Summary:
BOOK THIS TOUR! We had the most amazing tour with Pierre- I absolutely cannot recommend this more. It truly made our time in Honfleur so much more special. He is so funny and smart. He knows all of the details of the area and grew up here so can recommend all of the best shops, foods, and says hi to locals as you tour. I really think it made our appreciation of this beautiful town x 1,000. He was very kind and engaging with my 9 and 4 year old which was wonderful. And if you think you don’t need a tour, think twice! We did this on the first day we arrived and I am so so glad.
