My son is in the emergency room!

My 2-year-old son fell from the top of the elephant. A height of almost 7m! The guide (David), instead of helping me, goes running. Take away his boat licence!!!

Extensive customized tour by a local expert

Gavin Pryke was an excellent guide. He's a local artist who knows a lot about Nantes' history and communities. I opted for 3 hours solo, and that worked very well. The tour was customized as promised, seeing lots of street art and beautiful streets and buildings, and included interesting things I wouldn't have thought to do, like catching a ferry over to the pretty Trentemoult area. He gave lots of great recommendations for other places to visit and restaurants to try. Be sure to budget for a tip, as guides only get a small cut of the fee.

The guide was excellent...

The guide was excellent but was under the impression I would see the mechanical elephant. When we arrived it was closed and we never got to see it. We chose to have a ferry ride with being weekend and free transport around the city. We however encompassed a lot of the city and its history and I loved it
