Stands out as one of the most well-organized tours we have taken

5.00We liked how the guide greeted us by our names and then during the excursion, unraveled the cultural richness of these two seaside towns. Upon seeing Honfleur, we understood why so many painters have been inspired by this charming village. Deauville has a different vibe (more upscale) with its attractive sandy beaches and fancy shops. For anyone docking in Le Havre this excursion is a must-do.
Amazing experience northern France

5.00As a first time cruiser docking in Le Havre, this Honfleur and Deauville shore excursion stands out as one of the most memorable part of my cruise journey. The meeting point was easy to find. I enjoyed the way the guide enlightened the group about the striking contrast between the two towns. The tour also included restroom stops, which was another convenience.

5.00Honfleur was stunning, especially around the old harbor and we wish we could spend more time there. Everything felt easy, smooth, and perfectly paced. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a calm day in France, without the long ride to Paris and back.

5.00Such a pleasant and well-organized tour. The bus was comfortable, the schedule was relaxed, and the scenery was stunning the whole way. We had just enough time to wander Honfleur’s charming streets and enjoy the elegance of Deauville. Our guide made the experience even better with his warmth and expert knowledge. Highly recommended.

5.00Having stopped in Le Havre, I wanted a way to spend time and this excursion was really enjoyable. I was a little worried about fitting it all in during a port day, but it was so properly planned, thanks to the guide and the tour company. And as a photography enthusiast, this was a day I will remember.

5.00My wife and I already visited Paris last year, so we wanted something easy and nice. Honfleur and Deauville were stunning, and our guide Lawrence made the day smooth, fun and very well organized.
That was a perfect day

5.00If you’ve already seen Paris, this tour is the perfect way to discover a calmer, more charming side of France. Both towns were beautiful, and Lawrence was an excellent, informative guide and super funny. Easy communication with tour operator. Clean and comfortable bus. Absolutely worth it.
