It was a great experience, it’s the best way to see the city, have the information about the places that you want see (museums, exhibitions, streets,etc) and listen to the history of Bordeaux. The information about the city is given very clear, understandable and enthusiastic. Very friendly and helpful staff. Absolutely recommended, especially if you have limited time to see the city :)

Great tour. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bus is clean and comfy and the audio guide is clear and interesting. Takes in all the sites and is helpful in planning your trip.

Took the Bordeaux Hop-On Hop-Off Bus for €24 each for 24hrs. The tour lasts about an hour and a half and is very informative—so much fascinating information about Bordeaux! The driver made a lovely touch by stopping at points of interest to let passengers take photos. We really enjoyed it, especially on such a hot day.

The only downside was that once we crossed the bridge, that part of the route wasn’t as interesting or scenic as the beginning. Overall, a very enjoyable way to see the city.

Honestly such a good tour for anyone. It is really cheap and it included a Bordeaux pastry in a really nice place at the end! I would recomend it a 100%

70 minutes tour around Bordeaux city centre for just €14. Its a good bargain. We were on this bus on Saturday. They have the roof on the top seat which is great as the heat was like 29C. Good bargain and it’s there every 15-30 minutes

They are not a Hop on hop off service so “dressing the bus” as all the other cities that offer this type of service, lead us to expect a service and get frustrated.

So instead to pay and get a 24h ticket to use to visit the city, you pay for a unique round that lasts around 1h (just because they cross the river to show a mishmash absolutely irrelevant. If they focus around the main attractions, the route will probably be done in 30-40min, also because the driver stays at least 4-5min in each one). And I have to agree with the other comments, the other side of the river is easily a waist of time to visit.

As the main tourist attraction are centrally located I wouldn’t recommend the bus, just get a map and easily you can see all the places by walk. I certainly won’t do it again 👎

We took the mini electric train through the city streets, through café terraces. It fit through the tiny streets. Was great. Headsets for translations! Loved it. Got our tickets at the tourist center.

J'ai beaucoup aimé connaître un peu plus la ville de Bordeaux avec le bus turistique. Prix raisonnable, la propreté impeccable, le chauffeur sympa et j'ai trouvé aussi bonne la qualité áudio avec les histoires de chaque coins turístique.

Other side of the river is a a slum and could be missed off.
driver was excellent

Très belle visite de Bordeaux en vision panoramique. Ça permet vraiment d'avoir un aperçu de la ville en 1h10. Les mesures sanitaires sont très bien appliquées. Et cerise sur le gâteau très sympa, un canelé offert à la fin du tour. A faire 👍🙂

Superbe (et longue, ça change de certaines villes) visite guidée dans un bus à impériale. Commentaires intéressants (avec un canal audio dédié aux enfants et donc plus accessible) et accessibles via des écouteurs fournis (gros gros +) Départ très bien situé devant l'Office de tourisme. Les enfants (et les parents) ont adorés. Je recommande +++
