We are really grateful for the tour
For a first-time visitor, the app truly gives my wife and me the flexibility to see the city. We spent 2 days completing all 28 stops and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. We found the information provided to us adequate, and the route was easy to follow. At the end the journey the app suggested us to visit Cite du Vin, which is not included the walking tour but is worthy to spent time to visit. Be aware, some of these stops are just passing points, which did not bother us at all.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We're delighted that you and your wife enjoyed discovering Bordeaux over two days and found the route easy to follow. It's lovely to hear that the flexibility suited your first visit and that the Cité du Vin suggestion was a worthwhile addition. Thank you for exploring with Trippy Tour Guide!

Robbed while on the tour
Started welll but then took us down a narrow empty street where I was violently robbed of neck jewelry. We abandoned the tour after that so not happy
Response from the operator: Hi, We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience in Bordeaux. What happened to you is extremely upsetting, and we completely understand why the tour was abandoned afterward. While the route follows commonly visited public areas in the city, incidents like this are deeply unfortunate and beyond what anyone should experience while traveling. We sincerely hope you are safe and doing okay after the incident. Please share your booking ID with us at support@trippytourguide.com so we can look into this further and assist you appropriately. Again, we’re very sorry this happened during your visit.

An outstanding wine experience
This was a great trip. Vicky gave us a lot of information about the wines of the area, and that was backed up by the people from the wineries themselves. I can't recommend it highly enough. Vicky deserves a bonus .. best guide we have had in ages

Bordeaux Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 8 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 Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP?
+
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 Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP?
+
Around 3 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Self Guided Walking Tour with an APP 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.
