The boat trip was a great experience to see at Malo and the forts from the water. On a scorching hot day it was lovely and cool. Lots of shade in the boat , very comfortable. Marin was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.
Very nice cruise in the bay of St Malo Dinard, very friendly guide-skipper, local to the area, who knows the region and its history well, and tells it very well. Very comfortable boat with the possibility to shelter from the sun and wind. Great moment, thank you!
Very interesting visit, kindness, professionalism, loves his job!! Thank you, Nicolas, we will be back soon
Awesome. Nicolas is a guide who is passionate about his region, its history, and has the gift of sharing his knowledge with us. Thanks again. An excursion not to be missed.
Perfect outing at sea: great boat, excellent guide (thank you, Nicolas). I highly recommend it!!!
We 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.
Commentator extremely rude and arrogant. No control over group of passengers whom roamed around the boat. Will never use this company again
Hello, I believe you may have made a mistake regarding the shipping company. My boat is a small blue and white vessel with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers on board, and all safety procedures are strictly followed at all times. Could you please double-check this before keeping this review posted? Kind regards, Nicolas
A very beautiful excursion that I highly recommend doing
Nicola 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 Nicolas told us a lot of the history of St. Malo. We even got Coffee and cookies
