Hello Madame, Hello Monsieur! I am Guillaume , your guide for Bordeaux and the region ! Born and bred in the South West of France, I grew up surrounded by the food and wines treasures our region can offer (its wines, cheese, Foie-gras, cannelés, Armagnac. . . ) but also its beautiful landcapes and classified UNESCO sites (Saint Emilion, Dune du Pyla. . ). At age 20, I left my beloved south west to explore the world. 10 years spent abroat between North America, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, England , Mexico , India and many more countries. I worked in estates, restaurants, travel agencies, always loved being in contact with people. I came back in Bordeaux in 2018 for you guys :) I offer you travels like I would have loved mine to be. . . Joyful, instructive, unique, fun and customised. I want you to have the best time and really make memories. I want to share with you the passion I have for the region and you to embrace it ! It goes from having fun, being informative, eating good food, tasting good wines and mainly sharing good moments with good vibes. We will visit a mix of small family-owned properties but also the "Grand cru classé". You will be able to see and taste the difference but also learning how to taste. Upon your interest, we can choose the day to be a mix between learning technics, or historic facts or simply more focused on wine tastings. It's all up to you, it's your trip. The idea is you to have an unforgettable experience, that we can share some great times and also make you appreciate the region all the way to San Sebastian if you have multiple days Also, booking through ToursByLocals, I'll be able to deal directly with your demand and as a bonus, I'll be your guide once here. From experience it is different to book with an agency and then only get to know your guide last minute. I am your agency and your guide at once , so we already know eachother a bit before you arrive. I'll be able to give you tips upon arrival and you not to worry about trains, bus, logistic for pick-up and drop off. I have a large Mercedes Van that can accomodate up to 7 people and enough rooms for some luggage too! Don't hesitate, contact me for any enquiries and I'll try to make it happen ;) Guillaume (Frenchy for the friends) 17 years of experience in the Hospitality sector (Food and Beverage, Tourism). WSET level III certificate. I don't sing very well

Overview of your Bordeaux tour

Not sure between white or red wine, still uncertain about sweet white wine but you love cheese? This tour is perfect for you! The Graves and Sauternes are yet not as famous as Médoc or Saint-Emilion. However, it is most definitely the most representative of what Bordeaux wines have to offer. It has everything you need to learn and discover. From classified great dry white wine to unique Sweet (dessert wine) Sauternes and not to forget opulent and gorgeous red wine, this region is a delight to visit. Right outside the city of Bordeaux, discover one of the most ancient areas of wine production in Bordeaux and probably one of the prettiest. It is I believe the perfect getaway to Bordeaux city, with short driving distance, great diversity, definitely one of my favourite tour to take people along! Don't trust my words, come and see it by yourself ;)

Wish I could give it more stars!! I would go on any tour Guillaume put together. Everything he selected for our day was perfect - 2 private tours at amazing wineries, an insanely good lunch at a charming spot and a pop in at a small vineyard to meet with wine maker while he was at work. Even days after the tour, he was providing us tips and suggestions. If I could go back in time, I would have booked more with him! He is wonderful! I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Our tour with Guillaume was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about each place we visited. Wonderful way to get from one City to another.

Guillaume was an excellent guide. My friend and I enjoyed a 2.5-day private tour of Bordeaux, Saint Emilion, and surrounding areas in early March 2024. Guillaume took care of everything and scheduled fantastic tours, lunches, and wine tastings for us, which we were a bit worried about since the "season" hadn't started yet. We highly recommend booking with Guillaume. He's fun, friendly, polite, and knowledgeable!

Your Bordeaux tour itinerary

- Drive from Bordeaux heading south toward Pessac-Léognan appellation. The first winery is only a 30min drive or 1h if we start the day with Sauternes. Booked at 10am - After the first château visit we go visit a second winery around 11.30am - Then Lunch will be booked at a local restaurant I know or Picnic can also be arranged. - After lunch, we head to visit a third winery before heading back to Bordeaux. - We make 3 stops while in Pessac Léognan and Sauternes. It allows you to try 3 very different types of wine, that's a good call to please everyone especially on a hot summer day. . . Better with white than red usually. Tour can be customised, please contact me in advance to discuss.
