We'll begin by departing from your hotel in Bordeaux promptly at 9:45 AM. Our journey will take us approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the renowned Oyster Town, where we'll kick off our day with a delightful glass of wine accompanied by fresh oysters and seafood, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of the region.

Following our gastronomic indulgence, a leisurely stroll through the charming streets of Arcachon awaits, offering an opportunity to admire the town's distinctive architecture and seek out a renowned local dessert unique to this area.

Next on our itinerary is a visit to the iconic Dune du Pilat, Europe's tallest sand dune standing at an impressive 106.6 meters high and stretching over 3 kilometers. Prepare to be captivated by the ever-changing and awe-inspiring vistas from this natural wonder.

In addition to indulging in fine wine, cuisine, and scenic vistas, I'm eager to share a glimpse of France's rich history with you. We'll explore the evolution of seaplane development, spanning from the early 1900s to the 1960s, through engaging exhibits featuring scale models, mock-ups, period attire, and informative presentations showcasing technological advancements and enhanced passenger comfort.

Around 7 PM, we'll make our way back to Bordeaux, but not before savoring a delectable dinner experience at a charming sushi restaurant. Indulge in a fusion of local ingredients and expert culinary craftsmanship.

It is hard for me to rate this experience. First of all we loved Kim. She gave us a delightful walking tour around Bordeaux and showed us many of the architectural and historical sites. Our only issue with the tour was that it did not fulfill how the company explained. They stated the tour would be “10 delicious tastings across the city's iconic spots. From savory crèpes to fine Bordeaux wine”. We were offered a croissant, a canele, chestnut bread, ice cream and the savory was a “French taco”. The drink was mint tea. Again, we enjoyed Kim, but $100 per person for a taste of Bordeaux did not fit what we got. A nice walking tour but not a food tour. Loved Kim!!!!

Kim Kim, our With Locals tours, was such an amazing guide meeting and exceeding our high standards from the company! Kim was very prompt in accommodating our short notice request for a tour of Bordeaux city highlights. Kim met us at a retail clothing store because we needed rain gear and she made great improvised suggestions for touring the city to accommodate my wife’s limited walking needs. Along the way Kim was greeted by many local businesses that she patronized. Kim guided us on the trams to see so many beautiful & historical sites within our time restraints. She explained the history & significance of various venues in a way that did not go over our head with trivia details. We finished the tour at one of Kim’s favorite wine & cheese shops where she knew the owner. As a result we were treated to an exceptional & delicious menu of various cheeses, meats and guided in selection of white and red wines fitting of our feast. We actually had a second day tour with Kim with very limited time allotment and she was fantastic help with getting me a refill at local pharmacy with a medication that I had exhausted during the cruise. This experience sealed the deal, Kim is by far the best With Locals tour guide we have used over the years when we travel to Europe and SEC Asia. My wife & I will use Kim Kim again on our return trip to Bordeaux to experience the larger geographical area. The Best Guide we have experienced!

We had a wonderful time visiting Bordeaux old town, thanks to Kim. She’s very responsive and super flexible. She was so kind to move the meeting location closer to us and a later time due to weather. She’s very knowledgeable about the history of the historical landmarks. She showed us places that we wouldn’t think about of going but certainly worth visiting. She made reservation for us at an amazing restaurant. She’s very energetic and make you feel very welcome. Merci beaucoup! KimAmazing!
