Excellent service, delicious canelés, and a beautiful view. Although I think it would be important to include Spanish in addition to French and English to explain the tour.

Suffocating heat, not enough air conditioning It was hard to hear the explanations because people were talking and chatting without paying attention to the guide’s comments; in that case, the guide should have stepped in Otherwise, the guide was great and the tour was very interesting. A little more air conditioning would have been nice—it was suffocating

Cruise the Garonne River for 1.5 hours aboard the elegant Maddalena, offering stunning views of Bordeaux’s UNESCO-listed waterfront.

Savor a glass of Bordeaux wine (or a soft drink) paired with a traditional canelé, the region's signature pastry.

Enjoy live commentary in French and English, with expert hosts sharing insights about Bordeaux's landmarks and history.

Relax in the air-conditioned indoor lounge or take in 360° views of the city from the open-air rooftop deck, ideal for photos.

A very pleasant boat ride during the heat wave in Bordeaux, with a great commentary. Too bad the poor sound quality made it hard to hear the friendly guide clearly.
