The hostess was helpful and charming. It was interesting to listen to the history of Bordeaux. Wine and canelli both good. The captain was very good at his job, as well.

First experience with two friends. The cruise was very enjoyable, and so was the guide. We really loved the experience! I recommend it

Very pleasant cruise. Too bad the drink and the canelé aren't served at your seat. They should announce that we have to go get our drinks ourselves.

Phenomenal guide! Perfect amount of time, beautiful views, lots of historical information infused with interesting facts and lots of humour. Our guide was also the barman and made the cannelés for us. Tour was given in both French and English. Our group is bilingual so we got to laugh at all the jokes twice! If I could give him 10 stars I would!

Very pleasant boat trip on the Garonne with top-notch explanations about this beautiful city of Bordeaux, nothing more, nothing less, just perfect. And the wine offered is more than perfect.

Cruise the Garonne River for 1.5 hours aboard the elegant Maddalena, offering stunning views of Bordeaux’s UNESCO-listed waterfront.

Savor a glass of Bordeaux wine (or a soft drink) paired with a traditional canelé, the region's signature pastry.

Enjoy live commentary in French and English, with expert hosts sharing insights about Bordeaux's landmarks and history.

Relax in the air-conditioned indoor lounge or take in 360° views of the city from the open-air rooftop deck, ideal for photos.

Very pleasant cruise on the Garonne! I recommend taking the boat fairly late in the afternoon to catch the sunset!
