French boulangeries are world famous and something very unique. It may be the only place in the western world where you can walk into an eatery with 4-6€ and walk out with a meal and a dessert of world class quality.
Join me as we eat our way across Bordeaux's best boulangeries (bakeries), all of which are recipients of French culinary awards. Each bakery is in a different, vibrant neighbourhood of Bordeaux and along the way, I'll share with you its history and my own personal experiences of the neighbourhood. Come hungry and discover why more than 6000 people have said that this is the most fun and original way to explore Bordeaux!

5.00Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. The weather was very hot that day. Be prepared with water and sunscreen.
Highly recommend!

5.00This was a great tour! Nikesh was a font of knowledge about Bordeaux’s history, architecture and most importantly its many boulangeries. He made sure we saw the most important and historic sites while also taking us off the beaten path to find some very cool and delicious gems. History and pastries are clearly Nikesh’s passions, and it shows in this fantastic tour.

5.00Great experience, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who went above and beyond our expectations. Tasty pastry with a touch of history sprinkled in.
Great disappointment and not recommended.

1.00A very disappointing experience that did not meet our expectations according to the description presented on your site. This experience boils down to tasting pastries in a few bakeries. Our guide, who was a substitute, was unable to follow the proposed schedule and did not confidently answer several of our questions. The visit lacked structure, and to learn more about the history of the visited bakeries and the neighborhoods, we had to initiate the questions and sometimes did not receive answers... In short, it was really not a guided tour, but more of a stroll from one bakery to another. We had signed up for a guided tour in French, and to our disappointment, the group was mixed, consisting of both English and French speakers. The value for money was really not there.
Brilliant Bordeaux

5.00Mathilde was an exceptional guide . Made the walking tour a delight . We ate numerous bread and pastries along our route with a welcome coffee break . Lots of interesting information from Mathilde as we wondered the streets of Bordeaux. Mathilde had a great personality and I would say she is probably one of the best guides we have ever had on any organised tour. She made sure all of the group were engaged and involved throughout the tour. A great way to discover Bordeaux.
Well worth it

5.00Great pastry tour with loads of information on the walks. Best way to see the city and get some great tips along the way - see things you’d never see otherwise! Well worth the money would recommend.
Good, but long walks in between

4.00Nikesh was very knowledgeable and good. Sometimes it was hard to hear what he was saying without a microphone. There were long walks between stops with no explanations and we were expecting a bit more personable experience from the boulangery owners.
Great patisserie tour

4.00We enjoyed this tour with Mathilde. There was a good mixture of sweet and savoury but our favourite was the lemon tart! We would have liked a little bit more history about Bordeaux, however. We had a great group of people and a lovely guide which really made it. Also good to do a short trip on a tram and the coffee we had was excellent. Highly recommend.
Zero Calorie Tour

5.00Great tour of some of the best boulangeries of Bordeaux. What I liked about the tour is that our guide took us all over the city to out of the way bakeries that the normal tourist probably wouldn’t experience- two of the boulangeries have received top awards in France for their goodies. In addition, the tour was filled with history and fun facts about the city. Don’t worry about the calories- you will walk enough to burn them off!
