Shady pricing practices/bait and switch here

1.00USE CAUTION BOOKING THIS COMPANY AND TOUR!!! They state "prices from" and initially charges me for a "very small tour", then changed it to the regular tour "up to 24 people" and charged me DOUBLE what everyone else was paying and refused a refund. IF you book, look carefully and shop around. The price you pay will not be what others are paying and may be twice as much. Attempted refunds were refused by Viator and the provider. The tour itself is fine, but the pricing practices encourage by Viator and this tour company are not straight forward.
Clueless tour guide

3.00It was her first tour. Hence, she did not know where to find a public restroom in Deauville, and sent me in search of a cafe, which charged me 5 Euros for a coffee. I missed the tour. When we go to Honfleur, she assumed I wanted to go on my own, and I almost missed the tour because of her stupidity.
Best of old and New France small towns

5.00These two towns were so different but glad we saw each of them. The guide shared so much to make the trip even better. The time we had in each town was adequate for sightseeing. I would recommend this for others.

5.00My husband and I loved this tour and experiencing this stunning part of Normandy! But what really enhanced the tour was our guide, Lawrence. He is exceptionally educated about the history of this region (and France in general), and made these places come to life with his knowledge and passion!
Nice easy tour with free...

5.00Nice easy tour with free time in Honfluer and Deauville. Driver and guide were both great. You only get a little more than an hour of free time in each location after the guided part of the tour. Not really enough time for a sit down meal if that’s your plan, but enough time to get a taste of the area.
