Additional Information

Our walking tours offer an alternative to typical historical tours by providing the opportunity to explore the city from the viewpoint of a resident. This experience focuses just as much on the individuals you interact with as the sights you encounter. Our local guides, known as Lokafyers, are enthusiastic about their hometown and keen to impart their wisdom and viewpoints. Given that Lokafyers aren’t full-time tour guides and only host tours sporadically, they offer a unique, candid, and personalized experience not unlike being shown around by a friend. At the conclusion of the tour, you’ll feel at ease navigating through the city and confident that you possess all the necessary knowledge to fully enjoy your visit.

  • Lokafy tours provide a general overview of the city with practical information from a local’s perspective, not detailed historical facts
  • In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)
  • Tours are entirely personalized, please provide the start time, meeting place and information about you so that we can organize the tour
  • This is a walking tour. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • Children below 3 years old are free of charge
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult

Like a day out with a friend - Tour guide Emilie was delightful. Pick up was easily changed to suit my location and of course she was on time. Her passion for Nantes history and culture was obvious. The impressive castle, the tilting buildings, local delicacies, interesting shop fronts, ghost stories and fabulous shopping were certainly highlights. Thanks for the very comprehensive tour with a lovely local. I loved that the tour included a wide variety of topics I was interested in. Being both teachers it was also great that we could share stories about our careers. I don't believe the tour could have been better.

Walking Tour of Nantes with Emilie - Our guide Emilie was terrific. Perfect English and she had even lived in Texas for a period with friends. Our cruise ship shuttle into Nantes had provided incorrect drop-off location information and I had to call Emilie to advise her of our new location. She arrived on her bicycle a few minutes later and we cheerfully began our short walking tour. We started at the Place Saint-Pierre and moved on to the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne a few minutes away. We walked through Place Royale and moved on to Place Graslin, where we stopped at a sidewalk cafe for refreshing drinks and a short rest. At the end of our walk, Emilie assisted my wife and me with tram tickets so we could all ride back to our starting point, where she collected her bicycle and went on her way. It was a nice couple of hours and I highly recommend Emilie for anyone interested in a walking tour of Nantes highlights. We did a short tour, but she sometimes leads tours of several hours length for more detailed insights.
