Family travel

I travelled to Tours with my daughter. We stayed 5 days in an Airbnb not too far from the centre. We found public transport affordable and safe. We found the city has a relaxed atmosphere and people were very happy to help as much as they could. A lot of people are happy to speak English if needed.

Tours is pretty safe, though I usually travel by bike to avoid getting caught in a situation at night. I’d still recommend to take the public transports with another person at night, else it’s all great

Overall the city is very safe. But like every European cities, some places/neighborhoods aren’t great to visit at night alone. For example : Place Plum is fine during the day you can take a coffee alone. But a night I would recommend going with friends. But it’s a really nice place to party !

Tours is a small city with lots of very friendly people. Most people are helpful when needed but otherwise keep to themselves. I’ve never had any issues with safety. I live in the city centre not far from the bar/nightclub area.
