What to do and see in Saint-Malo, Brittany: The Best Sightseeing Tours
Saint-Malo, originally built as a walled citadel guarding the mouth of the Rance river, was for centuries home to feared pirates. They’ve all gone to Davy Jones’ Locker, though, and now it’s Brittany’s most-visited city. Walk the bustling streets of the reconstructed old city and the vast beaches, making sure to stop at the Grande Porte, Porte St-Vincent, the town’s castle with its Musée de la Ville and the Grand Aquarium.

Mount St Michel is alwsys beatiful tough mass tourism is an issue. Ms. Belinda, our driver, made a reservation for us in a good restaurant Chez Victor in Cancal. Ms. Belinda, also allows us to change St Malo that we had visited twice by Dol to visit the beatiful gothic cathedral. Of course we recommend this trip.

From the moment our tour guide picked us up at the train station, I knew I would love this tour guide! She is funny, knowledgeable and witty. Every place, every corner we visited that day, she explained in detail with historic stories which were easy to understand and remember. Not only we had a fantastic time in Mont Saint Michel with her, she also took us to a local fish port for fresh oysters. When we got to Saint Malo, we bumped into traffic and had a hard time finding a parking space. She wouldn’t want to waste our time, and showed us a direction for us to begin our walk and then she managed to catch up after finding a parking space. My friend and I actually decided not to have a proper lunch in order to save time, and then in Saint Malo, she told us to wait her for a few minutes in the middle of our walk in the town. She showed up with two packs of tasty local cookies she bought us in a famous local store, and told us” because you saved money for me at lunch”. But we know she didn’t have to, which was sweet! A fantastic tour guide can definitely make your day and make your tour wonderful, and she is the one!!!

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.
