If you are looking for carefully curated tour of Bordeaux, look no further. Guadalupe designs your trip to your tastes and budget. It was over a 100 degrees when we visited, but we were cool and comfortable in her air-conditioned van. She provided ice water and snacks to keep us going. She also offers recommendations of where to stay and dine.
Guadalope was great and knew so much about Bordeaux and spoke excellent English. She is a kind soul.
