90-minute Garonne river cruise in Bordeaux with live bilingual commentary and UNESCO Port de la Lune views for a great price.
“Super informative and our guide was very entertaining. The only downside to it was that the commentary alternated between French and English, so if you only speak one of the languages, there will be a few minutes of waiting!”

Enjoy a 90-minute Bordeaux Garonne cruise with bilingual English/French narration, plus wine and canelé, starting near Eco-Citizen House.
“So, the cruise itself is pretty underwhelming, but I enjoyed being on a boat for an hour and a half. The view of the city for the first few minutes is lovely, but, after that it’s old boats, cranes, average looking buildings. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had perfect English, the tour is very reasonably priced and you get a free drink of your choice included, so it’s good value. Obviously my view is subjective and others seem to have enjoyed it”

“Adequate boat ride. Wine was nice. But if you want any form of factual information forget it. The guide was mainly (90%) speaking French. The information was incredibly limited. There were only 3 English guide books given out so there was next to no chance of obtaining any information from them.”
