I liked it but I think it lacks information from inside the places we visited! Very well run tour. Thank you. I'll hire him back.
Great Self-Guided Tour
johnmC5256TD, Aug 2025
This was an awesome self-guided tour. You can stop & start the tour at any point and proceed in any order, if you prefer. The information provided at each stop was just enough to pique our interest and remember the experience forever. Amazing history of Rennes and the region. If you are here in 2025, access to the beginning of the tour is a little awkward because of construction. No problem, be flexible and enjoy.

It’s great to know the stories sparked your curiosity and left a lasting impression.

The experience is interesting when you do it as a family, everyone participates and the fact that there are puzzles is very good option for children.
