5.00Our tour guide. Margaret was great. We were delayed in getting off the ship and she adjusted our itinerary to make up for the time lost. We saw the house of Victor Hugo and saw the castle ruins

5.00When I booked I read small group but it ended up a private tour for the 4 of us, two older couples 69, 71, 72, 80. We were greeted by Ine our guide at the port. She was friendly and very attentive and saw our ages and offered safer and easier routes to mitigate the challenges of uneven pavement and uneven outside stairs and avoid those with no handrails. There is considerable climbing and walking involved my wife reached her 10000 steps while on tour. The port/town is very interesting and charming with Ine's knowledge shining through repeatedly. We toured the church, the old market area, Victor Hugo's house and the Cornet Castle got to see and hear the noontime cannon shot as well. The highlight was undoubtedly the Hugo house, which was included, and offered up so much to see. His house like his books had so many intricate details. Our house guide Montaine was also excellent. The garden, the views everything about it oh so memorable. The little channel island of Guernsey stands tall against Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool as our other cruise destinations. So glad we did this tour. Highly recommended.
