Great experience - We discovered Epok'Tour a year ago with Beard the boilermaker in Dinan. Great experience. This year, GI Joseph Guthrie leads us to Saint-Malo during his release. Mission accomplished: his story fascinated us, we did not see time pass, he knew how to answer all our questions and icing on the cake: we confirm that Saint-Malo was indeed liberated. Thank you Joseph!!!

Engaging Historical Tour - Very engaging and interesting tour with lots of historical details. It's a nice walk around St. Malo Old Town, with many stops along significant historical spots. The tour guide is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of St. Malo, especially military details, during the second world war and shows many pictures, historical documents as well as army equipment. The tour is in French, and it's two hours of walking over cobblestone streets, stairs and even the beach which requires some physical fitness, so be aware of that before booking! If you do speak French and especially if you are interested in military history, I highly recommend this tour.
