to come back and experience more of Bordeaux in the future!

Camilla did a good job although at times it was hard to hear her unless you were walking directly behind her or if she stopped . Suggestion is to just pay for the shuttle bus into Bordeaux and then do the tour on your own (using chat GPT tour itenerary - you would see more, as the larger group slows you down).

The bus was right off the ship and easy to find. The meetup at the end was a little confusing, as the guide wasn't exactly where I thought she was meant to be. The tour includes a couple of miles of walking before a 1 hour break for free-time. The buildings and landmarks are beautiful. The guide (Camilla) was knowledgable and friendly. I feel comfortable booking tours through Viator.

We were picked up at our cruise port which was nice. Tour gave us a good overview of Bordeaux; just wish we would have had a bit more “free” time as we ended up with just one hour after our walking tour finished. Camilla our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of her history. Bus was very comfortable.

Tour and Emma, the tour guide were fabulous! Emma shared many historical and interesting facts and made it fun. The busses sucked! The first one broke down halfway to the destination we were transferred to another bus. On return confusing to find the right bus then had to change seats 3 times due to broken seats.

Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging — in two hours of walking we came away with a solid sense of the city's history and layout. If the tour were only the walking portion, this would be an easy four or five stars. One avoidable frustration: for whatever reason, she was the only one of the three guides in our group without a microphone. The other two had them, and ours had to project over street noise, so those of us toward the back missed parts of what she said. Not her fault, but an easy fix on the operator's end. The rest of the problems were logistical. The listing describes a group of up to 35, but three full buses were shuttling people in. The walking groups were reasonably sized once we split up, but the scale of the operation delayed our arrival in the city, and we waited more than 20 minutes past our stated meet-up time before anything happened. The bus itself was in poor condition: visibly dirty, with a strong mildew smell, and several broken seats that left people cramped for the whole ride. Finally, the roughly two hours of free time afterward sounds generous but isn't. If you want an unhurried lunch and any shopping, it's not enough — the city is simply too big for both. Anyone who'd rather browse and explore at their own pace might do better skipping the guided tour entirely. This is a hard port either way given the distance from the ship to the center.

Kaz was super cool!! His energy was evident from the time we left the dock. He spoke continuously for well over an hour on the route to Bordeaux. While in Bordeaux, at every point of interest, he spoke in depth. He’s the type of tour guide whose voice was not monotone, meaning he keeps your attention. He’s very knowledgeable about his subject matter. He kept our attention with his levity and more-so, the information he’s relaying. A definite 11 out of 10!

Guide - Jan - was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about her city. Travel to and from port was very lengthy but the tour of the city was very thorough ending with an optional wine flight and cheese tasting which was lovely.

The guides were amazing and on time but the bus is very old and dirty.

Emma is detailed oriented, very knowledgeable. It’s an exceptional experience. Thank you!
