The best way to explore Bordeaux. Jean-Christophe is super knowledgeable and friendly and has a clear passion for the area.

The tour is taken at a relaxed pace, spending ample time at each location, he even bought local cannelès for us to try. The bikes were super comfy and well maintained. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, it’s fun and Jean-Christophe has some great recommendations for places to visit during your stay. Thanks again.

Jean-Christophe was very nice and laid back. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. The bicycles were pretty and comfortable. The cycling was at a relaxed pace. My seven year old daughter had an attached bike and she had loads of fun. It was a great experience for all of us. Thank you Jean-Christophe!

Great guide, excellent bikes, wonderful friendly group, totally interesting route. We were in the hands of a delightful story teller, with a fun stop at a combination brewery, bakery, coffee hang-out. Great historical overview and explanation of important sites. Easy bike riding (assuming you are in average physical shape). Was frankly amazed at how much I enjoyed the several hours and was sorry it was over.

Not only were the views amazing with so many photo opportunities but Jean - Christophe our guide for the afternoon was fantastic. He speaks very good English and his passionate knowledge of the history of the city was educating and interesting. One of the main attractions of this trip is crossing the river on two different bridges which not only gives the views from the other bank but also to explore best kept secrets that most tourists would miss.
