Honfleur
10:00 Arrival in Honfleur. Honfleur walking tour with its famous old harbour. Honfleur - the main defensive port of Normandy of the XV century, transformed into a charming resort town with a picturesque Bay, much-loved by the artists of the XIX century. Honfleur was first mentioned in 1027, when it belonged to the Norman Duke Richard III. The owners of the city changed several times during The Hundred Years ' War. In the XV century, there were French pirates - corsairs who ravaged the English coast. A little later, in the XVII—XVIII centuries, the city became significantly rich in trade with the American colonies. After the port was closed, the city's economy declined and Honfleur became a suburb of Le Havre. Today it is one of the most known tourist cities in Normandy. The walking city tour takes about 1 hour. 11:00 Departure destination Mont Saint-Michel. It takes 2 hours 15 minutes (190 km).

Great Trip to Saint Michel
Beautiful area. A must see when coming to France!! Our guide Eli was friendly, knowledgeable, and very charismatic. I would request her again for a tour from this company.

Ehhh, maybe give this one a miss…
A mixed bag definitely. The scenery was beautiful and the driver and tour guide (not one mentioned on previous reviews) were early and ready for us. However, the whole day was stilted and somewhat awkward. When we arrived in Honfleur, our tour guide started into quite a long spiel about Paris. After a few minutes, we asked if we could walk and talk since we had quite limited time to see Honfleur. He was a bit rattled by the request, but did allow a bit of movement as he kept talking about Paris. It was somewhat interesting, but it seemed like that could have been covered on the ride there, so that we could talk about Honfleur while we were there. He tried to get us to ‘take a tour’ of a chocolate shop and then walk through a maritime museum with him during this Paris talk (which would have taken most of our Honfleur time it seemed) , though we had expressed our interest in seeing the buildings of and taking pictures of Honfleur. This continued to fluster him a bit, but he finally did seem to understand and agreed to meet us a bit later after our sightseeing of the town. Mont Saint Michel was equally as awkward as we tried to make sure that we were going to be able to see the sights we were there to see. The tour says that there are four hours in Mont Saint Michel, however that includes the line for the shuttle, the shuttle (both ways), and in fact, still wasn’t even four hours from drop off to pick up. We did see the Abbey, though there really wasn’t time to do much else (after eating), and it would have been nice to have known a bit more about the schedule before eating, as we would have chosen differently so we would have spent more time exploring rather than eating. In fact, more information about the schedule and eating would have been nice to have known from the get-go (things like lunch is no earlier than 2pm, and also there is no eating in the van). Anyway, we finished the abbey and thought we’d have some time on our own to explore (based on Viator reviews) when he asked what shops we wanted him to take us in because we just had a few minutes. We asked if we could then meet him at the pick up time (expecting it to be an hour - based on the info from the Viator site), but then realized we only had 20 minutes for the rest of the town, as the remaining 40 minutes were going to be used to get back through the shuttle to the car. The rides were relatively quiet (I mean it is four hours each way, so that is to be expected somewhat), but it just felt awkward. Also, minor things like our guide told us that the high tide at Mont Saint Michel is every night, and during the day it’s always low tide (which isn’t the way tides work) made me start questioning just how much of the things that he had told us were accurate. Our guide was plenty nice, and the driver was quiet but pleasant, and maybe there was just a mismatch in our styles, but for the price of the tour, I felt the whole experience was a letdown.
Response from the operator: Ohhh... Easy story. We did our job according to the description. From the traveller's point of view Tour was OK but Price too high. Private Experiences by Mercedes with Guide and Driver are always more expensive as Big Bus Tours. You had a choice on Viator of different suggestions. "Our guide was plenty nice, and the driver was quiet but pleasant, and maybe there was just a mismatch in our styles" . So the trip was in general OK for the traveler but she "felt the whole experience was a letdown". Let it be. It can happen. C'est la vie. Greetings from "quiet but pleasant" Driver and "plenty nice" Guide.

Rusti was our tour guide...
Rusti was our tour guide and everything was exceptional! He picked us up directly from our hotel and we went off to Honfleur. He gave us a quick walking tour and allowed us to buy souvenirs. From there we went to Mont St. Michel. He took photos of us and gave us a good restaurant recommendation. Then we met him up after. He got us home in record time when we were finished. We loved everything about this private tour. Highly recommend!

Private day tour to Honfleur and Etretat with Clewel Travel Experiences
Our one day tour to Honfleur and Etretat was one of the highlights of our 11 day stay in France. And the credit for this goes to Olga, our private guide. She was FANTASTIC. Again, this was one of our most enjoyable experiences of the entire trip. I would choose this company over and over again and I have been a travel consultant for over 20 years. Excellent day. Thank you, Olga! And thank you too, Cyrus. I so glad I found your company!

Great Trip, Very Long Day
We had a wonderful experience with our driver/ guide Rusti. Despite the holiday traffic and very long day trip, he was very friendly and helpful. Rusti was right on time to pick us up in the morning. He drove us all through Honfleur before allowing us time to explore on our own. While driving he shared a lot of history about the port town as well as other facts about France cities and tourism. When we arrived at Mont Saint Michel he got us a map and gave us very good directions and recommendations. We rode the bus to the island, found a place for lunch, and explored until time to meet. Rusti guided us up the (hundreds of) steps with abbey tickets purchased in advance. He took many great photos of us and when the abbey tour was canceled he took us through the rooms and gave us a personal tour. The car was comfortable, bottled water provided, and rest stops along the way. Rusti was great and Clewel Travel is FANTASTIC! We loved all 3 tours we had.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes cost?
+
Prices start at $255 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Paris is not rushed.
Is Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes?
+
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 Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes?
+
Around 2 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 Paris 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 Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur Trip from Paris by Mercedes 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 Paris 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 Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). 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 Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. 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 Paris?
+
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.
