Hello everyone and welcome to Bordeaux ! I was born in Lille, grew up near Paris, but near Bordeaux is the place to be, a wonderful area for my family and here is where I wish to live ! There is something for everyone, great architecture with many influences, some baroque, neo-classique and regional style which leave us with a beautiful town and a very elegant historical center. There are great monuments reminding us of the prosperious past of the town, like the stock exchange square, very nice boutiques, in the old town, and so many specialities for the gourmet or the "gourmand". . . not to mention great art with the museum d'Aquitaine or the Cité du Vin. . . Of course, some of the finest french vineyards are nearby. . . should you wish to visit St Emilion and Pommerol, the Médoc, Sauternes. . . I will be happy to explain the different classifications and what type of wine one could expect before we visit a Chateaux ! My goal is to make sure you have a wonderful time, you may tell me how you imagine your day and I will do my best to make it happen. I love my region and all it has to offer. . . I have been working as a full time Program Manager in Europe on Coach tours and a Cruise Manager on River cruises. I am a Licenced National Guide working with international Cruise / Tour companies operating with groups or individuals. I have worked for over 20 years with travelers from Australia, New Zeland, Great Britain, Canada and United States and everywhere english is spoken. I also have the right to drive a van with pasengers or can arrange for a private van and a driver.

Alexandra was, in a word, FABULOUS! Not only was she knowledgeable (knew EVERY king and his reign) but she was flexible (digressed from her plan to help us buy the makings of a picnic lunch at a market), pleasant (laughed at our attempts at humor) and of course punctual. We highly recommend Alexandra for any of her tours.

Thank you for your feedback, I think you may still be on your way, stay safe and well, Alexandra S.
Alexandra provided a private tour of Saint Emilion for 8 of us. She was superb! First of all, her English was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable of history, culture, and the sites and was very engaging. Alexandra was able to book the underground monuments for us and toured us in these. Not only was she an excellent tour guide, but she booked us lunch reservations as well...

Alexandra was a pleasure to be with! Very knowledgable and gave us exactly what we asked for. The trip to St Emilion was such a wonderful slow paced day. Wine tasting was enhanced by Alexandra's vast wine background. The tour of Bordeaux gave us such a good overview of this lovely city. We want to return! Thank you Alexandra!
