We had a fantastic experience with Marc. We visited Mont Saint Michele, Normandy cemetery, and Omaha beach. Marc squeezed in a few extra stops because we had extra time. Overall, Marc is very knowledgeable and knows his way around very well. We were beyond pleased with our experience.

I spent two days touring with Marc around St Malo/ Cote d’Emeraude, Cancale, Dinan and St Suliac. He is an excellent guide and I learned so much about the history of the area— much more than I would have learned touring the area on my own.
Marc knows the area well and his love and pride for Brittany is evident in the tour.
Thanks for a memorable time. I would definitely book with Westcapades again and will recommend to others visiting France.

Looking back on our visit to Normandy and Brittany I can’t express how much Marc’s guidance enhanced our trip. I was traveling with my two adult daughters. It was an amazing two days that we couldn’t have achieved without his helpful and competent care and commentary. Marc truly made our trip exceptional. Thank you!

Geraldine picked us up at our St. Malo hotel for a wonderful day of touring Brittany and Normandy. She took us to many different sites around the coast, as well as inland. She had many fascinating insights, as she had lived in the area for some time. She gave us very detailed instructions on how to visit Mt. Saint Michel to get the most of our experience, including when to eat to avoid the crowds. She provided many travel options as we were touring, depending on how we felt at any moment. In addition, she is an excellent driver, getting around with ease. At the end of a long day of touring, she provided us with an excellent recommendation for dinner across from our hotel. I cannot recommend Westcapades and Geraldine enough. Merci beaucoup!

Marc picked us up at cruise terminal and took us to Mont St. Michel. He took back roads to show us unique natural farm that raises huge pigs, thatched roofs and spectacular photo opportunities for St Michel. Marc shared with us best way to climb up to the abbey. We then traveled to Dinan and walked through an incredible village with magnificent buildings.

The only problem was that the tour was too short due to ship departure. Would have loved to have more time with Marc touring the treasures around the area.

Marc is knowledgeable, friendly and provides a tour you can't do on your own or with a group tour. We would book with him again and suggest you do as well.

We had a truly excellent experience with three adults and three young kids (two of whom that have special needs). The tour was exceptional. Marc picked us up on time at our hotel in his spacious, climate controlled, and comfortable van. He adapted the tour to our preferences, and narrated the journey along the way. I was hesitant to do a tour, but Marc exceeded our expectations in every respect. I will definitely hire Westcapades again when I return to France. This was the best tour experience of our entire trip.

What an amazing trip to Mont St Michel, St Malo and Denin thanks to our amazing driver and tour guide Geraldine. We felt immediately welcomed when she met us at the train station in St Malo. She even brought our son a birthday gift (it was his 12th bday!) So incredibly thoughtful. She provided us with so much helpful information both historically and logistically as we navigated these beautiful spots. We loved St Malo and only wished we could have stayed longer but we had a lot to do. Seeing Mont St Michel in the distance as we drove closer and closer was truly breathtaking. Geraldine gave us helpful hints to avoid the crowds as we entered. Then on to the beautiful medieval town of Denin. It was as if we walked back in time all day. Our long trip from Paris was worth every single minute! Highly recommend!!!

This is the absolute best way to visit Mont St. Michel from Paris. Marc was wonderful, and made sure we had plenty of time to visit each stop. Marc gave great instructions on how to take the train and meet him, and I was surprised by how easy it was. I took the tour with my friend. And as two young women visiting a foreign country we felt very safe taking the train from Paris. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

Thank you for your great review . Our local tourguide really enjoyed this time with you . Our full day tour (since 2001 year now !) is guaranteed as a great moment avoiding the crowd . Our 3 stops minivan (mercedes on rq) tour including our major not to be missed Mont St Michel St.Malo and Dinan is definitely designed for being very comfortable with time and instructions when visiting those unique historic sites ! We are looking forward to your friends and family future tour with Westcapades :-)

My wife and I had a private tour with Marc on May 19, 2022. He picked us up in Dinan and dropped us off in Bayeux. We toured St Malo, Cancale, the coastline, Mont St Michelle. Marc was very informative and was attentive to our desired pace of the tour. We had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed the day.
