Guided tours Saint-Malo
My range of visits extends from Saint-Malo to Dinan via Dinard and the Rance estuary.
About me
I have always been in love with my beautiful region (Saint-Malo and surroundings) and love to share its history and secrets. My tours are designed for you, whether you’re from here or elsewhere!
I was born on the banks of the river Rance and rocked by the rhythm of the tides before leaving to discover Germany and live one of my other passions, foreign languages and discovering new cultures. These languages (German, English) allow me to reach a wide audience today.
When I returned home, I immediately wanted to contribute to the development of Saint-Malo’s heritage and offer cultural tours accessible to all. With this in mind, I now offer original and customisable tours. I look forward to meeting you for an enlightening and refreshing tour!
I hold the official tour guide’s licence no. GC183510P.
I am also a translator/interpreter, you can find more information on my homepage www.alexandradurand.com

F.A.Q
How long does a guided tour of Saint-Malo, Dinard, Dinan, or Saint-Suliac last?
The “classic” tours last approximately 1.5 hours. However, depending on your needs, I can adapt my itinerary and am happy to offer longer tours lasting 2 hours, 2.5 hours, or even half a day or a full day.
Do I need to book in advance?
In principle, I strongly recommend that you book in advance, especially for tours planned between March and October. However, you can always contact me on the spur of the moment and we can decide on a tour slot that suits both our schedules.
Do you offer tours in English or German?
Yes! I am delighted to conduct all my tours in German and English. Foreign languages are a passion of mine!
Are the tours suitable for team building?
Absolutely! For a relaxing break before or after your seminar or team-building day, my tours are full of interesting anecdotes and can be enhanced with a quiz to complete individually or as a team.
Are the tours suitable for children?
Yes, my tours are suitable for families. I tailor my tours to children, who generally love anecdotes and stories about pirates.
What will we discover during the tour?
I will send you a short summary of the tour by email after you have described what you would like to discover.
Are dogs welcome?
Dogs on a leash are welcome on all my tours.
How many people per group?
Small groups offer greater comfort and interaction, but groups of up to 45 people are welcome: I can use a microphone with a mini amplifier if necessary. For larger groups that need to be split up, I can work with colleagues.
Where does the tour start?
For tours of Saint-Malo, the meeting point is usually in front of the tourist office on the Esplanade Saint-Vincent, but it is also possible to start at a location of your choice, for example in front of your hotel.
