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% "

Perfect introduction to Bordeaux
"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!"

Thank you very much Marina
"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! "

Amazing Day with Marina
"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."

A Historical and Delectable Bourdeaux Tour
"Spending the day with Marina was lovely! Our group of four people (all adults aged 30 - 50 y.o.) had a great time learning about Bordeaux's culinary traditions, as well as the city's broader political and cultural history. Everything was paced very nicely with lots of little stops and discussions, and I think people of all ages would have a wonderful introduction to the city through Marina. She was very kind in making sure we could see lots of hidden gems throughout the city, so the three hours flew by. Marina has all sorts of recommendations for activities, shopping, and food outside of the tour, so if you need a little help planning the rest of your trip, she is a wonderful resource.

Fun and Knowledgable!
"Marina sent a lovely pre-message to find out our interests and responded to our wants. She showed us a lot of historical buildings with stories of the past. We went into some beautiful locales that featured chocolate, sardines and a lovely multiuse building. She was fun and spirited and shared her unique background with us---a truly enjoyable experience. We highly recommend her--she was wonderful!"
