Experience the best of
Bordeaux with Withlocals

"Marina displayed professionalism and excellence from our first With Locals chat. My husband stated "She was great." And that she was. She was focused on creating a personalized tour for us and understanding our expectations for the three hours we spent together. She was adept at pivoting when we asked questions or wanted to go a different direction. I appreciate her understanding that having a coffee mid-way through our adventure was a way to share information, get to know each other, and enjoy a bit of French culture. Marina is very knowledgeable about Bordeaux, wine, and French history. She is a delightful guide. Anyone who greets you with a typical Caneles de Bordeaux pastry is brilliant. Marina is a consummate professional - accommodating to the group before us, and not taking a lunch break to provide an extraordinary experience for us."

"Marina gave us a very nice tour of Bordeaux. We enjoyed the places she took us and she was very good at explaining history and culture. She also gave tips to other things we could in the area."

"Marina is obviously very knowledgeable, and her enthusiasm about Bordeaux, its history and culture, is contagious. "

" My wife, a friend, and I did a vacation through Spain and then up to Bordeaux France, where we hooked up with Marina for a walking tour. Marina proved to be very knowledgeable with the city layout, all periods of its history, and issues of the day. She knows the shopping and restaurant scene as well. Marina has an outgoing and upbeat demeanor, and is very easy to talk to. She also carries an iPad with renditions of ancient and more modern architecture that was a nice touch as we love history. "

"Marina is a great host. She is well versed in multiple languages and knows the Bordeaux and the surrounding regions inside out. I had a great experience with her and would recommend her 100% "

"Marina was absolutely wonderful. She personalized tour to our desires and its pace to all those of our group. A perfect mix of history and modern Bordeaux with recommendations on how/where to continue our exploration of the area."

"What a wonderful experience! We learned so much and got so many tips from Marina, who was personable, fun and extremely knowledgeable in our 3 hr tour. She tailored it to our interests and we used what we learned from her to make the rest of our visit so enjoyable! Please use Marina and many thanks to her!"

"We really enjoyed our walking tour around Bordeaux! She managed to show us many interesting places, despite the rain! Marina’s historical knowledge is also excellent which made the tour all the more interesting. One of the highlights was a great coffee shop - Marina knows how particular us Aussies are about our coffee! All in all it was a wonderful 3 hours well spent and she also gave us some great tips on other places to visit. We will definitely be recommending Marina to our friends. "

"Marina was excellent! She contacted me ahead of time to set up the tour and changed the meeting place so it was closer to the port. She was on time and very personable, and we had a wonderful time exploring Bordeaux and stopping for pastries and coffee. She even helped us locate and authentic Crepe Lunch spot and let us know if we had any other concerns on our stay in Bordeaux to reach out to her. It was a great tour! "

"We spent an amazing day in Bordeaux with Marina! She was very efficient and punctual during the planning process and then delivered a perfect blended day. When we were done with our tour, we felt like we knew and understood beautiful Bordeaux. Marina is one of the best guides we have had."
