This private walking tour in Bordeaux lasts between two and three hours and is led by a local professional guide. The route covers several key landmarks and monuments, starting at Place Pey Berland with a 15-minute stop to view Cathedrale Saint-Andre, built in 1096, while learning about its architecture and history. Next, the group spends five minutes at the 15th century Tour Pey-Berland belfry, which stands separately from the cathedral. The tour continues to Place Camille Jullian for a 10-minute stop at the Utopia building, followed by a five-minute walk-by of the former site of Saint Projet church, where the old bell tower remains visible. Visitors then spend 10 minutes at the medieval Porte Cailhau gateway, constructed in 1495, to hear about the region’s history from the independent state of Guyenne through English and French rule. Additional stops include a 10-minute visit to Eglise St Pierre, the city's original port from the 12th century, with information on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella; a 10-minute stop at the Water Mirror, Bordeaux’s most photographed spot with views of Pont de Pierre; and 15 minutes at the 18th century neo-classical Place de la Bourse, the center of the quays. The tour finishes with a 10-minute visit to the Grand Theatre, built in the late 18th century and located in the Golden Triangle, and a 15-minute stop at the Monument aux Girondins, where the guide explains its connection to the revolution. The guide provides local recommendations throughout. Entrance to any monuments is not included unless specifically requested. The tour offers a flexible pace tailored to interests and is suitable for families, couples, or small groups.
