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!

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
