NORMANDY   SPEARHEAD   TOURS

Tours

All tours are private. A standard tour formula usually covers distances ranging from 20 to approximately 100 miles (e.g. Mont Saint Michel tour). Of course, all personalised tours or those starting in various ports (e.g. Le Havre, Honfleur, Cherbourg, St. Malo) may involve longer distances.

Tour fares

You are booking a vehicle (9-seater Opel Vivaro van) for up to 9 hours/day and the rate depends on duration but also on the number of participants. If you want to calculate the amount due individually you just have to divide the overall cost by the actual number of participants. 

Payments

A PayPal deposit is required to book a tour whereas the balance is due upon tour completion (EUR cash only). Please note that PayPal charges a 6% commission at every transaction and this will be added to the deposit. 

Cancellation
