5.00Beautiful drive to Giverny and Rose was a wonderful guide through the countryside. Monet gardens and home was spectacular. The walk through Rouen was great too. Highly recommend it and recommend Rose as your guide.

5.00We had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide Manon was very knowledgeable on the history of Rouen & Monet. She even helped us with dinner reservations. Great tour guide. We all enjoyed our day.
Excellent!

4.00As other reviewers have stated, we spent a lot of time in the car. Giverny was fantastic and our guide was incredibly helpful in getting through the crowd and making our visit there enjoyable. Gardens and house were amazing and the timing of our visit perfect for seeing unbelievable gardens. We felt like we were in a Monet painting!. Rouen was a bit disappointing. Not much there, even for Joan of Arc fans. Our guide made our long day a lot of fun.
Good, but lots of driving

3.00Great trip but not gonna lie, a bit too much driving from Bayeux. It was about a 9 hour day, and about half of that was spent driving. This is not the guide or the company’s fault; I just didn’t do the math to see how much time was spent in the car.
A jam packed day, but worth it!

5.00This is a very busy day, but it's worth it. We didn't feel rushed at all, but it was non-stop for our guide since he did all of the driving, too. We were lucky enough to have the same guide for two excursion days and he was THE BEST! While he drove us to our sites, we were able to converse all about architecture, history, politics, French life, etc. He was personable, funny, and great with our children. He alone was worth the tours. Giverny was gorgeous. It was nice to have alone time to explore the gardens as a family. Rouen was especially crowded on the day we went, but it was neat to see the spots where Joan of Arc had her final moments. Again though, our guide made it all worth it because he loves history and we could ask any question and he knew the answer. We felt so enlightened and educated, in a fun way. It was worth every penny!
Adrien C. is Wonderful!!

5.00We spent a few days with touring Normandy with our guide, Adrien C.- May 26-29, 2019. My husband and I were totally impressed by his pleasant demeanor and his wealth of information. Adrien was incredibly knowledgeable and although my husband has a good understanding of D-Day and WWII, he came away with a newfound understanding of the events and deeper insights. Also, we had fun and enjoyed spending our days with Adrien C! He started our days with a smile and pleasant personality, and dropped us off back at our hotel, feeling like we just had the best tour ever! We highly recommend the Normandy Tours and suggest that you ask for Adrien C. as your guide. You won’t be disappointed!
