About this tour
Pedal through Bordeaux's finest quarters on a guided 13km loop, taking in landmarks and tree-lined boulevards at a leisurely pace. Your local guide—fluent in English and French—steers groups of ten or fewer along bike-friendly routes, stopping mid-ride to sample a traditional canelé pastry in a public garden. Beach Cruisers handle the flat terrain effortlessly, and you'll have water, a helmet, and a poncho to manage the elements.

What to expect
You'll roll out from the reception point on a well-maintained city route, stopping to admire key neighbourhoods and historic sites while your guide shares insider knowledge. The pace is relaxed—this isn't a fitness test but a chance to see Bordeaux from the saddle without the effort of navigating yourself. Midway through, you'll dismount for a proper break, tasting a canelé alongside fellow riders in a pleasant public garden. The terrain is flat and the bikes are stable, so focus on absorbing the city rather than wrestling with gears.
