Find Another Tour

Our group was disappointed with the tour and guide interaction was contentious. Being totally unfamiliar with Rouen, we looked forward to a well-orchestrated tour with historical information, and this tour did not meet our expectations. We could not answer, “What do you want to see or where do you want to go?” We asked about the age of historic buildings, and the vague answer “Gothic period” was not sufficient. I feel we overpaid with little-quality delivery. Comparatively speaking, we did a similar tour in London last week, which was spectacular. We do not recommend this tour and feel we were far over charged for what was delivered.

Operator response

We understand the tour may not have matched your expectations. As this was a private tour, the guide asked about your interests to tailor the experience, which we always encourage. From the guide’s account, it seems there was some misunderstanding, as a private experience had been arranged, not a shared one. The tour was delivered as described, and our guide, who has conducted many other tours receiving 4–5 star reviews, is someone we continue to work with due to their consistent positive feedback.

Awesome walking tour

We did a private walking tour with Ludovic in Rouen. It was simply superb. He had clearly prepared, practiced and polished his presentation which was very clear, informative and entertaining. This was the best walking tour we have ever taken, and we have been on some excellent ones. He even recommended a delicious, non-touristy restaurant near the Cathedral of Notre Dame--Brasserie Paul. We could not recommend him more highly.

We're so happy you had a positive experience. Thank you for recommending us!

Very beautiful historic area. Some nighttime insecurity. Parking too expensive.

Interesting city to visit. The historic area is well worth it, for its architecture, history and culture. Some insecurity during the night. Non-existent police. Very high parking prices, a rip-off for tourists!

Superb Private Tour Guide

Marc was a superb guide! He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, communicative, and attentive. He clearly enjoys being a guide. His English is excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable regarding his native Rouen. Marc is a student of history, architecture, and arts, and therefore could answer all our questions. He showed us many out-of-the-way locations which enlivened our understanding of old town Rouen. Please treat yourself to a private tour with Marc.

Highlights the best of Rouen!

My sister and I had a lovely time with Antoine. He gave us a very good overview of Rouen’s highlights - the buildings, museums and history. I will definitely recommend this tour!

Sorely disappointed

The description of the tour included a “professional guide”. There was nothing professional or knowledgeable about our guide. To start, she was horribly disorganized. Asked us to meet her in front of the Cathedral where she would be waiting wearing a white cap. We waited and waited and finally called her and she explained that we were in the wrong place. We walked around several blocks and 15 minutes later found ourselves back at the same starting place where she walks up to us in a RED cap and then laughed it off telling us she was “off”. Then to start the tour, she asks us what we want to know and do we have any questions? How can we have questions when the walking tour has not even begun? She knew very little about the cathedral, kept forgetting things (again saying she was “off” because she had only just returned from a long holiday). We were so sorry to have had such a less than mediocre experience. Such a waste of money, but mostly a waste of what might have otherwise been a lovely afternoon in Rouen on our own.

Operator response

Dear Customer, Sorry to hear you did not have a tour as you expected. Our guide is a licensed, professional guide in France and has been guiding for years in that area, she has done many tours for various clients in Rouen and other cities in the area, for our clients and others. The fact that a guide asks clients upon start what they would like is a part of the procedure to know if they have special wishes. The tour description mentions: "Possible customizing on tour with your local guide on the spot". Thanks again for your feedback. Tina Global Guide Services

Great walking tour with a local guide

We had a wonderful walking tour with Dominique. The tour was so interesting, so even our teenagers enjoyed it. Dominique is a local person and talked a lot about local history and his personal experience. He also is an expert in art and his explanation was great. I would recommend to everybody to start their days in Rouen with this walking tour.
