Hello and welcome! I’m Marina, a passionate local guide in Bordeaux, a city I have lovingly called home since 2018. I have a deep love for history, culture, and the simple pleasures of French life, and I truly enjoy sharing them in a warm and welcoming way. For me, guiding is not just about showing places — it’s about making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely welcome from the very first moment. My journey as a guide has been shaped by an international life and a natural love for people and stories. Over the years, I have learned that the most meaningful experiences happen when travelers feel at ease and free to be themselves. I see every guest not as a tourist, but as a welcome visitor in my home — and Bordeaux as the city I am proud to open and share with you, just as I would with a friend. Bordeaux is full of beauty beyond its well-known sights. Along with the highlights, I love guiding guests through quiet streets, hidden corners, and favorite local spots — from charming wine bars to beloved pastry shops known mainly to locals. I enjoy sharing history, everyday traditions, and little secrets that bring the city to life in a gentle and engaging way. My greatest priority is to make every tour comfortable, interesting, and truly memorable. We explore the city at your rhythm, with time to pause, ask any questions, and simply enjoy being there. I warmly invite you to discover Bordeaux with me and would be delighted to welcome you for a personal and unforgettable experience.
