Bonjour!! l’a Mika, For over 16 years, I've been creating moments that linger. Not tourist visits, genuine, immersive experiences, thoughtfully designed just for you. I've learned a simple truth: no two travelers dream alike. Some seek the historical soul of a place, others want to wander quiet streets where locals live. I'm here to help you discover what makes you come alive, whether through wine, nature, culture, or simply the beauty of these remarkable lands. Who Am I? A travel enthusiast, a passionate lover of Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, and someone who deeply believes in creating authentic connections between people and places. With over 100 custom itineraries designed and years of experience in operations, customer service, and business development, I know how to make every detail count. No rushing, no rigid schedules — just quality time, authenticity, and good energy. What I Offer Bordeaux Like You've Never Seen It Beyond the famous landmarks: the Roman history that shaped the city, the elegant architecture that defines it, and the vibrant contemporary energy that brings it to life. Bordeaux is a symphony of past and present — and I'll show you how to dance to it. Saint-Émilion, the Heartbeat of Wine A village carved into stone where every corner tells a story. Wine here isn't just a product — it's a culture, a passion, a way of life. I'll invite you to truly understand it, taste it, feel it. The Bordeaux Region by Bike Vineyards, hidden villages, picturesque roads — everything takes on a different meaning when you explore it at your own pace, on two wheels. It's more than transportation; it's meditation in motion. My Approach No scripts. No checkboxes. You're a person, not a number. Love history? We'll explore it together. Prefer sitting in a quiet café chatting with the owner? Let's do that. Dream of a wine tasting that'll change how you see the world? I'll find the right connections. Every experience is crafted for you — for what you're seeking, for who you are. Smooth logistics, thoughtful organization, genuine authenticity — these are my pillars. You relax. You enjoy. You live. What Defines Me ✓ 16+ years of experience creating unforgettable journeys ✓ 100+ custom itineraries designed and delivered ✓ Specialist in wine tourism and cycling experiences ✓ Master's Degree in Tourism & Environmental Management ✓ Expertise in operations, customer service, business development Languages French (native) · Spanish (native) · English (fluent) Important Note I'm not an officially licensed guide for the interiors of historical monuments. That said, I'm deeply knowledgeable about history, culture, and local context — and I'll offer you perspectives no official guide can: genuine love for these lands.
