excellent costume guided tour - It was an excellent experience, we learned a lot from the details of the fortress and the trade and also from the overall situation in this age! The lady is super nice, speaks a very exact French (we are German and we understood everything) and she is full of knowledge! We were in Ploermel with Epok Tour: also excellent. THANK YOU to the guides and team

Great visit! - Exceptional visit of Dinan with our Beard guide! Young and old were captivated and really felt like they were traveling in the Middle Ages for a few hours. We highly recommend this visit! (Little tip: remember to ride with your folding seat for people for whom standing is a bit difficult, it allows to enjoy even more static explanation times)
