Fantastic Family Tour

5.00Nicholas took my family on a fantastic tour of Dinard and St Malo. We have mixed capacity to understand French so it was great to be able to have an English language tour. This was a highlight of our trip and was a highlight for everyone from our 6 year old to his grandparents. We learned a lot and Nicholas was very accommodating.
Discovery of Dinard Bay and Saint Malo

5.00The boat tour was very informative, interesting told us about Saint Malo and surrounding areas. I think there was 11 people that was on the boat, plus the captain. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the island from the water. It was a pleasure surprise that the captain served coffee and biscuits.
Great Tour
