Tour de comida e vinho da Cidade Velha de Bordeaux

The culinary experience was enhanced by our fabulous guide, Alexandre. I highly recommend @bordeauxinbites.

This food & wine tour was absolutely amazing! Walking throughout the City picking out our items at the different locations was the best-and a plus that we could go back if wanted! Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things Bordeaux history, food and wine. I would highly recommend this activity to any and all ♥️

Absolutely fantastic experience! Lots of great food and a fun walk through the old town. Our guide was charming and very personable. She shared the history of Bordeaux with knowledge and enthusiasm. This was one of our favorite tours while we were in France.

This was an enjoyable tour highlighting some of the excellent foods and wines of Bordeaux, with visits to some of the local shops. Alexandre was an excellent tour leader. He was a great communicator, took note of the group’s preferences, and provided knowledgeable, interesting commentary on the diverse food and wine selections. I highly recommend this tour.

It exceeded our expectations. Alexandre was an incredible tour guide with so much knowledge of the local history and products.

We had a wonderful time with Alex on this tour. The food was fantastic and the final stop with the meats and cheese we selected on the tour was at a terrific wine shop and could not have been better or more educational. Great value and highly recommend!

Fantastic. We all had a blast. The food was excellent. The guide was great

Wonderful tour. Our guide chose the best places. Highly recommend

Alex was very knowledgable about Bordeaux and the food. It was a great history lesson and some excellent nibbles. If you like cheese and charcuterie, you won't leave hungry!

We booked this tour well in advance of our trip to Bordeaux, and we scheduled it for our first day in town. We thought it would help us get an understanding of the area and it was exceptional. We met our guide, Alex, at Cinema Utopia, kind of a landmark spot. Alex was super upbeat and talked us through the plan for the morning. Then we took off on foot toward the first of our attractions which features canales, the baked confection of the area with a caramelized exterior and very moist interior. This shop claims to be the first/oldest/best canales shop and they say they are the only shop to get the perfect exterior because of the copper molds they use. I have no idea other than to say they taste good fresh. Next we were off to a boulangeria, a French bakery. Alex purchased a number of different types of bread and we sampled all of them. All the while, Alex was explaining the differences in the types of bread product and the differences in specific types made at other shops compared to this shop. Our next stop was a cheese shop. It was a very small shop and only half of the tour group, maybe five or six, could enter at a time. When the first half was done looking the other half entered. Alex asked our different tastes and likes and then bought cheese to take with us. The very small butcher shop was the next stop where again about half could enter at a time. Alex pointed out the many cured meats and discussed their ingredients, and then he bought sliced charcuterie meats. From the butcher we headed off to the wine shop. Hear we made our way downstairs into a basement and took seats around a long table. The wine shop poured wine tastes and we sampled all the wares Alex had purchased, fresh baguette, multiple cheeses, and different charcuterie meats. Basically we feasted and discussed the amazing day, it was actually fabulous! The tour was not inexpensive, the cost was just short of $600 for our group of four. That said, we all felt it was well worth the price we paid! When we met him he advised people if anyone had a lunch reservation they might want to reconsider and he was correct. We were absolutely done eating until dinner as we were so full. We spent close to 4 hours with our guide, and we got a great introduction to the area on our first day. I would have rated the experience 5 stars, however when anyone asked where something was located or the name of a specific shop Alex told us multiple times he would email everyone that night or the next day with information on everything we had done and the tips he gave us. We did not get a follow up mail and could have used the information later in the week. Had Alex not set the expectation I would not have expected it; all considered though, Alex was an excellent guide. I strongly recommend this tour.
