A Tour with a Friend!
Our wine and food tour with Simone was the perfect first-day activity in Bordeaux to learn the area and its unique flavors, history and neighborhoods. Our son and DIL did this same tour a few years ago and referred us to the tour and Simone. We’ve made her a member of our family now :) As we met other travelers in Bordeaux, none of them has the insights to the city or the “lay of the land” like we did, thanks to the tour. We received wonderful advice on using the trams, dinner suggestions and even the other must-visit places that weren’t on the tour. We will look forward to visiting again and referring others to this experience with a true local!
Operator response
Hello Hannah, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and meeting Simone. She was thrilled to receive your warm review and feels that she has made new friends. We would love to have you join us on another tour, perhaps in Ireland one day. Frances

Not loving the food tour , but loved Bordeaux!
This tour surprised me because I did not know all we were tasting were pieces of desert!! For the cost $$$ of the tour this was ridiculous. The tour guide was just ok!! I did loved the Oysters, but my daughter had no meal since we found out the tour had no other choice but shrimp !! So for my $300 plus charge that is insane !
Operator response
Hello Awilda,
I’m sorry to hear that you did not have a great experience on the tour. I’m a bit confused because when I checked with Kate, she mentioned you told her you really enjoyed the tour and would leave a positive review.
Regarding dietary restrictions, you indicated at the time of your booking that there were none, which is why oysters and shrimp were included in the menu for that day. The tour featured a variety of tastings, including olives, cheese, aged ham with cheese, chocolates, and unique Bordeaux pastries. At Bonner Travel, customer satisfaction is very important to us. Therefore, I have issued a partial refund to your account. Best regards,
A

First time to Bordeaux
A wonderful way to see the beautiful city of Bordeaux and to learn about its history. Helen, our guide, was so knowledgeable and also gave us suggestions of places to see and restaurants to enjoy during our stay. We tasted amazing food along the tour…chocolates, fresh seafood, Iberian ham, and the delicious Canales of Bordeaux among others. Truly one of the best tours we have been on. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bordeaux. Ann and Ed Gough

Amazing Food & Walking Tour through the Streets of Bordeaux
Fran was lovely and very knowledgeable about the city. Make sure to be hungry, we tasted sweet and savory snacks all along the way as well as meats and fish. Bordeaux has a contemporary vibe even though it is steeped with history…nice to see it through the eyes of someone who has a real connection to the city.
Operator response
Hello Amir, It was lovely to meet you and Christina and delighted you enjoyed the tour. Come back soon to do a tour in Ireland! Kind regards, Frances

Exceptional food and wine tour with Ciara!
We had an absolutely wonderful time with Ciara! She knew the area like the back of her hand and was a wealth of information. We stopped at multiple specialty shops for food and wine tastings and could not have been happier. We would recommend this tour to anyone!
Good luck with baby number two Ciara😊

Great tour and history of Bordeaux
This tour in Bordeaux was a great way to learn much about the city as well as experiencing some small bites and some wine. It’s much more than a culinary and wine tasting tour. We learned a great deal of history and three hours was just the right amount to get a good flavor for, the history of the architecture and the region of Bordeaux. Helen is a great guide and I would highly recommend this tour.
