Great tour of Normandy!

Michelle_D, May 2024

Jeremy was a great tour guide, he was very knowledgeable. We were able to ask questions about Normandy and D-Day and really liked that we were with a small group. Highly recommend the semi-private tour!

Powerful and moving

Ashley_B, May 2024

We were so glad we booked this tour. Our guide provided many details that we would not have known had we been on our own.

Great, Entertaining Tour

Jamie_T, Apr 2024

Fantastic tour. Guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Entire family enjoyed the tour. Would reccomend to anyone interested in World War 2 history.

Mark_A, Dec 2023

Emmanuel our guid was absolutely fabulous, very knowledgeable and interacted with our kids so nicely. My boys asked lots of questions and he was more then happy to answer them.

I could not have had a better day!

Kyle_W, Dec 2023

Rose was very knowledgeable about all parts of the tour, not only the beaches but the surrounding villages, roads and countryside. She was very pleasant and charming!

Celine rocks.

Adam_K, Sep 2023

Excellent experience. Our tour guide Celine was amazingly knowledgeable and captivating. The tour sites were well chosen. We felt it to be a good value and use of our time. Would recommend without reservation to anyone.

Unforgettable

Mary_C, Sep 2023

Apparently we were fortunate enough to hear the Star-Spangled Banner and taps played even though it was 11:30 in the morning. We were told that the usual time was when the flag was being lowered at 5 PM our guide was wonderful.

If you don't have a lot of time in the area, this tour hits the highlights....

Anastasia_K, Sep 2023

My two boys and I enjoyed this tour very much. The van was comfortable and an easy way to get around between the sites. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting information and stories. We could have easily spent an entire day touring with her. She allowed plenty of time to walk around and reflect at the individual sites. It is hard to see everything in such short time frame, and this hits the highlights. I'm glad we did a tour because I don't think we (and especially my boys) would have gotten as much out of our visit if we had just gone on our own. And, this is a nice small tour where you're not struggling to keep up and hear what the guide is sharing.

john_r, Aug 2023

This tour was amazing - not only did we see the key beaches on D-Day and the American Cemetery, we learned a lot -- mostly because we had a truly amazing tour guide, Celine. She knew so much about the invasion, and all around it. She is warm, friendly and really easy to converse with, I would give an 11 stars if I could !

Great tour - SO glad we booked it!

Stacey_S, Jul 2023

Great tour. We learned a lot. Our guide was amazing. Thank you Manon! We appreciate your knowledge of the area and history. And local Bayeux tips!

D-Day half day tour

John_D, Jul 2023

Laurient had great knowledge of the history of D-Day. Very nice and accommodating. On time at 8:30 and she allowed our driver to pick us up at the cemetery

Packed a lot in a half day tour.

James_M, Jul 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of our group. Our time went so fast we wish we would have booked the full day tour.

A Wonderful Experience!

David_H, Jun 2023

Marine was an absolutely amazing guide. We came to visit family who landed on D Day and was buried at the American Cemetery. Not only did she show us where he landed and where he likely met his end but ensured we were able to properly memorialize him on our visit to the cemetery. Her knowledge was vast and we really enjoyed our time with her. If you book with this company request her by name! A+

1/2 day tour with Emmanuel

Lynn_T, Jun 2023

Emmanuel was an excellent guide. He gave us a good overview of the facts in a very engaging manner. Highly recommend doing a tour - would not have learned as much or felt as connected to the history if we had done it solo.

Every American should visit the area

Patricia_W, Jun 2023

Powerful, memorable area - we had been here many years ago and were moved as much this visit. Very knowledgeable guide.

Normandy.

Daniel_F, Jun 2023

The entire tour was very impressive. The tour guide was very informative and to be in that area was Something I have wanted to do for 25 years and it was worth it.

Highlight of our 10-day trip

Victoria_B, Jun 2023

Marion was outstanding. It was evident that she enjoys her job and was enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge about D-Day. We were fortunate to have planned our trip around the D-Day celebration. The military planes flying during our tour was an added bonus. Highly recommend this tour.

Insight into my dad's life when he was once a younger man.

MarkandNancy_S, Jun 2023

The info JB provided regarding the Allies battle on D-Day. My father did not take part in those days of the war, but he did arrive thereafter going through the fighting in the Ardenne region, the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of the Buchenwald death camp in/near Jena, Germany. He spoke little of these experiences, but I have (small) photos received after his death in 1986 of him and his fellow soldiers with writing on the backside stating the photos location in Jena. As our tour guide JB did a wonderful job this past Monday (June 5th) relating what the experiences were for those that did fight and we returned on 6-6-23 where we experienced the D-Day ceremony when a speaker did talk of the Battle of the Bulge. It was very moving. Thank you for the experience.

Worth every penny!

Michael_M, Jun 2023

What an impactful tour! Jean Baptiste (JB) was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide that delivered a moving day full of history. Pickup/drop off was a breeze and the tour went as described from the website. Very meaningful day thanks to JB.
