Hello Madame, Hello Monsieur!
I am Guillaume , your guide for Bordeaux and the region ! Born and bred in the South West of France, I grew up surrounded by the food and wines treasures our region can offer (its wines, cheese, Foie-gras, cannelés, Armagnac. . . ) but also its beautiful landcapes and classified UNESCO sites (Saint Emilion, Dune du Pyla. . ).

At age 20, I left my beloved south west to explore the world. 10 years spent abroat between North America, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, England , Mexico , India and many more countries. I worked in estates, restaurants, travel agencies, always loved being in contact with people. I came back in Bordeaux in 2018 for you guys :)

I offer you travels like I would have loved mine to be. . . Joyful, instructive, unique, fun and customised. I want you to have the best time and really make memories. I want to share with you the passion I have for the region and you to embrace it !

It goes from having fun, being informative, eating good food, tasting good wines and mainly sharing good moments with good vibes.

We will visit a mix of small family-owned properties but also the "Grand cru classé". You will be able to see and taste the difference but also learning how to taste.
Upon your interest, we can choose the day to be a mix between learning technics, or historic facts or simply more focused on wine tastings. It's all up to you, it's your trip.

The idea is you to have an unforgettable experience, that we can share some great times and also make you appreciate the region all the way to San Sebastian if you have multiple days

Also, booking through ToursByLocals, I'll be able to deal directly with your demand and as a bonus, I'll be your guide once here. From experience it is different to book with an agency and then only get to know your guide last minute. I am your agency and your guide at once , so we already know eachother a bit before you arrive.

I'll be able to give you tips upon arrival and you not to worry about trains, bus, logistic for pick-up and drop off. I have a large Mercedes Van that can accomodate up to 7 people and enough rooms for some luggage too!

Don't hesitate, contact me for any enquiries and I'll try to make it happen ;)

If you find it hard to choose between exceptional historical heritage, beautiful vineyard landscapes and prestigious wines, then don't worry: Saint-Emilion has them all.

But above all the village of Saint-Emilion will seduce you with its air of an open-air museum. The vestiges of the past - churches, monasteries and convents - coexist there with the vine.

In this charming medieval village, you'll discover the hidden treasures of Saint-Emilion - its underground monuments only accessible with a licenced guide: the Hermitage of Saint-Emilion, the catacombs and the largest and most impressive in Europe monolithic church entirely dug in limestone rock by monks from the 9th to the 11th century.

Finally, there is a lot to marvel at in Saint-Emilion. Cause the chateaux' wine cellars are located (for those who are lucky) right in the catacombs of the village! Emotions are guaranteed here!

Saint-Emilion is the ideal destination to understand the art of Bordeaux wine and to learn more about history of Aquitaine!

Saint-Emilion: History of Stones and Wines

Bordeaux is a really stunning and walkable city. On your arrival day, I highly recommend you to follow me on a 3hrs easy walk in Bordeaux.

We'll walk pass the best places to see. We'll have a nice insight of what it is to be a local here. No worries, it's not 3h of architecture, neither hundreds of dates I'll ask you to remember but more an informal presentation of my city.

Some nibbles along the way, some wine is nice too and if you want an extra coffee or ice-cream, surely I can manage that too ;)
