I had such a good time with my guide, who was personable and friendly. The day was flexible, within the framework of the scheduled tour. I was traveling solo, so this felt like I was being shown around by a friend. It was a somewhat chilly day in November, so there were no crowds. I highly recommend this tour!

Our private tour of Bayeux, Honfleur and Pays d’ Auge was disappointing. We felt that the day unplanned and disorganized. Our driver didn’t have a specific itinerary and he never showed us Bayeux. We first went to the cheese factory and then drove around aimlessly for quite some time. We finally landed in Honfleur for lunch. After we remarked that we wanted to see the cathedral we did visit that. We finished the day with the Calvados Experience. While our driver was pleasant and friendly, he really didn’t tell us what we were seeing unless we asked. We were hoping to see and learn more about the region and its history. The cheese factory and the Calvados Experience was interesting and the countryside was beautiful but in 9 hours we only made 4 stops. If we wanted to wander aimlessly we would have rented a car. We had a nice day but this fell way short of our expectations.

We had a great day on this private tour. Our guide was very accommodating, especially since several in our party of four had mobility issues. She did a great job of taking us around Honfleur and it was great to see the country side in the area and especially the little town we visited in Pays d'Auge. Thanks for making it a great day for us.

Our guide was Roman and we were lucky enough to have him on two of our other tours. His knowledge and passion for the history of Normandy was very impressive. These small towns were picturesque and I especially liked Honfleur. The cobblestone streets, harbor, church and shops were interesting and quaint. That being said, we didn't go to Pays d'Auge but to a lovely beach town instead, not sure why it was changed.

Honfleur was the start of the trip! We recommend this tour very highly. Thanks Mat, our guide...

Our tour-guide Adrien was knowledgable, friendly, fluent in English and full of wonderful ideas that took us off the beaten path. He was our guide on two tours: a group tour to Mt. St. Michel and a private tour to the Pays D'Auge and Honfleur. Knowing my interest in military history, he took side-roads that led to important but mostly-forgotten battle sites. A memorable tour led by an extraordinary young man.

I was surprised when the guide showed up and asked me what we were going to do. I thought thatn was what you did.
The guide was knowledgeable and very personable, but had no instructions on the tour itinerary..

Our tour guide was brilliant and combined his extensive local knowledge with a friendly style. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the real provincial France.

Had a very good guide who knew her stuff and had a good command of English. Enjoyed seeing the Bayeux Tapestry a great deal, but was surprised when I had to pay for the admission price after spending so much on a private tour. Enjoyed Honfleur as well and appreciated the guide getting us by Utah Beach and the American Cemetary as well. Buying the guide lunch was another unexpected cost. Be prepared for additional costs.
