Very interesting tours! The drives through the farmlands of France was so beautiful despite the rains. Loved learning about the breeds of cows and methods used in producing the 4 true cheeses of Normandie. The cheeses tasted delicious. Also enjoyed visiting the two apple cider producing farms, one small and one large farm. It was fun comparing the various Apple-based drinks, from apple juice to cider to Calvados. Our tour guide Nina was very pleasant, spoke English well, and was knowledgeable about the various aspects of cheese and cider production. We gave the tour 4 stars for two reasons. We had to request information on parking, which turned out to not be helpful since there was so much construction at the castle in Caen that we could not access the recommended parking for our size of personal vehicle . Also the tour van did not have a microphone so passengers in the back seats had difficulty hearing what the tour guide was saying. Overall, I would recommend this tour with our guide Nina!
We loved every minute of this tour learning about the four cheeses made here in Normandy and all about how Cider is made, and of course taste testing it as well! Such a pleasant surprise and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and so polite.
Nina was amazing, we loved every minute. She is knowledgeable and drove us thru beautiful areas of the country. Thank you Nina!!
A fantastic and informative tour - we learned about the cheese and cider making processes....and had the opportunity to have some taste tests! The lovely drive through the French countryside was also very enjoyable. Definitely worth the investment.
Etienne thanks again for the wonderful tour.
Guide OK. Used old, banged up, small car for three people. Not worth 80 per person. Confusing note on pick-up time. One area said 1 PM another asaid 1:30 PM. Waited extra half hour. Guise agreed it was misleading.
