Vert Bordeaux is an eco-friendly guided tour and excursion agency based in Bordeaux. We offer themed tours of Bordeaux (sweet specialties, the Middle Ages, the quays of Bordeaux…) as well as small-group excursions from Bordeaux to the Gironde (Saint-Emilion, Médoc, Arcachon…).
Our mission is simple: to help you (re)discover Bordeaux and Gironde. Our aim is to enable you to find the visit or excursion that suits you: historical heritage, vineyards, local specialities, natural areas, meetings with shopkeepers and winegrowers… We’re bound to have a visit or excursion to suit you! And if that’s not the case, contact us and we’ll be delighted to create the tour of your dreams. And, of course, all of this is complemented by convivial moments with our local guides.

WHO IS VERT BORDEAUX?
EMMANUEL
Emmanuel was born in Bordeaux. He spent several years in Paris and abroad before coming back to Bordeaux in 2019. Founder, tour guide and driver of Vert Bordeaux, he loves history, cinema, sweet specialities and going out to explore territories (in Gironde or elsewhere)! He is also very sensitive to ecology and environmental issues and tries to do his best on a daily basis to contribute to the change of consumption habits and the preservation of the environment. For him, guiding and accompanying travellers means giving them the keys to understanding what they see, ensuring their comfort and above all having a memorable time that we will talk about on winter evenings !

- 1 historic monument in Gironde: the Pont de Pierre in Bordeaux, for the view it offers over the Garonne and the city’s quays, each time different.
- 1 natural site in Gironde: the Garonne, wide, muddy, capricious and unflappable.
- 1 travel souvenir: the High Mountain Archaeology Museum in Salta, Argentina, with its Inca funerary objects and mummies found at an altitude of over 5000 metres. A journey through time.
