Welcome to Bordeaux! Let's discover its magic together. I would love to show you my beautiful city, its prestigious wine chateaux and charming medieval villages and tell you their history. I revel in being a tour guide, I enjoy meeting people and I feel happy when I can show you magic hidden corners of my city and astonishing landscapes of this famous French area. I always try to do all my best to create for my travelers an unforgettable journey in my beautiful wine region. All my tours are private and tailored to the interests and requests of my clients as my reviews vouch for. My Bordeaux tours are always different based on your preferences and experience. (first time visitors or rediscovering the city) All of my wine tours - Medoc, Saint Emilion, Pomerol, Sauternes or Graves - include private visits in English to prestigious and famous Grand Crus Classes chateaux, and we will be accompanied by an experienced driver so I can be 100% with you. I will help you discover the local gastronomy, culture and historic treasures, because I know from my personal experience as a traveler how important it is to be well-advised and receive a friendly welcome in a foreign land. I will share with you the most interesting local addresses and delicious French restaurants. I am an open-minded, very professional, and smiling person and I can easily adapt to many different situations and your personal requests. Along with this, you will find me to be a well-spoken, energetic and optimistic person. I would love to customise a tour for you in a way you can enjoy the most your time in Bordeaux and its beautiful wine country!
