Eleanor of Aquitaine - Bordeaux Medieval Tour

Anna’s medieval tour far exceeded our high expectations! It was a comprehensive, action-packed introduction to the city of Bordeaux from pre-Roman roots to present day. She is articulate, extremely well-prepared with maps, insightful comparisons to current day, weaving in humorous details with dramatic flair. Her details were well-chosen and memorable. She had paid special attention to Eleanor of Aquitaine at our request but delivered so much more, including a contagious love of the city and a desire to learn more from her.

This tour guide really knows her stuff! In addition to patiently answering all of our very detailed questions, she told the most charming stories about some of the artwork we visited and pointed out details I would have missed. Anna was very accommodating. One of our group had an injury, so she altered the tour to include less walking, brought additional materials based on our specific interest Amd to top it all off, she is a delight to talk with! We have been on a number of walking tours including five on this trip to the Bordeaux area, and Anna was by far the most knowledgeable and most interesting. Pro tip for a tour with Anna: message her in advance of your tour to let her know your specific areas of interest. She will research your areas of interest Teresa and tailor the tour to you! Our next trip to Bordeaux, we are booking whatever tour Anna is offering!

Anna provided one of the best tours we have taken. She was organized and responsive. She provided the right amount of information on contemporary and medieval bordeaux and pointed out the connections between them.

Anna is fantastic. Super knowledgable, very friendly, and all around a great guide. She really makes the history of Bordeaux come alive. She tells great stories. She's also very flexible in terms of adding in little stops (ask her about the archaeology in the hardware store.) All in all, absolutely fanastic. Highly recommend!
