What a wonderful tour from Thomas! He was knowledgeable and was receptive to all of my questions about Caen! This is the perfect tour to get your stay in Caen off to a good start. He not only talked about the history of Caen but also gave you some geographical markers to help you get around the city- which was great for the days that I was going around solo. I highly recommend this tour and being able to spend the morning (or afternoon) with Thomas while you are in Caen!
