5.00We embarked on a 1.5-hour boat excursion with Nicolas, a passionate guide who knows the area and the sites of the bay well, resulting in very good current and historical information. Comfortable boat with a maximum of 13 passengers, ideal for a more family-oriented outing.

5.00Nicola runs a very nice boat tour of Dinard and St Malo coast. It was very informative without so much detail as to be boring. I would recommend it to friends.
A great day to remember

5.00Great walk in the bay of Saint Malo, with family on Nicolas's boat. The meeting point is clear, at the foot of the Solidor Tower in Saint Servan. The views are magnificent, both of the ramparts of Saint Malo and the beautiful villas of Dinard, the islands of Petit Bé and Grand Bé. Nicolas is passionate about history and shares little stories that keep you engaged. He adapts to his audience, whether children or adults. And the highlight, a small coffee and Breton galettes to accompany. I recommend it!
