Cruise the Bordeaux River and Sip the Wine: Private Wine Tour from the Dock!

Hi dear traveler, My name is Marie. I am known to be the smallest guide around Bordeaux but I swear you will have 1. 50m of concentrated enthusiasm and good humour ! I guide and welcome travelers for nearly 20 years and I am still passionate about it! I have started to work as a tour leader in western Europe before coming back to my birth place and starting my business as a local guide. I am also a licensed private driver with a 8 passengers people mover. You will save money as I do not need to rent a car with driver. I will be your guide and your driver at the same time ! I offer private tours in Bordeaux and Cognac areas. I cannot wait to welcome you in the heart of Bordeaux wineries and Cognac distilleries, in my beautiful city of Bordeaux which has recently topped the most attractive destinations listed by Lonely Planet guide! To complete my initial training program, I passed different trainings regarding wine tasting skills and Cognac tasting skills. What was only supposed to be only extending a range of skills quickly turned out to be a passion! And I am now one of the most multi-skilled and adaptable tour guide available on the market ! #swissknife I provide tours in English and French. I offer different tours in Bordeaux, in Bordeaux wineries including Saint-Emilion and Cognac vineyards. If you are ready to get a bit of mud on your shoes but having a real and authentic experience in our region, I am your guide ! My goal is to let you have an experience off the beaten tracks and to make your travel unique. I will always do my best to provide you an unforgettable trip in my region by customizing my tours depending on your interests and expectations. So don't be surprised if I ask so many questions after you contacted me. . . I just try to get to know you better and to make sure that my offer will match at best what you expect! I am looking forward to welcoming you in Bordeaux or in Cognac! See you soon Cheers ! Marie ** Health Warning: Drink with moderation, excessive drinking is harmful to health.
