As part of a bachelorette party, we took this wonderful cruise on June 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The warm welcome from the staff and the exceptional expertise of the qualified bilingual guide made this special day truly memorable. I highly recommend this activity. Thank you again for everything.

Suffocating heat, not enough air conditioning It was hard to hear the explanations because people were talking and chatting without paying attention to the guide’s comments; in that case, the guide should have stepped in Otherwise, the guide was great and the tour was very interesting. A little more air conditioning would have been nice—it was suffocating

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.

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.
