From the moment we got to the entrance until the moment we disembarked we were greeted by happy faces and great service, even having the captain wipe down our seats for us. The live commentary was amazing - in English and French. It was informative and funny. A lovely glass of wine and a canele just topped it off. Thank you for a wonderful cruise.

It was a pleasant cruise, though the commentary on Bordeaux was limited. An audio guide in each language would be more helpful, as it would provide much more information. The right bank also has its own history—for example, the Orléans train station was Bordeaux’s first station, etc.

Our guide was very interesting and very friendly, as was the entire staff. The cannelé was delicious, but we would have loved to have had one or two more. It offers a different perspective on Bordeaux. In short, it was a very pleasant cruise, especially since the sun was out.

A nice little cruise; the staff was very friendly. The guided tour was top-notch. No complaints. The glass of white wine and the cannelé were fantastic. Beautiful view of Bordeaux from the boat. The trainee guide handled the group very well. Definitely worth doing.

The team was very friendly, and the guide was very dedicated and knowledgeable about the city of Bordeaux. We had a great time with them—it was very interesting. I recommend them to tourists and locals alike.

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.
