Nantes Customised for Your Group
A private Nantes tour dedicates a guide to your group — the route, the pace, and the focus are tailored to your interests. Nantes’ range (medieval and ducal history, the Atlantic slave trade legacy, Jules Verne’s birthplace, the Machines de l’île, contemporary art and street art, the food and wine scene, the Loire estuary) means a private guide can build a half-day or full-day itinerary around any theme.
Private tours are particularly valuable for visitors with specific interests — the city’s complex relationship with the slave trade (Nantes was France’s largest slave-trading port, and the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery on the quayside is one of Europe’s most powerful slavery memorials), the Jules Verne connection (his birthplace, the museum, and the Machines de l’île that his imagination inspired), or the contemporary art scene (the Voyage à Nantes installations, the HAB Galerie, and the street art of the Île de Nantes).
