Bonjour! My name is Caroline. I was born and raised in the north of France, between Paris and Normandy. Then I moved to study in Nancy, north-west. I discovered vineyards and wine by doing the harvest in Champagne when I was a student. I really enjoyed this environment and atmosphere and that is why I arrived in Bordeaux in 2015! First, it was only for a two-week stay to pick up the grapes in Saint-Emilion. I finally fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Having passed a Bachelor in English Language and Culture + Cultural Tourism, I found a job as a tour guide in Saint-Emilion the year after. I worked there for 3 years, and kept discovering a lot about the area and wines. Then I decided to become an official tour guide, passed the degree to get the license, and settled closer to Bordeaux city. Now, I live just outside of Bordeaux, between the city centre and the closest vineyards of Pessac-Léognan. I enjoy being able to cycle to the historic and dynamic city centre and enjoy the surrounding nature at the same time. I am passionate about gastronomy and wine, but also about history, cinema, literature and sports. I would be more than happy to take you on one of my food, historic or wine tours in or around Bordeaux. I guide in English and French and try to work on my Spanish skills. I can do walking and bike tours in town, with or without tastings, and also wine tours all around Bordeaux (it is also possible to meet directly in the vineyards or in Saint-Emilion). Feel free to reach out to me for more details or to set up a tailor-made tour. Licensed Tour Guide WSET 3 For my tours I have no restrictions

Join me for a guided historical tour of Bordeaux' main highlights. We will walk around the city centre to explore its Medieval narrow streets and its magnificent 18th century architecture. We will also pass by the Garonne river and the Cathedral. We may enjoy some local treats on our way, in order to get some strength before getting on a tram to move forward to the Cité du Vin. This brand new interactive cultural centre about wines will allow you to discover more about wines from all around the world. I will tell you more about the interesting architecture of the building and guide you around the Museum. You will also get audio-guides to get more information. At the end of the tour, you will be able to enjoy a glass of wine on the rooftop of the Museum, overlooking Bordeaux city and its harbor. After the tour, you may also have the chance to enjoy a snack or a meal in the museum or in the new covered food market, the Halles de Bacalan. I can customize this tour according to your preferences.
My wife and I did this tour with Caroline and really enjoyed it. We did a great walking tour including the history and architecture of the city center. Then she took us to the wine museum. She toured us around and then we had plenty of time on our own to discover the many exhibits. We thought she was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour and especially with Caroline!
We really enjoyed learning the history of the wine trade in Bordeaux and the visit to the wine museum is a MUST when visiting this lovely city.
I had a great Bordeaux city tour with Caroline. She is very knowledgeable about city history and provided observations not generally known. Also, her wine expertise is extensive, so we had some interesting conversations on that topic. You will definitely enjoy a tour with Caroline!
-Meeting in the city centre (I would suggest on the Comedy square, in front of the Intercontinental Hotel) -Walk around old town Bordeaux (Parliament Square, Saint Peter's square, Saint Andrew's Cathedral) and the 18th century district (Water Mirror, Stock Exchange Square). -Then jump in the tram for a short commute to the Wine Museum. - The tour ends here, but I can take you back to the centre, if needed.

This is mainly a walking tour but we will take the tramway to move from the city centre to the Museum. If you feel like having a private transportation, I can arrange it for you.
