Great tour through a very pretty and historic town. - This was a fun tour, hitting the highlights on a short walk through town. ("Short": about two hours). We weren't in Honfleur very long, and we felt this was a great way to get a sense of the town and its history (and the history of Normandy). Covers three churches, several of the old streets and buildings, the harbor, and more. We've been on several walking tours elsewhere, and this was one of our favorites. Pierre was a great guide, fluent in (at least) French and English. Great details on the large and small of the history. Highly recommended!

Best Guide Ever! - We've done a lot of guided tours over the years but I have to say, Pierre was the best guide we've ever had. He certainly is talented. He had everyone smiling within the fist 15 minutes and we all learned many interesting facts about the history of Honfleur. I won't spoil it for you by going into detail on how he does his tours but just know he's one in a million! Thanks Pierre for a wonderful introduction to Honfleur!! We can't wait to come back and spend more time there.

Fun and Informative Guided Tour - Honfleur is a beautiful place, and our guided tour with Pierre from Honfleur Tours was absolutely one of the highlights from our whole week in France. Just a great experience. We were lucky to be there just before the end of the French school year (we visited on June 20th), and crowds were very small. I came with a group of American college students, and all of us loved it.

Highlight of our trip - What a grand experience! Honfleur is beautiful on its own but to really appreciate its history, its survival, and influence, you must take this private guided tour with Pierre! He is from Honfleur and has great stories. Plus he is quite amusing! Plan to spend time after the tour in the city and take him up on recommendations! You won't go wrong.

Really good guided walking tour of Honfleur - Pierre created a vivid story for Honfleur and its peoples through the years. Interesting facts, animated presentation, and great sense of humor. Plus, he has a wonderful fund of knowledge, so questions get good answers. He's a native of Honfleur, so he has inside information. Plus his English is perfect.

Very knowledgeable and fun guide with a well paced tour - We had a great tour with Pierre who speaks excellent English - he can even make decent jokes. Although it was casual and lighthearted he managed to convey lots of detail about the history and culture of Honfleur and by the end we really felt we had got a handle on the place and could now wander around on our own knowing what, how and why. He also gave us a couple of really excellent restaurant tips that we wouldn’t have found without him. Great fun and great value.
