Quite nice walking tour, although it's not really free
We really enjoyed the tour, our guide was nice, knowledgeable. The free drink is a 10 min walk away from the end of the tour, fyi. The guide also seemed to think the tour was "free" and all he got was the tip, although we paid over $70 for the tour for 4 adults and 2 children, before the tip, so I'm not sure about that.

Don’t book through Tripadvisor, but do take the tour
The tour itself was five stars with Raf; however, when I booked this with Tripadvisor I was charged $40+ CND to then find out on the tour that this was a free walking tour that is funded by tips at the end of the tour to the guide. Tripadvisor is totally taking advantage here and I’d like to know where my money went because I’m assuming it’s not to the guide or anything to do with the guide. Therefore paying Tripadvisor to send an email to the guide company on my behalf saying I want to attend seems ridiculous. Definitely take this tour but do not book through Tripadvisor.

Wonderful Introduction to Bordeaux
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, attentive, and humorous. The tour was an excellent introduction to the city and its welcoming people.

Disappointment
When I booked for the time page that suits us....nothing tells me that the ride would be explained in foreign language. . And so we were surprised. We found ourselves in the middle of a group whose interlocutor did not speak French but English so the walk for us taught us nothing about history .. except to see the monuments that were present. So very disappointed with it.. Well it's not the commentator's fault but we could have had a report that this one was in foreign language Very very disappointed 😒

Very well delivered...

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want cost?
+
Prices start at $3 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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want 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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want?
+
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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want 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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want?
+
Around 4 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 Tip Based Walking Tour. Pay what you want 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, "Bordeaux by bicycle: a 3-hour tour immersive experience". 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.
