"This tour was fantastic and a must-do. Guide Kevin was enthusiastic, informative and very fun. Did a good job balancing French and English! Dune climb was a little toasty but enjoyable…my husband and I relaxed at the top while the group traversed further and met us at the bottom…so Kevin was flexible. Oyster lunch was fabulous and filling (with options if you don’t like oysters!). An hour at the beach was a perfect way to end the day. We returned later than anticipated, which was totally fine by us!"

About Bordeaux Oyster Tastings
An oyster tasting in Bordeaux is as direct as food gets — freshly shucked oysters, often at the farm itself, with a grower who can tell you exactly which water each one came from.
Oysters are year-round in France (the ‘r-month’ rule is about spawning texture, not safety) — but they’re at their firmest from autumn to spring.

What Travelers Say
"It was an excellent tour thanks to Kevin. He was easy to talk to, had great stories and made all of us feel very comfortable. The visit times for each part of the tour were spot on. We loved visiting the dunes and his explanations about them. The food part of the tour was outstanding. We will remember that food experience forever."
"This tour was AMAZING! One of the best tours we did in Bordeaux. The Dune du Pilat is massive and the pictures cannot do it justice - it is so beautiful! Kevin was an amazing guide and walked us through the dunes, while providing great information and making sure everyone in the group was comfortable. I will be dreaming of the oysters and shrimp we had for lunch, as well as the white wine. The town of Arcachon is gorgeous as well and it was fun to walk around and have some free time. Thank you so much Kevin for providing this wonderful experience!"

"The day was more than expected. Time at dune du Pilat was great with spectacular views. Tour guide was very informative and helpful to accommodate us. My husband said the oysters were best he’s ever had. And I truly enjoyed the shrimp. The shrimp were the freshest and biggest I ever had. Nice way to end the day at Arcachon beach front. Recommend this tour to everyone."

"I can’t say enough good things about the Dunes/Oysters Tasting/Arcachon tour. First of all, our guide Kevin picked us up at our hotel, which was such a gift. Not many guides offer that luxury. Kevin was an amazing guide; he was really funny, engaging with everyone, and very knowledgeable. He’s a true local and has many insights and interesting stories about the region. The Dunes were incredible, and the lunch was a once-in-lifetime experience. He chose a restaurant that is off the beaten path, and we indulged ourselves with pâté and escargot to start, great wine, and finally delicious oysters and shrimp. We sat on a beautiful terrace overlooking the water. It was amazing. Arcachon was last, and the beautiful promenade by the ocean was the perfect way to enjoy the sunny weather and stunning scenery. Thank you Kevin for a perfect day. I highly recommend this tour."
