The places are beautiful and the views espectacular. The driver only spoke a little English, we were scheduled to leave at 9:00 am but we did not see him until 9:45, he was late but when we saw him he was holding his phone displaying my name and was hard to see. Overall the trip was good. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your feedback Sonia! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful places and spectacular views during the trip. We sincerely apologize for the confusion at the start of the day. Please know that our driver was at the terminal at 9:00 AM as scheduled and was actively going around the terminal looking for you and attempted to call as well. We regret that this caused a delay, and we will work on improving visibility and communication to ensure a smoother experience for our guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we’re glad the overall trip was a positive one.
Drove myself to Entreat and Honfluer, wonderful places to visit, especially if you are interested in Impressionist painters.
Our driver, Jahl, made the day so enjoyable and stress free. He arrived at our boat ten minutes ahead of time. When we misjudged where he was parked waiting for us, after visiting beautiful Etretat, he got out of his vehicle and walked to where we were and escorted us back to his van. On the way back to the boat, we mentioned that we needed to go to a pharmacy for some Tylenol. He found one and waited by the curb while we went inside. He was very kind and knowledgeable. One of our best tours thanks to him.

It was our pleasure to have shared this time with you and your family. Thank you so much for booking your tour with us and we hope to see you again in France some time in the future. Bon Voyage !
Étretat experience was a one of a kind! It was a dream to me! Honfleur is such a relaxing place to visit, lovely Normandie!
Hello Susana, Good day and thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It was our pleasure to show you around the beautiful region of Normandy. We wish a pleasant journey ahead and we hope to see you here again some time in the future. Bon voyage !
Étretat, has one of the most beautiful beaches in Normandy. Very welcoming and very touristy village. Difficulties in parking.

We wish you a pleasant journey ahead and we hope to see you again in Normandy some time in the future. Merci beaucoup !
Our tour was for a driver to take us to Honfleur and Etretat. Both locations were even better than expected and wonderful. The French driver was on time and very nice. He did not speak English but we knew that he wouldn’t. It was a wonderful day!! Highly recommend as driving and parking is not easy in these locations and he dropped us off exactly where we wanted.

Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with the team. We wish you a pleasant journey ahead and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again here in Normandy.
If you're in the area, it's nice to go and see. We found it very touristy and crowded, you can hardly park the car, but can be done to walk it (1.5km)
Dear Guest, Good day and thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that we do not understand the original language which you have written the review but we tried to translate it via Google Translate. We do understand that Etretat can be quite touristy especially in summer. Nonetheless, we hope that you are able to have a good day and was able to enjoy the cliffs and seaside. Best Regards, Jerome
This was an overpriced driving tour. Driver spoke little English, wouldn't speak to us, wouldn't answer questions about the region or options of what to see. He was late and we waited almost 1/2 hour for him at the start of the tour as well as in Honfleur; he was not parked where he said he'd be waiting. In most ports served by Viator, a driver serves as both driver and guide for a full day tour, is fluent in the language requested and will talk with guests during the tour. (One doesn't need to pay for another person to occupy the best seat in a vehicle.) Maybe France is just different in this regard. On the positive side, the cliffs in Etretat were beautiful. There are coastal paths to hike up; take water along and sunscreen if sunny. Honfleur was quaint. Deauville was only good for a very crowded beach or high-end shopping.
Dear Kirsten, Bonjour, Thanks for your comment, just to clarify for the others who are reading this comment, you have booked a self-guided tours, which means to explore on your own, we have in our range of products a guided tour option but it looks you were not interested to book this option as it is a higher price. To book a taxi is more expensive with less quality of service, also we have exchanged with you by email to explain that you will explore on your own but it looks you forgot it, our drivers are not guide and this is not safe to be guide, to drive as you may aware we need to stay focus on road. Regarding your waiting time, driver was waiting for you at the cruise terminal on time but you have not seen the driver with the display, we also have contacted you without answerw We would appreciate you to not act in bad faith because it is not reflecting the reality and give a bad opinion of our services. Kind regards, Owner
Beautiful spectacle of nature. A beach divides two rock walls and overlooks the village on this beach. You can take a walk either x reach the western or from the beach or from two paths.

We are glad that you liked your tour of Etretat and to have discovered one of the top charming place in Normandy ! we have been pleased to be part of your memories. All the best, kind regards, Normandy Excursions by Navette Plus
We chose to combine Etretat and Honfleur in one day. Service was good, and the cost relates to the Service exclusively driving, there was no guide or comments along the way (the driver did not speak much English and no Spanish, and we did not speak much French) but was punctual at the cruise terminal sde Le Havre, and from there took us first to Etretat where we were given a couple of hours to walk along the cliffs and beach area, enough time to meet and climb the Church, go to the cliffs, and rest in one of the restaurants on the beach. At the agreed time, we waited again for the driver and took us to the center of Honfleur, where we spent a couple of hours walking, and ate lunch in a very good restaurant. At the time you tell us, we pass by and return to the city of Le Havre, where the cruise departed. They were punctual, the van in good condition. We would have liked to have been able to have more communication with the person who was driving but it was a good day and had the best disposition with us.
