January 2024 "We spent a magnificent afternoon in the company of Pascal who helped us discover the history, the streets and the small hidden courtyards of Caen. Pascal is a fascinating greeter"
November 2024, "The walk with Françoise was wonderful. She showed me the city center through the eyes of a young man, Robert, an ambulance driver during World War II. The story Françoise told was very interesting. She exudes passion with every word." – Marian, 2024.
May 2024, "It was the first time I went through a Greeter and it was great! The walk through Caen was really perfect, we learned a lot about the big and also the small history of Caen, punctuated with nice anecdotes and good recommendations. It was also very pleasant to be able to take our time and exchange so easily with Bastien about history but also about daily life in Caen. I recommend everyone to visit Caen with Bastien, it's worth the detour! 🙂"
