For the independent traveller who wants the freedom of UNESCO-listed Bordeaux without hiring a guide, a premium round-trip chauffeured transfer drops you riverside and collects you at an agreed hour — leaving you entirely free to explore, shop, dine, and discover at will. Effortless, flexible, and perfectly timed to your ship.
What to expect
A sleek, air-conditioned vehicle departs the terminal and delivers you to a central Bordeaux drop-off — typically the Quais or Place de la Comédie — within 90 minutes. From there, the city is yours: the Triangle d'Or for luxury shopping, the Darwin Eco-Système for contemporary culture, the Cité du Vin for an immersive wine museum visit (allow 2 hours), or simply a long lunch at a wine-bar on the Rue du Parlement. Your driver is reachable by phone and returns you precisely on schedule.
Good to know
