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

Enjoy a 3 hours private walking tour to discover the historic highlights of Bordeaux city centre. Walk around the old town's narrow streets to find out some hidden squares and gourmet treats. Discover more about history and the Golden Age of Bordeaux, passing through the 18th century district. The tour will end in a local wine bar and bread factory* where you will be able to enjoy glasses of wine and local tapas (different options possible, so please feel free to reach me so that I can arrange it for you). After this tour, you should be experts in Bordeaux's history and wines! I can customize this tour according to your requests. Please reach out to me to check the availabilities. * This place is closed on Sunday & Monday but if you choose to do the tour on those days, we would go to another wine cellar.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide who walked us through Bordeauxs history as well as showing us many historical sites. A tasty treat awaited us at the conclusion of our walking tour. She also highlighted many places we might like to visit after the tour was over.
Very nice walking tour with Caroline. She was waiting for us when we arrived in Bordeaux and was very easy to communicate with before the tour to make the arrangements. The tour was very comprehensive and informative and I feel like we got a real feel of the City. She went with our pace, stopped for coffee when we asked and took us to a lovely wine tasting with the best bread ever. Caroline is a great guide and a lovely person and we really enjoyed our time together. Thank you for showing us this lovely city and giving us great reccomendations on how to spend our time there. We felt very well taken care of!
Very much enjoyed our tour with Caroline! Highly recommend her for a tour in Bordeaux. She took her time and had a lot of history to explain to us as we toured the old City.
Caroline has exceptional knowledge of Bordeaux. She tailored the tour to us including what we had already seen (not much) and what was important and interesting to us. She was able to engage our teenage kids and made the tour interesting and enjoyable for all of us. I would highly recommend her as a guide.
Caroline was a joy! Her knowledge of the history of Bordeaux and the route we took were excellent. The lovely bakery we went to at the end of our tour was a delightful way to end the morning.
- Meeting point in the city centre (I would suggest on the Comedy Square, in front of the Intercontinental Hotel) - Walk around Old Town Bordeaux: Stock Exchange Square, Parliament Square, St Peter's Square, Cathedral, Big Bell Gate Tasting at Levain Le Vin in rue de la Rousselle (except on Sundays and Mondays, other options possible). Please do reach out to me to arrange the tastings as you prefer.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
This is mainly a walking tour but we can take the tram for some stops if you like, or arrange for private transportation. Please be aware that Bordeaux city centre is walkers & bikers-friendly.
