We describe calculations of the properties of quantum fluids inside nanotubes of various sizes. Very small radius ($R$) pores confine the gases to a line, so that a one-dimensional (1D) approximation is applicable; the low temperature behavior of 1D $^4$He is discussed. Somewhat larger pores permit the particles to move off axis, resulting eventually in a transition to a cylindrical shell phase--a thin film near the tube wall; we explored this behavior for H$_2$. At even larger $R\sim 1$ nm, both the shell phase and an axial phase are present. Results showing strong binding of cylindrical liquids $^4$He and $^3$He are discussed.
