Enjoyed it very much but being able to walk continuously for over an hour would be great for everyone involved. Not driving down those who want to see with wheelchairs etc





クルーズの乗客向けに設計されたこのツアーでは、ル・ヴェルドン港から「リトル・パリ」まで、ボルドーの素晴らしい街を巡ります。 豊かな歴史、優雅な建築、世界的に有名なブドウ畑で知られ、フランスで最も有名なワイン産地の中心地です。 ボルドーの美しく保存された旧市街は車両通行禁止のため、到着後はガイドが市内の主要観光スポットを散策します。 有名なサンタンドレ大聖堂を眺めたり、街のシンボルであるブール広場を散策したり、ボルドーで最も撮影されるスポットの1つである水の鏡を見たりすることができます。 200年以上にわたって文化の中心であり続けている新古典主義様式の劇場、グラン・テアトルに立ち寄りましょう。 ガイドの後は、お店巡りやカフェでリラックスしたり、地元の食べ物を試したりと、自由な時間を過ごせます。 近くのバーでオプションのワインテイスティングに参加することもできます。料金は1人30ユーロです。 指定された時間に、ル・ヴェルドンへの復路のバスに再び乗車し、予定どおりにクルーズ船に戻ってくるようにします。
ル・ヴェルドン港にクルーズ船が停泊し次第、ホストが桟橋でお待ちし、ボルドーへの送迎バスにエアコン完備の快適なバスでご乗船のお手伝いをいたします。 所要時間は約2時間で、フランスの田園地帯を通る風光明媚なルートをたどります。 この送迎はクルーズのスケジュールに合わせて行われるため、スムーズでストレスフリーな体験ができます。 ボルドー到着後、現地ガイドがお出迎えし、ツアーのガイド部分を開始します。 歴史的な中心部はバスで行くことができないため、訪問はすべて徒歩で行われます。街の歴史、建築、文化について詳細な解説があります。
ボルドー到着後、現地ガイドがガイド付きウォーキングツアーで市内の主要観光スポットをご案内します。 訓練を受けたプロのガイドは、ボルドーの歴史、建築、文化に深い知識を持っています。 最初に訪れるのは、ボルドーの歴史の中心にあるカテドラル・サンタンドレです。 この大聖堂では、アキテーヌ公エリナーや後のフランス王ルイ7世を含む王室の結婚式が催された。 ガイドは、その建設段階、建築の変化、街の発展における役割などを説明します。 大聖堂の隣には、主要建造物を守るために別に建てられたペイ・バーランド塔が建っている。 希望者は自由時間に登って市内を一望できる。
大聖堂からさらに徒歩で行くと、18世紀にボルドーが一大貿易センターへと変貌を遂げたことを反映する重要なランドマークであるブールス広場があります。 ガイドが、この広場が都市再生プロジェクトの一環としてどのように建設されたかを説明します。このプロジェクトでは、街を川へ開放し、貿易を近代化し、ボルドーに古典的なフランス建築を導入しました。 左右対称のファサードは、経済成長期の都市の富と権力を示すためにデザインされた。 広場の正面には、水の鏡が建物の反射を高め、静水と霧が交互に発生する効果を生み出している。 2006年に設置されたこのモダンな増築が、ボルドーで最も訪問者の多いスポットの1つとなり、世界中からの訪問者や写真家を魅了したことをガイドは説明します。
次に、市内で最も重要な文化的ランドマークの一つであるボルドー大劇場に立ち寄ります。 オペラ、演劇、バレエの拠点としての重要性をガイドが語ります。 劇場のデザインは古代ローマの神殿から影響を受けており、ファサードにはコリント式の円柱が並び、9人のミューズを表す彫刻が配置されている。 2世紀以上にわたって公演を主催し、現在も作業会場として使用されている。 この時点で、1〜1.5時間の自由時間があり、自分のペースで市内を探索することができます。 近くの商店街を歩いたり、カフェを訪れたり、カヌレや新鮮なカキなど地元の特産品を試したり。 ボルドーのワイン文化に興味がある方は、ツアー終了地点から数分の有名なワインバーでオプションのワインテイスティングをお楽しみいただけます。 テイスティングは1人30ユーロで、現地にてお支払いいただきます。ボルドーワインのセレクションと現地の専門家による説明付きです。 事前予約は不要で、当日に決めるだけ。
自由時間後、復路は指定された場所に集合します。 港に戻るドライブは、ボルドーを取り囲む田園地帯とブドウ畑を通り、約2時間かかります。 これは、観光の一日の後にあなたのクルーズ船に再乗船する前に、リラックスして風景を眺めるチャンスを提供します。

Our guide did not say anything on the bus ride into town. When we arrived, she walked too fast for the slower people to keep caught up.
Hello Len, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the walking pace felt too fast and that the commentary during the journey into Bordeaux did not meet your expectations. The feedback has been reviewed with the guide. She is an experienced Bordeaux guide who has been working with these excursions for several seasons. We have asked the guide to make the commentary on the bus more engaging and interactive, so that guests feel more involved and connected with the destination throughout the journey. We appreciate your feedback regarding the walking pace. Groups can include guests with very different mobility levels, so guides need to remain mindful of the whole group and regularly check that everyone is able to keep up comfortably. On this particular day, the ship’s docking schedule meant that the available time in Bordeaux was more limited than usual. The guide therefore had to balance the guided visit with allowing guests some independent time for lunch and exploring the city, while also ensuring the group returned to the ship safely and on time. Thank you again for your comments. Feedback like this helps us review the experience as a whole and identify where we can make the day more comfortable for future guests. Warm regards, Julia Vexperio
We truly enjoyed our tour of Bordeaux. Our guide, Caz, provided us with a wealth of information about the history of the city. He also had a great sense of humor. We had some free time to tour the city on our own which was a nice feature. The bus transportation from the port to the city was comfortable and we enjoyed the French countryside. Lots of vineyards! We would recommend the tour if you are in the area.
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).
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you appreciated Camilla’s work, although we are sorry that it was sometimes difficult to hear her during the walking tour. We will remind our guides to pause regularly and make sure that everyone in the group can hear before continuing. This excursion is designed for guests who would like a guided introduction to Bordeaux. For travellers who prefer to explore independently and at their own pace, we also offer a “Bordeaux On Your Own” option, which includes transportation between Le Verdon cruise port and Bordeaux without the guided city tour. Thank you again for joining us and for helping future travellers choose the option that best suits their preferred way of exploring. Kind regards, The Vexperio Team
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.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased that you enjoyed the overview of Bordeaux and appreciated Camilla’s knowledge and friendly manner, as well as the comfort of the coach. On your date, the ship’s shorter time in port meant that we had to operate the 7-hour version of the excursion. Within the available docking time, we did our best to include the main highlights while allowing as much free time as possible and ensuring a safe return to the ship. Whenever the ship’s schedule permits, this excursion runs for 8 hours, giving guests more time to explore Bordeaux independently after the guided walking tour. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on another excursion in the future. Kind regards, The Vexperio Team
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.
Dear Jonathan, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and balanced review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the walking tour and found your guide kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. We appreciate your comments regarding the microphone and completely understand how important it is for all guests to be able to hear the guide clearly, especially in a busy city environment. We have shared your feedback with our local team to help ensure this is addressed for future tours. We would also like to clarify the group-size concern. The advertised maximum of 35 guests refers to each guided walking group, not the total number of guests travelling from the port. In fact, on this date each guide had only around 20 guests per group. Unfortunately, one of our three buses experienced an unexpected technical issue, requiring us to reorganise the passengers between the remaining buses, which caused the delay. To compensate, we extended the tour by 15 minutes. On the day of your excursion, one of the three coaches experienced an unexpected mechanical issue. To ensure that the tour could still operate and that all guests could participate, we had to quickly reorganize the transportation arrangements and accommodate passengers from the affected coach on the remaining buses. Unfortunately, this resulted in delays and larger-than-planned transfers before arriving in Bordeaux, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused. We also appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the coach and have shared this feedback with our local transportation partners. We are committed to working with suppliers who provide comfortable and reliable vehicles that meet our guests’ expectations. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We truly value your comments, as they help us continue improving every aspect of our excursions, from guiding quality to transportation and overall guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide the smooth and enjoyable experience we aim to deliver. Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio
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.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We understand that the journey from Le Verdon Cruise Port to Bordeaux is quite long. Unfortunately, the port is located about two hours from the city, and there isn't a way to shorten the travel time. We truly wish there were! We do our best to make the journey as comfortable as possible so our guests can enjoy everything Bordeaux has to offer once they arrive. Thank you again for choosing Vexperio. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio
