About this tour
Cycle through Bordeaux's architectural gems and riverside views on this 2.5-hour guided tour. You'll pedal past the Grosse Cloche, Cathedral Saint-André, and the Jardin Public on sturdy Dutch bikes, with a local guide unpacking the city's layered history and pointing out neighbourhoods beyond the guidebook. The route hugs the Garonne and sweeps through Place de la Bourse. Small groups keep things intimate whether you're travelling with someone or solo.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and hop onto a comfortable upright bike — no racing kit required. The pace is steady and social; expect to stop frequently to take in facades, cross squares, and hear the reasoning behind Bordeaux's layout. There's a break partway through where you can catch your breath. The route stays mostly flat and on designated paths or quieter streets. Bring your own water bottle; the tour doesn't supply one.
