Welcome to Bordeaux! Let's discover its magic together. I would love to show you my beautiful city, its prestigious wine chateaux and charming medieval villages and tell you their history. I revel in being a tour guide, I enjoy meeting people and I feel happy when I can show you magic hidden corners of my city and astonishing landscapes of this famous French area. I always try to do all my best to create for my travelers an unforgettable journey in my beautiful wine region. All my tours are private and tailored to the interests and requests of my clients as my reviews vouch for. My Bordeaux tours are always different based on your preferences and experience. (first time visitors or rediscovering the city) All of my wine tours - Medoc, Saint Emilion, Pomerol, Sauternes or Graves - include private visits in English to prestigious and famous Grand Crus Classes chateaux, and we will be accompanied by an experienced driver so I can be 100% with you. I will help you discover the local gastronomy, culture and historic treasures, because I know from my personal experience as a traveler how important it is to be well-advised and receive a friendly welcome in a foreign land. I will share with you the most interesting local addresses and delicious French restaurants. I am an open-minded, very professional, and smiling person and I can easily adapt to many different situations and your personal requests. Along with this, you will find me to be a well-spoken, energetic and optimistic person. I would love to customise a tour for you in a way you can enjoy the most your time in Bordeaux and its beautiful wine country!

Our Tastes of Colors of Bordeaux tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Galia, was so much fun. Communications before and leading up to the tour were so easy as were the directions to our meeting place. Galia showed us some of the historic sites that were on our bucket list and shared a great deal about the history of Bordeaux. Our stops at some local food shops (chocolates, pastries, etc.) followed by a wonderful lunch rounded the tour out. Galia took a personal interest in us, and we became friends which made the tour all the more special. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Fabulous tour! Galia is a wonderful guide, tailors the tour and discussion to your interests. We could not have asked for a better guide or tour. I highly recommend Galia.

Galia was an amazing guide. It was well worth a private tour as you can customize it. She was so patient with my elderly father and treated us like family! Definitely recommend Galia as you tour guide while visiting Bordeaux!
Gail S.United States
If I could give more stars I would. Take this tour. Gaia is wonderful and in addition to learning so much and tasting so much, she also helped us get our lost luggage found and delivered!! Not many guides would take the time to do this. We had so much fun learning about Bordeaux it's history and the food tasting was so much fun. Gaia really showed us incredible places in Bordeaux as well as recommending and making us dinner reservations. The food there was great. Wonderful Guide !!!!
Michael M.United States
Galia is a wonderful guide! She is fun, flexible, sweet, and very well informed about Bordeaux. We learned so much about life in Bordeaux and what we can do. She kept our 12 year old grandaughter interested in the tour. When she found a few things about us, Galia steered the tour in that directions. If she is available, book her!
Your Bordeaux tour itinerary
We will start the tour with a walk in the city center of Bordeaux during which I can tell you about the city and show you some of the most interesting monuments and places around. (Place de la Bourse, Place Quinconce, Porte Cailhau, Grand Theater. . . ) We will accompany the stroll with some traditional pastries (cannele, choux) and we will stop and enjoy a cup of coffee on a terrace. We can take the tram and visit the French Food market where you can have lunch with a glass of wine and French cheese, charcuteries, oysters, etc. I will walk you through the market and I will be happy to help you in your choice as there are many stalls with tasty food prepared on site. If you prefer I could reserve a table in a tasty restaurant for lunch after the tour or before depending on you time schedule.
