Alex was a WONDERFUL guide. He brought history to life with facts and stories and personal insights. Normandy is stunning, and seeing the locations of WWII was humbling. I was sad when the afternoon ended!

Awesome Tour and Company

Omaha Beach/D-Day. Our guide Arthur was an encyclopedia of knowledge, professional, personable, and a delight! He arrived on time and in a very comfortable air conditioned van. Even tho the tour was 4+ hours, it really wasn’t enough time for us. Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, American Cemetery very moving, especially Taps and the Lowering of the flag was very emotional ❤️

Arthur the great!
Jeremy_F, Jul 2023
We so enjoyed our guided tour of DDay beaches with Arthur. He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and did a good job of explaining the battles. Despite some rain, he was willing to stand on the beach and continue with no loss of enthusiasm.. (He did offer us rain-free alternatives)
He was in fact a licensed French tour guide, as well. My sister, who teaches history and knows a good bit about DDay, learned new things on this tour and had no complaints.
Thanks for a wonderful tour!

Shirley_H, Jul 2023
Vincent was a great guide! We really appreciated the relaxed nature of the tour, the history that he shared, and also the special stories that he gained through his experiences and interactions that brought that history to life. A great way to spend a few hours understanding what transpired on D-Day.

Arnold was amazing! He is part of a multi-generational family from Normandy and was extremely knowledgeable. This was a great balance of guided tour with solo time to explore. He went above and beyond. If we are ever back in France, we will definitely have him as our tour guide for a whole day in Normandy, rather than the half day we did this trip.

Excellent D-Day Sites Tour
David_S, Aug 2022
This is a really good tour if you do not have a full day to dedicate to the D-Day sites. It focuses on the most important locations (Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, American Cemetery) and provides a well rounded WWII experience. Our guide, Marie, was fabulous - very knowledgeable about the relevant history and extremely passionate in her presentations. We were a group of 6 and this tour was a highlight of a week long trip to France.

Muy lindo pero no existe en Español.
Marcos_M, Aug 2022
La excursión es muy buena. Y el guía Matt fue excelente. Pero la página de Viator dice que ofrece el tour en español y es MENTIRA. Yo fui con mis padres y tuve que estar traduciendo todo el tiempo para que ellos pudieran entender. Por suerte éramos sólo nosotros en el tour y no hubo más problemas.
