Reviews
We used this company for two all day tours in Normandy-one day was to Honfleur to a Calvados distillery tour to Beuvron-en-Auge. The other day was to Mont Saint Michel where we had an amazing guided tour of the commune. Both guides - Juliette and Theo - were professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and personable. We could not have had a more enjoyable time with them.
We had the best half day trip with a wine tasting in Saint Emilion. Our tour guide, Dulce, was a gem! So friendly and interesting! She knew so much about the Saint Emilion area. She really made the trip so much more enjoyable! Thank you, Dulce!
Enjoy learning about the history of the castle and visiting the quaint Alsatian towns.
