Overview

This Experience is provided by a private local.
Bordeaux, a city that transpires history from the 18th century, was crowned in the past few years as the “coolest city in France”! Bordeaux didn’t get this title because of its historical buildings, come with me on this Experience to show you the real cool side of Bordeaux!
I will show you the nicest spots in the city, that are full of beauty and at the same time, so different from what you would expect to see in such a historical city. During this 2 hour experience you will also have the chance to get to know more about the young culture in Bordeaux, see and learn things you couldn’t on your traditional tour!
