Great tour, friendly guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Great tour, well informed guide. Of particular interest was the history of the Cathedral On minor comment would be the length. We would have been as happy to pay the same for a much shorter tour.

A wonderful tour with an excellent guide, I would highly recommend. Thank Christèle

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour, I would highly recommend. The tour was informative and interesting, giving a brilliant historical account of Bayeux while walking around the beautiful town & looking at different areas, buildings & squares of historical interest. Christèle was a great and friendly guide who made the tour very engaging with the use of pictures from her folder to further explain details when needed. I hadn't realised I had booked a one to one tour, however it was a great experience. We finished by visiting a really lovely & unusual pink cafe near the cathedral, Les Volets Roses. Thank you Christèle

Intrepid Windy Tour of Bayeux

Published on Nov, 2024

Christele Tait was an awesome tour guide, we thoroughly enjoyed our two hour tour. She was loud enough for us to hear and understand as we were walking in 50 mile an hour wind. She was very conscientious of our comfort level and constantly receive all of the stories together, and did it great summary at the end. Highly recommend

Best Walking Tour Ever!

Published on Oct, 2024

Christele is beyond amazing! As a 60-something female traveling solo, she went above and beyond to introduce me to Bayeux. Her storytelling ability, her recaps weaving the collective history together, and her entertaining sense of humor kept me hanging on her every word. By far, this was the best tour I have ever taken as a solo traveler--highly, highly recommend!

Great tour of Bayeux

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour was very informative. Marie-Noelle was very personable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learned far more about the history of Bayeux than we could have on our own.
