Full description
Full‑day shore excursion from Le Havre
Experience the beauty of Normandy on an intimate full‑day shore excursion from Le Havre to Giverny and Honfleur, limited to just 8 guests for a more personal feel. Depart directly from the Cruise Ship Terminal with your English‑speaking driver‑guide and relax in a comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle as you follow the scenic Seine Valley through rolling countryside.
Monet’s House & Gardens in Giverny
Your first stop is Claude Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny, where you explore the artist’s home and the landscapes that inspired his most famous Impressionist masterpieces. Stroll at your own pace among vibrant flowerbeds, across the Japanese bridge, and around the iconic water‑lily pond, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere that captivated Monet.
Free time in Honfleur
The tour continues to Honfleur, a postcard‑perfect harbor town where the Seine meets the English Channel, known for its narrow, slate‑fronted houses and historic Vieux Bassin. Enjoy free time to wander cobbled streets, browse boutiques and galleries, or choose a harborside café or restaurant for lunch at your own expense.
Comfortable small‑group travel
Throughout the day, your English‑speaking driver‑guide shares stories about Monet, Normandy’s coastal heritage and the landscapes you pass, adding context without rushing your visits. You travel in a comfortable, air‑conditioned minivan with a maximum of 8 participants, offering a relaxed pace and more flexibility than large coach tours.

Reviews
Our guide was excellent, both knowledgeable and friendly. She was especially knowledgeable about the wine industry even before we got to the vineyards
A pleasant short boat ride, beautiful surroundings. But the English translation did not fit with the altered tour, did not mention plenty of formations that the guide was explaining in French and didn't bother to switch to English for the rest of us (yes he knew English), so we missed out on a lot. Plus the guide made fun of english speakers, as evidenced by the pointed laughter in the direction of those wearing headphones.
Perfect half day trip to actual vineyards and two wineries with different approaches to their craft. Comfortable van with smaller group (9 people). Guide was from the area, so was knowledgeable about the history and also about the growing traditions, all done personably and with humor.
