Unforgettable experience - Great experience, I highly recommend this boat ride. Mathieu (it seems to me), will make you live his passion for the bay of Saint-Malo with a big smile. He also pales English very well

Great experience - Superb experience on board a boat with limited places to enjoy 100%. Nicolas, the pilot, is a true enthusiast and tells many anecdotes to understand the city from another angle!

Great fortress town cozy and beautiful. - What a wonderful city comes here almost every autumn so when the biggest crowds are over. For the first time spring tides experienced great!!! Nice shops and nice restaurants where you can make reservations also in September.

Family outing - The boat tour was very informative, interesting told us about Saint Malo and surrounding areas. I think there was 11 people that was on the boat, plus the captain. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the island from the water. It was a pleasure surprise that the captain served coffee and biscuits.

Enjoyable 90 minute boat ride with a handsome guide whose French left me wanting to learn French. - Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and Nicholas' presentation. The weather in the mere 90 minutes onboard offered multiple vibes. Nicholas was friendly and easy to ask questions to learn more. And his handsome face certainly made it easy to pay attention. Thanks for a great time!

Buyer beware. Tour far away from cruise port and not convenient as anticipated.. - The tour operator left the dock 15 minutes earlier that the printed ticket posted, leaving us and another party stranded (4 persons). We both were one and three minutes late but an on time departure would have certainly accommodated all. The tour operator was seen not far from the shore and called, but he would not return, He seemed to have an attitude. He forgot this is a service business. This tour is a 30 minute walk from the port. A taxi or Uber is a must. Because of a high volume of tourists in town, none were available and a strenuous walk by senior travelers was very difficult. My booking fee needs to be refunded. Listing the “address” of a far away dock in an unfamiliar city is misleading and
