Self‐assembled organic tubes with linear, bent, crossed and tip‐to‐tip contact geometries show intratube guiding and intertube transfer of input laser light along the tube due to efficient two‐dimensional confinement and one dimensional propagation. The guided light from the tube is exploited to remotely excite a fluorescent meso‐tetratolylporphyrin molecular solid.
