What are our clients saying about our tours?
Very enriching experience
We decided to make the tour with the agency of “My Normandy Tour” for having the option of French guide speaking english.
We had already visited the region before, but we thought that a guide in English would complete what was missing.
Pierre planned and executed our tour corresponding to all our expectations and beyond, because the contact with someone local gives us a very different view of culture, language, politics, etc.
very enriching experience.
