Great walking tour

Camil shares a lot of very interesting and useful information of Nantes: history, architecture and much more. I can highly recommend his walking tour!

A very sympathetic and helpful guide

I was the only participant on Camil's tour, but that didn't stop him from giving me a great experience! I even told him beforehand that I understood these tours are usually only worthwhile with larger groups and that we could shorten the tour so he wouldn't have to spend so much time for little compensation. However, he was more than happy to give me the full tour, taking his time to show me everything, share interesting stories, and offer great recommendations. I really appreciated his enthusiasm, generosity, and dedication. I can highly recommend taking a tour with Camil!

Fabulous Nantes Tour in English

Camil is an excellent tour guide. He was engaging, funny and full of interesting knowledge about Nantes. Exploring the city was great and he took us to some hidden gems we wouldn't have found on our own. I highly recommend this tour.
