Our one day tour to Honfleur and Etretat was one of the highlights of our 11 day stay in France. And the credit for this goes to Olga, our private guide. She was FANTASTIC. Again, this was one of our most enjoyable experiences of the entire trip. I would choose this company over and over again and I have been a travel consultant for over 20 years. Excellent day. Thank you, Olga! And thank you too, Cyrus. I so glad I found your company!

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting Rouen, Honfleur, and Etretat. Each place offered something different. Cyrus was a wonderful guide; she introduced us to each place and shared informative highlights while walking us around a bit.
Then she left us plenty of time to explore by ourselves. Generally speaking, this tour is a great way to see a part of Normandy with zero stress. The driver was also wonderful and the car was immaculate- we were very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!
