What To Expect
Paris
Your private guide and chauffeur will pick you up from your hotel, residence, or cruise ship, and take you to the train station. As you explore the Normandy countryside and enjoy the comfort of your private vehicle you will learn about the region's unique heritage, cuisine, traditions and slowly enter the world of D-Day.
Utah Beach
Our first discovery will take us back in time to one of WW2's most important D-Day sites: Utah Beach. As you explore the sandy shores, you will learn how German and American soldiers came face to face and see the battle scars that still pepper the landscape. After a guided tour of the area, you will visit the excellent Utah Beach Landing Museum, constructed around the remains of a German bunker. Here you will discover original warcraft, the Water Buffalo and Duck amphibious vehicles, and one of the last remaining B-26 bombers.

Venez Discover France is a Scam!

1.00The tour is a total SCAM. Do not book this tour or with this outfit!!! We paid out the nose for a private tour with transportation from Paris and the guide was a no show. Fighting to get our money back now instead of having the memorable day we had all envisioned.
No-Show. Do not book this tour

1.00We traveled all the way to Paris with one main goal: to honor my grandfather, who landed in Normandy during the war, by visiting the historic site through a guided tour. We were outside our hotel promptly at 8:00 AM, ready and waiting. But the tour company never showed up. After waiting 30 minutes, we called Viator. They attempted to reach the tour operator, only to find that the phone number on file didn’t even work. This was not just a scheduling error—it was a deeply disappointing and emotional letdown. Given the personal importance of this tour to our family and the difficulty of finding last-minute availability during peak season, our entire day—and the purpose of our trip—was completely derailed. Even worse, Viator had no working contact information for the operator and no managers available when we called for help. There was no accountability, no support, and no alternative offered. We were told they couldn’t rebook us because everything else was sold out. This experience was not only frustrating but felt entirely unprofessional. I don’t know if I can trust Viator again after this.

4.00The tour was incredible!! Utah, Omaha, Pointe Du Hoc, Saint Mar Iglese, Normandy cemetery. Very humbling. Once again Zac the tour guide was great!!! Incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. My only wish would’ve been to be able to see the Utah and Omaha museums but it is a packed day.The tour company honored my request and had Diet Coke for me throughout!!. They were great to work with.
Beyond our wildest expectations!

5.00The trip up to Normandy from Paris was a highlight of our entire two week trip to France. Our driver was a great guy and our tour guide was outstanding. My husband and I each had a father who fought in WWII so we felt it important to visit the D-Day beaches and museum. We each thought we knew a fair amount about that time in history but our knowledge was minute compared to that of our guide Zac. He was absolutely amazing with his depth of knowledge, shared in a very comfortable companionable manner. His English was excellent and he was a delightful young man. I could not recommend this more.
Informative Trip with a Little Taste of Everything!

5.00Michael took us on a very informative tour where we got to see Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, the St. Mere Eglise area and museum, and the American Cemetery. It was a lot to view in a short period of time, but we were happy to get it all in! Michael was a great resource for history and for anything French for the rest of our visit in Paris. He and Pierre, our driver, we fantastic company and very accommodating. The van was kept clean and cool and water was always flowing for us.
