Designed for cruise passengers, this tour takes you from Le Verdon port to 'Little Paris'—the stunning city of Bordeaux. Known for its rich history, elegant architecture, and world-renowned vineyards, it is the heart of France’s most famous wine region.
Bordeaux’s beautifully preserved old town is closed to vehicle traffic, so upon arrival, your guide will lead you on a walking tour of the city’s main sights. View the famous Cathédrale Saint-André, walk through Place de la Bourse, the city’s iconic square, and see the Water Mirror, one of Bordeaux’s most photographed spots. Stop at the Grand Théâtre, a neoclassical theater that has been a cultural hub for over 200 years.
After the guided portion, you’ll have some free time to visit shops, relax at a café, or try local food. You can also join an optional wine tasting at a nearby bar for €30 per person. At the designated time, rejoin the bus for the return trip to Le Verdon, ensuring you arrive back at your cruise ship on schedule.

What To Expect
As soon as your cruise ship docks at Le Verdon port, our hosts will be waiting at the pier to assist you in boarding a comfortable, air-conditioned bus for the transfer to Bordeaux. The journey takes approximately 2 hours, following a scenic route through the French countryside. This transfer is scheduled to align with your cruise timetable, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Upon arrival in Bordeaux, your local guide will meet you and begin the guided portion of your tour. As the historic center is not accessible to buses, the visit will take place entirely on foot, with in-depth commentary on the city's history, architecture, and culture.
Cathedrale Saint-Andre Bordeaux
After arriving in Bordeaux, your local guide will take you on a guided walking tour of the city's main sights. A trained professional, the guide has deep knowledge of Bordeaux’s history, architecture, and culture. Your first stop is Cathedrale Saint-André, a site central to Bordeaux’s history. This cathedral hosted royal weddings, including that of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the future King Louis VII. The guide will explain its construction phases, architectural changes, and role in the city's development. Next to the cathedral stands Pey Berland Tower, built separately to protect the main structure. Those who wish can climb it during free time for panoramic city views.

Tiring but informative.

4.00This does involve a long coach journey at both the start and end of the tour, but the Guide made good use of the time to explain about wine production in the region on the way. Sadly our free time was drastically reduced due to the inefficiency of the dockside workers at Le Verdon who took over an hour to do a 15 minute job setting up the gangways. Our Guide was excellent and the walking tour itself was very good. The fact that we had very little free time was not the fault of Viator or your staff.

5.00Excellent tour. Our tour guide Cass was very informative about wines, history of the area. He even provided a champagne sample for our ride back to port! The bus was waiting for us directly outside the ship. Would definitely recommend.
