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.

Mika was fantastic! He was wonderful pre-tour in his communication, picked us up on time and gave us a lovely day exploring the countryside and the wonderful food and wine of Bordeaux. Mika is personable, funny and easy to be around. We left the tour feeling as though we had seen a side of Bordeaux that the only the locals get to enjoy. He made us fall in love with Bordeaux! Thank you Mika for an amazing day!

We had a wonderful day with Michael. He showed us Bordeaux in a way that most tourists do not get to see a city. It was great to see the neighborhoods and learn about various creative endeavors like Darwin. He also selected a great place for lunch out doors. He is an interesting person with lots of travel experience. Highly recommend!!

We had an absolutely lovely day with Michael. He was thoughtful, considerate, and a delight to spend the day with. We drove in a 1967 Citroen. It was so much fun. People were very interested in our car and asked multiple questions regarding its character. Nice to have a change in transportation. The day was great. I would highly recommend Michael. He was a real treat.

Michael is a passionate informative fun guide who couldn't do enough for us. We had a great time driving around in the beautiful 2CV with the roof rolled back. We covered so much of Bordeaux even some of the right bank. The lunch at he seafood market was wonderful and the wine tasting was great also. Highly recommended.

Your Bordeaux tour itinerary

We’ll start with a short city tour to see highlights like the iconic Place de la Bourse and the last Roman ruins. Then we’ll head into the beautiful hills of the Entre-Deux-Mers, known as the “French Tuscany,” for stunning views and peaceful backroads. Along the way, enjoy a wine tasting at a local château, followed by a relaxed lunch in a typical French brasserie. If time allows, we’ll stop at a local antique shop to browse for unique treasures. A perfect mix of culture, wine, and countryside charm—all in one unforgettable day.
