I was a very nice experience. We did not want to travel 3 hours to Paris so decided on this instead. Deauville was nice, we strolled the boardwalk on a beautiful beach. Honfluer was a wonderful town full of history

Many people go to Paris at this stop, but we’ve been there many times and preferred to stay more local. This tour met all of our needs, showing off some beautiful local towns. Our guide, Bastien, was easy to understand, friendly, and overall very helpful. While these two towns were mostly to be explored on our own, Bastien gave good advice about what we could do in our (unfortunately) limited time. Overall, we were very happy to have taken this tour.

Great tour. We chose this as an alternative to a day in Paris on our cruise stop. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed listening to his point of views as a local of the region.

We were in port 11 hours. This excursion was not even six. I wish I had just gotten a cab or uber. Not enough time in either city to even grab a bite to eat. I tried and had to leave food on the table to rush back to bus. Didn’t have time then to see any of the city on my own or even to buy a little magnet. I knew the excursion was short but save your money and just take a cab to Honfleur and visit for 11 hours instead. Tour guide was nice but the tour needs to be hours longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Deauville and Honfleur. Our guide Bastien was very knowledgeable and proud to show us his beautiful hometown. The large, pristine beach and boardwalk in Deauville were beautiful and there are a lot of shops and markets to explore. Honfleur was the highlight of this excursion for me. I just loved the charm and character of this old seaside town. I would definitely recommend this excursion.
