5 good reasons to choose a Bordeaux private tour?

Why choosing private tours? A good question.
Why don’t you share your table at the restaurant with unknown people?
Do you like peace, tranquillity?
Why do you hate people talking during a movie at the cinema? You want to enjoy your favorite moments and your travels!

It’s not about being snob. It is an indisputable truth. If you’ve ever joined a crowded group tour you are already aware of the discomfort it involves. Screaming kids, everything is not at your own pace, you can’t hear a single word from your guide...

But that doesn’t mean that group tours are not enjoyable at all. My philosophy is different. My goal is to make each minute matter.

5 reasons to book a private tour rather than a group tour for discovering Bordeaux

Traveling should be a fun experience! So if you are thinking about coming to Bordeaux with either your friends or family, choose a private tour.

Why? Not only you will be able to save time organizing your trip but you’ll also save yourself the trouble of committing any failure.

Indeed, from June to Septembre is the pick season in Bordeaux and it could be difficult sometimes to obtain tickets to access to your favorite monument or just to relax between two visits in a restaurant.

Make sure to:

1. TRAVEL WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LIKE

You have to be honest... Sometimes, you want to travel only with the people you like. Although meeting new people during the tour is great, there could be moments when it becomes a total nightmare. Stay away from the drama and have an amazing travel experience when you book a private tour around Bordeaux with your friends and family.

Relax yourself in a comfortable and air conditioned van. From the airport, your cruise ship or your hotel, I will pick you up wherever you are. Once you are ready, let´s go to visit this marvelous city full of history!

2. CHOOSE THE BORDEAUX YOU LIKE, PERSONALIZING EACH STEP OF YOUR TRAVEL

Never two guests are the same.
My tours will be tailored to your needs. To your desires, to your curiosity. I will do my best to give you something you will never forget. It’s not about travels, it’s about experiencing something new and authentic.

A lot of different Bordeaux do exist. From the typical visits at the Cité du Vin, place de la Bourse and water miror or Saint Emilion classified wineries to some more out of beaten tracks destinations as Blaye Citadel, the banks of the Gironde estuary or South Gironde villages such as Saint Macaire or Cadillac....

Yes, you have the option to plan your vacation on your own. However, you will miss a lot of amazing opportunities and experiences that are not accessible to the general public.

3. SAVE YOUR TIME AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE

When you book a private tour with me, we plan everything together depending on your wishes : timing, places to visit, where to eat, the convenient pace, etc. It is important to make sure that you will enjoy the best of the experience.

4 - GO TO PLACES YOU HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF GOING USING TIPS OF BORDEAUX LOCALS

You might not be aware but there are more marvelous spots than what is on the tourists brochure. Even if you do an extensive online research, you will still miss a few great sights, such as local restaurants, hidden marvels, and indigenous activities that are not popularly shared on social media.

5 - DISCOVER TORIES WITH AN OFFICIAL BORDEAUX TOURIST GUIDE

I will always do my best to show you the best of each place as a friend. Always with small anecdotes and big secrets!

Get reservation at restaurants ! During your private tour, if you need to book a table for lunch time or dinner, the best suitable restaurant in town will be recommended to you. From tapas to gourmet cuisine, let yourself be drawn into the last trendy places or locals favorite places.

Consider that a package tour is only ever a compromise for the sake of the group.
For example, even if the package promises to be a wine tour, it will only ever supply just enough wine experiences for the average person. If you’re more interested that the average person, or want to see and learn particular or technical aspects of wine making or meeting a real wine maker, choose a private tour.
