The cruise was very enjoyable,boat had small capacity,maybe about 30 people so very comfortable. Our guide was lovely,very informative and switching between French and English seemlessly. Interesting to taste a Canelé and to enjoy a glass of wine on the trip. Well worth the money!

Pleasant and instructive cruise. The tour guide was very interesting to listen to, and we learned a lot about Bordeaux's history. It was just a shame there was no dry white wine to taste. I recommend this cruise

Enjoyable, relaxing and informative cruise. Knowledgeable and personable host/guide. History of region and port features and building usage, over time, explained well with a sense of humour.

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 knowledgable tour host, and she had excellent English skills, and could switch languages seamlessly during her commentary. She is a real asset.
