If you can't get to Bayeux before the museum closes, do get Igor to take you around Normandy - You should be prepared to be flexible and not on a tight time schedule. The ride from Rouen to Bayeux should take 1 3/4 hours. It took 3 due to 2 accidents on the road. The Bayeux Tapestry was fantastic. The recorded explanation was very good. Run, don't walk to see it before the museum closes for restoration for 2 years at the end of August. Be prepared for long lines to get in. But our guide/ host Igor was a magician He got us in through the "group" entrance. He clearly knew the person working the desk. Due to physical limitations, we chose not to go to the Castle, too many stairs. We went on to Caen and saw the tombs of Matilde and William the Conqueror. As a person with a PhD, who knows a lot of history, Igor was very knowledgeable and informative. He knew the obvious and the obscure. You would be lucky to have him show you around all of Normandy

Exceptional Tour - Igor was an amazing guide. The city of Rouen is absolutely stunning. The medieval architecture, cathedral, and clock tower - all beautiful, but Igor's expertise in the region's history brought it all to life, and tied all the events together for us to weave a rich tale of the area. Igor worked with me from day one to accommodate exactly what we wanted and needed. He was absolutely fantastic: Personable, knowledgeable, and well prepared with materials to show the area map and the bloodline of the various rulers and warriors. Great tour!

Great Tour, fantasic guide - Igor was just the best guide I ever had in my life. I saw the Bayeux Tapestry, Falaise Castle I had never heard of before where I saw the dukes of Normandy. He explained me everything about their life and connections with the History of France and Europe. The weather was terrible but he provided us with additional clothes, gloves and hats ( good idea ). I higly recommend this tour for the history buffs and fans of Vikings.
