We had a fun, full day in Normandy. Our driver was excellent, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He answered our many questions patiently. It was a very memorable experience for art and history lovers both!
We booked this trip to Ruen, Giverny and Honfluer thru Viator almost last minute after other tour providet canceled our trip without any explanation two weeks before our trip. I can honestly say I'm glad they did. Because we met Valerie the tour guide and Alexander the driver. They picked us up at the hotel of our choice. Valerie was in constant communication with us prior to pick up. The Mercedes mini van was clean and comfortable. The tour started as soon as they picked us up. Valerie talked the whole time sharing so much interesting information about artistic and historic significance of the area we were visiting. She also speaks 7 languages. Since, we had a multi-lingual group it was a huge plus. In addition, both Alexander and Valerie were polite and professional. We look forward to booking future tours with them. Thank you!
