Nice overview - A nice tour for seeing the main sights and for learning interesting facts (vs some of the myths out there). Elodie was very pleasant and great with pointing out fun architectural details one would otherwise miss. A plus was that our group was much smaller than others.

Entertaining and Well Informed - A lovely 2 hours, entertaining and well informed. Took the group around the old town with a relaxed walk, was helpful, and didn't push the group. The size of the group was just right, and she waited for photos to be taken. Well worth money.

This tour is good value. - Elodie was full of historical facts and anecdotes. She answered well any questions we had. The only thing we’d have liked was some idea of a map as to our route round. Perhaps she could bring a small copy for each of us? Or suggest we bring one to mark out landmarks to keep.
We enjoyed her talk and didn’t feel hurried around.
Thank you, Elodie!

Perfect for discovering Rouen - Great visit with Elodie, dynamic and smiling, we learn a lot about the wonderful city of Rouen. The anecdotes, all very interesting, allow you to better retain information on the different monuments of Rouen. I am from Rouen and yet I have learned a lot of things.
I recommend 100%.
