As They say, you get what you pay for! The CEO was great ! We could not have asked for more. The accommodations in Bayeux were the poorest and most uncomfortable. The TV mounted on the wall in front of the twin beds made it impossible to pass during a night time visit to the toilet without banging your head. The tour bus to needs new shocks !! Charge a little more, fix the above, add some professional guide time at sites and some photo opportunity stops.Show more
