faq
Will I get the guide right away?
Yes! As soon as you check out, you’ll receive a link to download the itinerary, the map, and any bonus content. No waiting, no email chase.
Do I need internet access while I’m in Bordeaux?
It helps, but you can preload the Google Map and the PDF guide before heading out. Wi-Fi is also widely available in cafés and hotels.
Can I really just follow this without planning anything else?
Yes—that’s the whole point. I did the research, the legwork, the second-guessing... You just show up and enjoy.
Can I use it on my phone?
Totally. The guide is mobile-friendly and designed for on-the-go use. Open it from your phone, and you're good to explore. Google Maps and links all work seamlessly.
Is this for first-time visitors or people who’ve been before?
Both. If it’s your first time, this will help you skip the guesswork. If you’ve been before, you’ll discover spots even locals love (and likely a few you missed the first time).
How long do I have access?
Forever. There’s no expiry, and you’ll automatically get any future updates if I improve the guide.
Can I print it out?
Yes, although it’s designed for digital use. You can print it if you like having things on paper (I get it—real pens, real plans).
Is this a physical product?
Nope. It’s 100% digital. No shipping, no waiting.
What if I still have questions?
You can always email me at [email protected] —I love helping people explore Bordeaux better.
