Bonjour from Bordeaux! I can't wait to share my beautiful city with you. My primary goal is for you to enjoy yourself and hopefully fall in love with this magnificent region of France. I adore being a guide and have given almmost 400 tours in Bordeaux; go check out my reviews to see what my past clients have said! Whether you are here for the wine or just to have a French adventure, I will ensure that you make the most of your time. My tours are flexible and customized to each client so please tell me a bit about yourself so I can tailor our time together to suite your interests. I will show you the most beautiful monuments and architectural highlights; I can give you the dates and names of architects or I can simply tell you the anecdotes that make the monuments special to us. I will not let you leave Bordeaux without learning about the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine, the most influential woman of the Middle Age who altered European history for centuries. I have so many stories to tell you and will answer any questions you have about Bordeaux's past or present. If I don't know the answer, I will find it and get back to you! As a food enthusiast, I have made it my mission to discover the best that Bordeaux has to offer and I will share with you all of my favorite restaurants and gourmet shops. Whether you want fine dining or a quiet riverside picnic, I know where to take you. Now a little about me. . . . I am a dual citizen of America and France, born in the US and living in France for 20 years. I met my French husband in the US and after having my second child, I moved us all to France.. It was the best decision of my life and now that my children are older, I spend as much time as possible in cafés sipping espresso or wine. I have learned so much in my time here and I love sharing my knowledge and experiences with curious travelers. Bordeaux is a gorgeous city with so many layers of fascinating history. We are experiencing an actual renaissance at the moment so it is the perfect time for you to visit! I hope you are excited about your upcoming trip to Bordeaux. I would love to be your guide :) Credentials: Bachelor of Science from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Over 200 hours of professional and recreational cooking classes at L'Academie de Cuisine, the Cordon Bleu in Paris, and L'Atelier des Chefs in Bordeaux. **Outside of tourism, I work in animal rescue and train dogs so feel free to bring your canine friends along. France is a pet friendly country and dogs are welcome almost everywhere.

Overview of your Bordeaux tour
Let's visit some of France's most beautiful squares and architectural wonders on permanent display in a modern city filled with medieval and even Gallo Roman structures. During out time together I will take you along the Garonne river to show you a controversial bridge commissioned by Napoleon. I will tell you all about Bordeaux's Nazi occupation as well as a Viking invasion in the 10th century. I will explain to you why Bordeaux is nicknamed the 'Dark Capital' and also 'Sleeping Beauty'. Now on to Europe's largest square with gorgeous fountains, statues and plenty of activity. I will show you the grand Bordeaux theater, two Renaissance towers and a breathtaking cathedral where a historical marriage took place in 1137. I look forward to sharing this beautiful city and its history with you.

Was lucky to find this tour after the original tour I booked unexpectedly cancelled on us. I booked Stephanie's tour for our very first night in Bordeaux (and our vacation) so we were tired from traveling and jet lagged, she had her work cut out for her! Stephanie was amazing, we immediately felt so comfortable with her. It was obvious how much she loves her beautiful city of Bordeaux and she kept us awake and moving for 2 hours showing us the highlights and giving us interesting historical facts of the city. She also made recommendations for restaurants and things to do during our time in Bordeaux and followed up with an email of those spots to remind our jet lagged brains. At the end of the tour we were ready for dinner and she showed us an excellent restaurant and secured a table for us. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough, we had a wonderful time with her! Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie was a delight - so informative, with a great American perspective and so obviously passionate about Bordeaux, its history and culture. She adjusted her schedule for us and made our tour of Bordeaux fun and filled with history and insights. We would definitely recommend her.

Stephanie was wonderful. Our group arrived to the hotel a bit late and she was flexible with both our start time and itinerary. The tour itself was very informative and fun. Stephanie possesses great knowledge of Bordeaux sites and history. A delightful time!
