Cancelled at short notice - disappointed to say the least.
Really disappointed that this was cancelled on the morning of the scheduled tour without any reason given. Booked because the reviews looked fabulous and good value for money, which probably added to the disappointment. If it was down to lack of numbers then there should be a notice of the minimum number of bookers required to ensure the tour goes ahead so at least there's an awareness that it could be cancelled.
Response from the operator: I’m truly sorry for the disappointment, and I completely understand your frustration. An unforeseen medical emergency came up that morning and, unfortunately, I had no choice but to cancel the tour at very short notice. It was a situation that happened unexpectedly and was completely outside my control. I also sincerely apologize that you were not given an explanation at the time. You had booked based on the reviews and were looking forward to the experience, so I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a cancellation without knowing why. I take my tours very seriously and I certainly don’t cancel them lightly. I was genuinely disappointed myself that I couldn't be there that day. Sometimes unexpected things happen, and this was unfortunately one of those occasions.

Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.
Is Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bordeaux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales?
+
Included: Snacks; Professional tour guide; and Quizz cards and storytelling. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales?
+
We meet just under the Grosse Cloche gate, and I will have a backpack to recognize me. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bordeaux Ghost Tour: Crimes, Legends & Haunting Tales?
