Testimonials
Our Bordeaux Farmers Market tour was an excellent way to learn about the food and wines of the local area. We learnt so much and had the opportunity to sample many of the delicacies.
Hela was a great tour guide; very personable and knowledgeable. She was also keen to learn from us which made this a great two-way exchange of information.
This was an extremely worthwhile way to spend 2.5 hours and so much better than many other tours we have completed both in the UK and Bordeaux previously.
We were a party of 6 so we chose to do a private tour of the Marche of Capucins with Hela the owner of Bordeaux Walking Tours as it was an affordable option. I found Hela to be lovely - from our first of many emails that she responded to thoroughly and quickly to the tour where she was entertaining and very knowledgeable. We were there for my son's wedding and after her tour I knew where to buy all the bits I needed for a little party I was hosting the next day. I felt like a local as I knowingly navigated the market the next day buying cheeses, veggies, fruits and olives. A really great way to get oriented to beautiful Bordeaux and feel a little bit like a local!
We had a long walk around the city with Hela (English native speaker) who knows really everything about Bordeaux, French history & wines. A very entertaining storyteller - we are really happy to discover Bordeaux this way. We now know far more about the city than the friends who have always been living here. And the info, the booking & paying thru website & SMS were so easy. 10 points !!!
