Meeting point

Monument aux Girondins, 2792 Pl. des Quinconces, 33000 Bordeaux, France

Riverside Start or Garden Pause

Choose between river views or leafy calm to begin the day

Bordeaux Your Way: A Personalized 4-Hour Exploration

From Place des Quinconces, your host may lead you to the Garonne riverwalk, where the city stretches wide and locals stroll, sketch or you might ease into the day in Jardin Public, its shaded paths offering stillness. Either way, the rhythm begins with you.

Chartrons Wandering — Stories in the Stone

Meander through the quiet charm of Bordeaux’s former wine district

You might trace vine-covered balconies and faded merchant signs in Chartrons, where every stone tells a story. Linger on Rue Notre-Dame, drawn to a window display or workshop. Whether by history or detail, this area rewards those who walk slowly and look twice.

Micro-Market Moments or Textural Discoveries

Let scent or silence guide the next move

Depending on the day, you might pass through a lively street market or take things slower, noticing balcony railings, faded shutters, and quiet corners. However, the moment unfolds, discovery here is about noticing, not ticking off.

Reflective Finish — Viewpoint or Café Pause

End with space to reflect, wide or intimate

To close, you might settle on a bench facing the Garonne, where the river softens the skyline and the moment stretches out. Or perhaps the quiet comfort of a back-lane café suits you better, with time to sip, share thoughts, or simply rest.

Drift Toward What’s Next

One last view, a local suggestion, or a quiet detour

If the moment calls for it, you might follow a quiet path or simply stay and let the day settle. Whether you part ways here or take a suggestion from your host, the experience ends gently with space for whatever comes next.

What travelers think of our France experiences

Nicole Aug 2025

We loved learning about the area of Monmarte. The history, the art, and the culture. This was our families favorite place to tour. Our guide, Hristo also gave us great recommendations for lunch and where to have our daughters portraits drawn after our tour. We felt we were able to confidently navigate following our tour.

Alan Jul 2025

Wish we could rate this 6 out of 5 stars!! Del was an exceptional guide - she knows Montmartre intimately and did a wonderful job of tailoring the presentation to our individual interests. She was all over everything from the history to the best photo stops, shopping, etc. One of the best tours of our trip!

Kimberley Jul 2025

My family and I travelled around Montmatre with Ewan. He showed us many sights and told us interesting stories about the area. I would highly recommend this tour.

Michelle Jul 2025

Del was great, I had some unexpected mobility issues and Del was able to accommodate for this by modifying the original tour plan to suit. The tour itself was both informative and fun!!

Eric Jul 2025

With only one day in Paris on a layover, we made the most of it with an eight hour walking tour for first time visitors that passed through what felt like every notable building in central Paris. The tour was easy to book, we were able to specify our interests, and our guide Hristo kept in touch with us in advance to organize an itinerary and coordinate a meeting location. The tour was completely customizable and in our case focused on historic and cultural highlights, meandering along both banks of the Seine and then to the Arc and Eiffel Tower. Hristo provided in depth knowledge of historical facts and features on each of our stops, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal perspectives through the walk. We took breaks when needed, visited extra places when we were ahead of schedule, and as we finished slightly early, got some help finding a place for dinner. It was a long day with a ton of walking but well worth it!

First, Ewan was wonderful. His knowledge of the area, it's history, his passion for his planning a tour specific to our requested interests were spot on. He was pleasant to be with and had a good sense of humor!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
