James_W, Aug 2023
One of our favorite day trips ever!
What an absolutely delightful day we enjoyed with our guide, Rose! She was the greatest - knowledgeable, funny, efficient, and kind. We got to experience even more than we hoped for, and all because of Rose. Loved the Bayeaux Tapestry, and Honfleur was as charming as we had hoped. Highly recommended!

Dynamic History of Normandy
If you enjoy history and learning about cultural roots, this tour is for you! We started in Bayeux with the Tapestry and were enthralled from then on with the history and exploits of William the Conqueror and his family. The tour ended in Caen at William the Conqueror’s burial site, so we literally had a cradle to the grave experience with a traverse through the Norman countryside stopping at key sites and being steeped in his extraordinary life and coming away with an understanding of his amazing impact and contributions to western civilization.
