5.00Helene was an excellent guide on our tour of Nantes. She loves her city and region, speaks perfect English, and is very friendly. It was a very hot day, and she took us to places with plenty of shade. I highly recommend the tour. Sergio Uruguay

5.00Gavin was an excellent guide. We had a very enjoyable morning, despite the rain, exploring lesser-known parts of the city of Nantes. Gavin also recommended a wonderful restaurant which made the day extra special. These walking tours are a great way to get to know a place and to launch you into your own explorations with greater confidence.
Wonderful views of Nantes.

5.00Great gardens very different by their vegetation. Many benches. A real change of scenery. Discover the pedestrian streets and admire the facades, the many monuments. Discover the markets in the different neighborhoods all facilitated by the many trams. The friendliness of Nantes in trams to give up a seat (!' is 72 years) and inform for connections. I keep a pleasant memory of Nantes
