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

Overview of your Bordeaux tour
Experience the art of French living on a unique countryside escape in a vintage Citroën 2CV. This tour invites you to slow down and soak in the charm of Bordeaux and its surroundings—from elegant city corners to the quiet beauty of vineyard-draped hills. With the wind in your hair and the scent of the vines in the air, you’ll travel through time and terroir. Taste characterful local wines, savor regional dishes in an authentic setting, and—if chance allows—hunt for treasures in a rustic antique shop. More than a tour, it’s a journey into the soul of southwest France, where every detail tells a story.

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!
Christine B.United States
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!!
Judie Y.United States
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.
Lyle G.Australia
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.
Stacy K.United States

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.
