Taking guided walks in Honfleur is an excellent way to appreciate this fascinating Norman port town. While exploring independently is enjoyable, knowledgeable local guides really bring the historic harbor and medieval streets to life.
From my experience, the private walking tour stands out as the best introduction – you’ll get a thorough look at the wooden church of St. Catherine, the old harbor, and hidden backstreets most visitors miss. For something memorable, I love the vintage sidecar excursion through the countryside, complete with local cider tastings (what a treat!). The medieval history walk does a superb job explaining Honfleur’s maritime importance, while the day trip combining Honfleur with Mont Saint-Michel provides incredible value.
