Tour description

We will travel back in time from Medieval Bordeaux to Modern Bordeaux, visiting the most iconic sites of this city.

We will begin the visit at the emblematic Great Bell Gate to discover the secrets held by the golden lion.
We will then head into the Saint Michel district where we will delve deeper into the subject of Bordeaux wine, from its origins to the present day.
We will visit an authentic wine bar and there will be the possibility of tasting the world-famous "clarete bordeles"
You cannot miss the experience of crossing the stone bridge and admiring the panoramic views of the city's emblematic buildings.
We will also visit the La Bastide neighborhood, one of the most popular places today.
You cannot miss contact with nature in the Parc des Angéliques, where there are more than 70 thousand species of trees and plants.
And finally, we will enjoy one of the Bordols' favourite places, the Darwin collective, where we will soak up the current culture and also learn where this city is heading in terms of the fight against climate change.

This visit will be full of stories, anecdotes and characters that became legends.
