Wonderful Normandy D Day Experience
Michael_S, Oct 2023
The visit to Pont du Hoc was incredible. I had always wanted to see the cliffs ascended by the Army Rangers on D Day. Seeing the American Cemetery was extremely moving especially seeing the Medal of Honor graves. Our driver Thierry was waiting for us in Le Havre when we got off the ship. Olivier provided a lot of new information about D Day that I was not aware of from previous reading especially details regarding Pont du Hoc. On the way back to the ship Thierry took us on a fabulous drive around Le Havre.
Response from Host, Oct 2023

Olivier and Thierry were both glad to have shared this memorable day with you and your family. Wishing a wonderful cruise ahead and we hope to see you here in France soon some time in the future. Bon Voyage !

Well Worth Visiting
DEBORA_A, Sep 2023
My Grandfather and all 3 of his brothers were WW2 veterans. I am a history buff so this was a bucket list item. It was very moving and quite overwhelming to visit the American Cemetery and Omaha Beach museum. Our driver Paquel, also suggested Point du Hoc where were able to see the German bunkers and the cliffs the Army Rangers scaled to take out the those German forces protecting the troops landing on Omaha and Utah beach. Pasquel was great. He wasn't a tour guide but suggested places to visit that brought the whole experience together. We can't say enough good things about him. Highly recommend.

A True Leaning Experience
Cheryl_W, Sep 2023
Having been to Normandy before, our choice to use a private Vjator guide & driver immediately paid dividends. Adrien's incredible knowledge & preparedness made the entire day an absolute learning experience delight. His advice extended to his choice of where we had lunch on the Omaha Beach. A wonderful and complete experience in every way!

Very expensive but very good
Janine_J, Aug 2023
Our driver was very good. I ordered the driver only experience without a guide but our driver spoke excellent English and gave us information. The sites were self-explanatory so a guide wasn’t necessary. It was a very expensive trip though - a per person charge for 6 people added up to close to $1000.
reliable tour operator in these area. good job.
Lilian_W, Aug 2023

If you have the opportunity to request Oliver as your tour guide you should . He was very thoughtful and his knowledge was in-depth and brought the tour to life. His insight was invaluable and thoroughly brought the sites to life!

French Driver
Lynn_H, Oct 2022
I asked for an English speaking driver and he only spoke French. This led to a very boring 4 hr trip (2 there and 2 back). No information about the countryside we were traveling through.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Good day Lynn, thanks for your comment and sorry if we could not reach your expectation while this tour, as I can see you have booked a NON GUIDED TOUR, we clearly mentionned into description that driver are speaking normal English, please feel free to book a guided tour for next occasion, best regards
Driver vs. TourGuide Services
Jane_S, Sep 2022
We booked very very short notice. A driver was available but not a guide. We made the decision to take it. My fault not Viator’s. There was no history, background or context. It was very expensive and we walked away disappointed we SAW the places. We didn’t learn hardly a thing.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hello Jane, Good day and thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret to hear that we were not able to meet some of your expectations. We have transparently indicated in our tour description that the driver will take you to the places to explore on your own and the driver will not be able to give commentaries on the sites. With a tour guide, we can gurantee that you will learn a lot as our tour guides are certified guides with a degree in history. Nontheless, we hope that our driver was able to driver you to comfortably to the dday sites. Our apologies for the inconvenience and we wish you a wonderful journey ahead !
Exciting Normandy
Ann_B, Jun 2022
Ahmed was a wonderful driver. His English was really good, and he was able to guide our journey to Normandy in a relaxed way while still giving us plenty of time at each site and museum. He also introduced us to a wonderfully picturesque old town, Bayoux where we wandered through some lovely streets and saw a beautiful Cathedral.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Hello Anne, Bonjour ! Thank you so much for writing us a review and we are glad to hear that you enjoy your day with us. Ahmed would like to send his regards and would like to thank you as well for your kindness. Wishing a wonderful journey ahead and we remain at your disposal in case you will need our services again in the future. Best Regards, Abby and the team
