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!

Overview of your Bordeaux tour
An amazing day in Bordeaux to remember! I will take you on a 4 hour pleasant walk through the most beautiful part of Bordeaux listed as UNESCO World Heritage. We will visit together unique squares and sites of the city and you will discover its most important monuments and their history, some of them dating back to medieval times. Bordeaux is home to more than 360 monuments and protected buildings with exceptional urban and architectural ensemble only Paris has more! I will tell you the history of the city going through the most important periods from Eleonor of Aquitaine who married French and English Kings to World War II and the Nazi Occupation of the city. Take the charming old streets to explore and feel the city. We will have a break to taste French patisseries with a cup of coffee or a glass of Bordeaux wine. I will always customize the tour depending on your interests and preferences.

Eliot A.United States
Galia was wonderful. She had great knowledge of Bordeaux and the whole region. She tailored the tour for us and we even modified it "on the fly" because it started to rain. She gave us many choices of things we should see and experience. She was very helpful recommending local restaurants and even made some reservations for us. One in particular was for lunch at a restaurant that has a wine cellar. She set-up a private lunch for us in the cellar which was a fun experience. I would highly recommend Galia if you are looking for a guide that can do it all.

We have done several (20+) walking tours with Tours By Local…. This tour was the best one we have ever done. Galia was absolutely superb. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and fun. She showed us all around the city , and provided us many more tips to continue exploring on our own. To Galia , thank for showing us the beautiful city - we enjoyed our time with you.

Gemila was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide for a visit to the local landmarks in the downtown Bordeaux area. She was congenial and professional with the walking tour. I would highly recommend her to others who plan to consider this service.
