Lovely day tour seeing Deauville and Honfleur! Perfect excursion from Le Havre!
We had a lovely day seeing Deauville and Honfleur. 2 lovely small cities small enough to see in one day, with ample time for sightseeing, lunch and shopping! Charming places to see and so unique! Our tour guide, Jasmina, was very professional, friendly, gave us lots of helpful information and gave great advice for places to see, eat, etc. This tour and Jasmina are highly recommend - 5 stars!

We learned all about Deauville and Honfleur, France.
We had a wonderful time on the tour with our guide. The weather couldn’t have been better and I God gave us lots of great insights into the area and the culture.

One of Le Havre 's best tours.
One of the best shore excursions we took! Lawrence was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much history and saw so many beautiful things.... Lawrence's love of these two towns and France was infectious! There were plenty of opportunities to walk around and see wonderful things as well as try a lot of different foods. This was a perfect excursion for us because we did not want to travel 2 or 3 hours in a bus each way to get somewhere.

Great day spent at Deauville and Honfleur!
It was a great tour. Lawrence was very informative. He knew all the history of Deauville and Honfleur. He showed us other things on the way to and from the port. I recommend this tour for anyone in the port of LaHavre as a great way to see these two cute towns.

Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Le Havre.
How much does Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Le Havre usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Le Havre is not rushed.
Is Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Le Havre, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Le Havre can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Le Havre and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Honfleur & Deauville: Shore Excursion from Le Havre Port start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Le Havre within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Le Havre?
+
On Outty we rank every Le Havre experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include D-Day Beaches Shore Excursion from Le Havre with Packed Lunch, Normandy UNESCO D-Day Beaches Tour & Packed Lunch from Le Havre, Deluxe Paris Shore Trip from Le Havre with Cruise & Packed Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Le Havre?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Le Havre?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
