Good to know

  • This tour takes place on city streets alongside traffic, so we recommend riders who feel comfortable cycling in an urban environment. If you're unsure or haven't cycled recently, feel free to reach out — we're happy to help you decide if this tour is right for you.
  • Getting there: Public transport in Bordeaux can be unpredictable, so we recommend allowing extra travel time. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure — we offer a 5-minute grace period, but tours leave on schedule to respect everyone's time. Unfortunately, late arrivals, missed departures, and last-minute cancellations cannot be refunded.
  • E-bike & classic bike groups: If the minimum number of participants for a dedicated e-bike or classic bike group isn't reached, we may combine both into a single group. Don't worry — the route, the distance, the guides, and the fun stay exactly the same. It's not about the bike, it's about the experience.
  • A small team, a big passion Monsieur Bacchus is a small, locally run company. Every tour is the result of thoughtful preparation to make your experience safe, personal, and unforgettable. By joining us, you're supporting the local economy and becoming part of Bordeaux's story. If your guide made your day, a tip is always a lovely way to say thanks.
