Everything you should know before you book
Going private is the flexible way to do Bordeaux. Inside the city, a private guided or walking tour of the 18th-century UNESCO centre — Place de la Bourse, the Miroir d'Eau, the Grand Théâtre — lets you set the route and depth, and one private option finishes with a glass of Bordeaux. They suit families, special interests, and anyone who'd rather skip a fixed group schedule.
The bigger reason to book private here is the out-of-town tours. A private Médoc wine tour gets you appointment-only access to the grand left-bank châteaux of Margaux and Pauillac on your own timetable, while private day trips reach Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat (an hour west on the Atlantic), the cliff-top villages and castles of the Dordogne, and the Basque Country at Biarritz — long days that are far more comfortable when the route and stops are yours to shape.
Frequently asked questions
Why book a private tour in Bordeaux?
Private tours let you set the pace, the route, and the focus with your own guide — ideal for families, special interests, or the long day trips to Arcachon, the Dordogne, and the Basque Country, which are far more comfortable tailored to your group.
What can you do on a private tour from Bordeaux?
A private Médoc wine tour of the grand left-bank châteaux, a private city or walking tour of the UNESCO old town (one ends with a glass of wine), and private full-day trips to Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat, the Dordogne valley, or the Basque Country.
Is a private wine tour worth it over a group tour?
For the Médoc it often is — many of the grand classified châteaux admit visitors by appointment only, and a private tour secures access and lets you linger at the estates that interest you most rather than following a fixed group route.
