4.00The places are beautiful and the views espectacular. The driver only spoke a little English, we were scheduled to leave at 9:00 am but we did not see him until 9:45, he was late but when we saw him he was holding his phone displaying my name and was hard to see. Overall the trip was good. Thanks

5.00Drove myself to Entreat and Honfluer, wonderful places to visit, especially if you are interested in Impressionist painters.
One of our best tours ever!

5.00Our driver, Jahl, made the day so enjoyable and stress free. He arrived at our boat ten minutes ahead of time. When we misjudged where he was parked waiting for us, after visiting beautiful Etretat, he got out of his vehicle and walked to where we were and escorted us back to his van. On the way back to the boat, we mentioned that we needed to go to a pharmacy for some Tylenol. He found one and waited by the curb while we went inside. He was very kind and knowledgeable. One of our best tours thanks to him.

5.00Étretat, has one of the most beautiful beaches in Normandy. Very welcoming and very touristy village. Difficulties in parking.

5.00Our tour was for a driver to take us to Honfleur and Etretat. Both locations were even better than expected and wonderful. The French driver was on time and very nice. He did not speak English but we knew that he wouldn’t. It was a wonderful day!! Highly recommend as driving and parking is not easy in these locations and he dropped us off exactly where we wanted.
Good to have seen

3.00If you're in the area, it's nice to go and see. We found it very touristy and crowded, you can hardly park the car, but can be done to walk it (1.5km)
Overpriced- hire a taxi instead

2.00This was an overpriced driving tour. Driver spoke little English, wouldn't speak to us, wouldn't answer questions about the region or options of what to see. He was late and we waited almost 1/2 hour for him at the start of the tour as well as in Honfleur; he was not parked where he said he'd be waiting. In most ports served by Viator, a driver serves as both driver and guide for a full day tour, is fluent in the language requested and will talk with guests during the tour. (One doesn't need to pay for another person to occupy the best seat in a vehicle.) Maybe France is just different in this regard. On the positive side, the cliffs in Etretat were beautiful. There are coastal paths to hike up; take water along and sunscreen if sunny. Honfleur was quaint. Deauville was only good for a very crowded beach or high-end shopping.
Unique

5.00Beautiful spectacle of nature. A beach divides two rock walls and overlooks the village on this beach. You can take a walk either x reach the western or from the beach or from two paths.
Etretat and Honfleur - Unguided Service

4.00We chose to combine Etretat and Honfleur in one day. Service was good, and the cost relates to the Service exclusively driving, there was no guide or comments along the way (the driver did not speak much English and no Spanish, and we did not speak much French) but was punctual at the cruise terminal sde Le Havre, and from there took us first to Etretat where we were given a couple of hours to walk along the cliffs and beach area, enough time to meet and climb the Church, go to the cliffs, and rest in one of the restaurants on the beach. At the agreed time, we waited again for the driver and took us to the center of Honfleur, where we spent a couple of hours walking, and ate lunch in a very good restaurant. At the time you tell us, we pass by and return to the city of Le Havre, where the cruise departed. They were punctual, the van in good condition. We would have liked to have been able to have more communication with the person who was driving but it was a good day and had the best disposition with us.
