We had a great time using this self-guided tour in Saint-Malo. The information was fun to learn and the trivia kept us engaged. A few directions were a bit complicated and we had to backtrack or find the street on Google maps because the directions weren’t clear, but overall we found all we needed to and had a wonderful time exploring the city for the day. Two adults and one 9 year old.

Igor was a superb guide and provided a fantastic experience. I recommend taking any tour where he is the guide. He is knowledgeable, funny, and considerate. The trip to Mont-Saint-Michel was incredible and definitely worth it. Be sure to take the warnings about the number of steps seriously.

The tour was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed it! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and the role play added a very personal, engaging dimension. We highly recommend this tour, without any hesitation. Thank you for 2 fascinating and highly educational hours!

We loved it, we felt like we were going back to 1944, we learned lots of things and we were able to see what it was like in the past and compare it with now, we want more visits like that, we can't wait to come back

Indeed very good activity. Good hotel, good everything.
