Back streets and hidden alleys - loved it!

Excellent tour thru all the back streets and hidden alleyways of Bordeaux. Saw so many surprising sites and places that I would never have found on my own. And good information on the history - my guide was VERY knowledgeable! I appreciated that we were seldom on any high-traffic streets - made it more enjoyable. Highly recommend it!

Julian, our guide for the afternoon was fun and informed us well about the history and culture of Bordeaux. We were in a group of 8 and he made sure that we all stayed together when cycling. We definitely felt we saw more of Bordeaux than we would have ever done by ourselves. It is a beautiful city and I would recommend 100% booking with Bordeaux Bikes. Thank you Julian

A memorable opportunity to explore Bordeaux's architecture & vibe

Marion's SARL Bordeaux Bike Experience was the highlight of our Bordeaux experience. The four of us, by no means experienced bikers, were guided carefully through the city streets and alone both banks of the river, stoping frequently for extremely well presented narratives on the City's most important historical sites and through-out the afternoon on the historic events which drove change. We highly recommend Marion and her team for an informative and fun, unique experience.
