Private guided tour of Bordeaux in a luxurious Citroen DS - 1 hour

About this tour

Tour Bordeaux's 18th-century quarters in a restored 1973 Citroën DS convertible with a private driver-guide. This one-hour circuit takes you past the city's grandest classical facades and UNESCO-listed streets, plus quieter corners locals favour. The DS itself—sleek, low-slung, unmistakably French—transforms a standard city tour into something you'll actually remember.

Highlights

• 1973 Citroën DS Limousine Convertible, roof down if weather allows
• 18th-century architecture and UNESCO-protected old town
• Hidden squares and photo-worthy streets beyond guidebook staples
• Private guide with genuine knowledge of Bordeaux's layers
• Bottled water provided throughout the hour

What to expect

You'll climb into a car that turns heads the moment it rolls up. The guide handles navigation whilst you take in the cityscape—no rushing between stops on foot. Expect a flowing route through Bordeaux's grander boulevards and into the tighter medieval grid, with the guide pointing out architectural detail, historical context, and the occasional quiet courtyard worth photographing. The open-air experience means wind noise at speed, so close attention to commentary requires leaning in slightly. One hour sounds tight, but it's enough to hit the main landmarks and a few lesser-known pockets.
