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.

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.
