He has extensive knowledge about the city, its history, and also the little details you should pay attention to. Additionally, his delivery of the tour was very pleasant to listen to and as informative as it was entertaining. I did not notice the time passing and the tour took around two hours! He made sure that nobody got left behind and has sold me on this beautiful city. I would definitely take a tour with Bruno again, merci beaucoup pour ce soir intéressant et amusement! À la prochaine!

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. Bruno is an exceptional guide in all aspects.  We spent several wonderfully enjoyable days with Bruno exploring the vineyards, wineries, towns and historic sites of Saint-Emilion and all across Bordeaux, as well as a lovely day at Bassin d'Arcachon spent climbing the towering sand dunes, cruising the bay in a traditional boat, and a lunch of fresh oysters and french delicacies on the water.  The passion and interest that Bruno has for these parts of France was clearly evident in the way that he shared an abundance of captivating stories and facts about where we were at all times.  Thoughtful and detail oriented, Bruno went above and beyond during our days together, stopping at local markets he knew would have just the local treats we were looking for when we had an extra 15 minutes to spare, or making suggestions about how we might adjust our schedule for the day depending on weather, timing etc.  Bruno was always punctual and dependable, picking us up on time and getting us where we needed to go for our appointments.  When we were lucky Bruno joined us for our tours and tastings, enriching the experience every time.  Warm, funny and friendly, we made fast friends with Bruno and truly enjoyed our time with him.  We look forward to returning to France, and to having Bruno show us more of his amazing countryside.  -Jed & Erin Gushman
