Bonjour, I'm Mika 👋 Think of me as your friend in Bordeaux. I know which café makes the best canelé, which winemaker will open something special for you, and which little road through the vines is worth the detour. For 16 years I've been sharing this region with travelers from all over the world. I don't follow a script. Every visit is built around what you love. What we can do together 🍷 Saint-Émilion: a village carved in stone, where wine is a way of life. We'll taste it, and meet the people who make it. 🏛️ Bordeaux: Roman roots, golden façades, and a city that's very much alive today. 🚲 The vineyards by bike: hidden villages, quiet roads, and your own pace. How I work It's simple. You tell me what makes you happy, whether that's history, wine, food, or a long chat on a terrace. I take care of the rest. I'll share our local savoir-faire, and a bit of savoir-être too: the art of taking your time… A few things about me • 16+ years in tourism, 200+ tailor-made trips • Wine and cycling specialist • Master's in Tourism & Sustainable Development • French and Spanish (native), English (fluent) Good to know: I'm not a licensed guide for the inside of historic monuments. Outside them, I'll share the stories, the people and the love I have for this land. Come as a guest, leave as a friend. 🍇 — Mika, Monsieur Bacchus

The wineries were family owned with unique approaches to their products and customer experience. The ride through vineyard-lined roads was gorgeous, and biking gave us many spectacular views. The lunch at a beautiful...
