Samuel is a superb guide. As a native of the region, he has tremendous knowledge of the whole area and of the history of Mont Saint Michel. He knew the time of day to go to the Mont to avoid the biggest crowds and his English is excellent (necessary since my French is quite limited!). Highly recommend him.…

Samuel customized an afternoon for my daughter and me based on our interests and where we were staying in Brittany. His knowledge of the Dinan and Rennes made our visit memorable and so much more enjoyable than if we had simply wandered on our own. They are both beautiful cities and we felt fortunate to have found Samuel to show us this unique area of France.…

We had a fantastic time while staying at Samuel's b n b in the lovely town of Combourg. The entire town came out for Fête de la musique and at least 15 groups played their tunes! We loved being serenaded by the local singing group who sang traditional French sailor songs from Bretagne accompanied by accordion players. Samuel is a superb tour guide. He is friendly, informative and knows his history ! We spent 4 days touring with him and visited Saint Malo, Dinan, Dinard, Cancale, Fougères, Mont St. Michel and the capital Rennes. So much to see and learn yet we still weren't able to see everything. Another visit for sure.…

We engaged Samuel to give us a private tour of St Malo and had an incredible time. My friend Samuel is very well versed in the history of this great ville and explained everything succinctly. Would highly recommend anyone seeking a tour of St Malo or other places in Brittany to contact Samuel.…

Thanks very much for your kind words about the tour we have done in Saint Malo. It was really nice to tell you more about its history, show you a few "hidden" places, and talk about the book "All the light we cannot see". You are always welcome in Bretagne !

In mid-May 2022 my life partner and I spent a week in Dinan, France, a beautiful city with a medieval old town. Our intention was to use it as a base for traveling in Brittany. On two of the days, we arranged tours with Samuel from Visite Bretagne. On day one we went to Mont St. Michel and the city of St. Malo and on day two we visited Cap Fréhel and the lighthouse, the Château de La Roche Goyon, and the city of Dinard, all on the west coast. It was very easy to book the tours via email as he provided us with options that we had not thought of. He is a very personable and knowledgeable gentleman and his firsthand knowledge of the area provided us with insights that we would not have gotten any other way. For English speakers, his command of the language is excellent. We liked the fact that he drove through the countryside rather than the highways on our trips. He has a newish large, comfortable car and is a courteous and safe driver. He picked us up on time and got us back as scheduled. We never felt rushed and certainly got our money’s worth. When he dropped us off the second day, we mentioned that we had to drag our bags a kilometer to the train station as the taxis in Dinan are limited, and we suspect that the ones that were available did not want to take us such a short distance despite our willingness to pay a premium. He offered to take us but had clients and would have to take us very early as we were out-of-the-way. Beyond the call of duty, he contacted a number of colleagues and managed to arrange transportation for us. We would recommend Samuel and Visite Bretagne without reservation.…
