5.00Our tour guide Flavi was kind and informative. We had a fun tour of old town and across the stone bridge to Darwin and back. It was fairly easy. Bikes were comfortable. Highly recommend. The bikes had chain guards so don’t worry about your pant legs. Dress in layers.

As well as the historic sights of the old town, we got to cross the river to see a lovely arty area that we would not have found on our own! The tour guide was jus lovely and very knowledgeable and she made the whole experience a real pleasure! Highly recommended!

5.00Flavie was an excellent guide! She was personable, engaging, knowledgeable & fun. Her english was excellent. The bike tour was every thing that we expected and more. We got to see a lot of the city. The 20 minute stop in Darwin was enough to have a beer. Highly recommend.

5.00Flavie led our bike tour through the streets of Bordeaux. She was very friendly and made sure we all kept together as a group. We learnt lots about Bordeaux's history and Flavie treated us all to a famous Cannele cake. We also stopped for a break! Would highly recommend.

5.00I would highly recommend a bike tour to see more of Bordeaux. It was easy riding, not crowded on the streets, and fun to see more of the town than just walking around.
Great way to explore the city.

2.00The tour guide (owner of the company) was really bossy and annoying during the ride. It would have been much better without him.
