A moving experience visiting Normandy sites

5.00Touring the Normandy D-Day sites has been on my radar for a long time. Everything about the tour was exceptional, starting with our guide, Marie, who kept a running historical dialogue while she drove us to each site. She related twists of history and conditions faced by Allies and strong leadership and will led to positive outcomes. Seeing the bluffs at Omaha Beach soldiers had to scale, the many obstacles facing the troops, the town where paratroopers landed, and the commemorative monuments was so moving and meaningful. We entered the U.S. cemetery as a fallen soldier's family was visiting and the national anthem played. That and the field of graves was particularly moving. Throughout the area, churches portrayed plaques and stained glass tributes to the Allies. There was such pride in the U.S. being part of an alliance fighting for liberty and democracy against Fascism.
Superb

1.00Our tour guide Irene is excellent and very knowledgeable of everything. The tour is great. However, two of us came down with stomach flu the night before and couldn’t make the trip in the last minute. The rest of us could still make the tour. We kindly asked for refunds of the two unused tickets, even with partial refunds is greatly appreciated by us for their understanding of our unfortunate sickness situation, but they firmly refused.
Great day.

5.00In May 2026 we had an excellent tour of the Utah and Omaha beaches with Irene. She was educational and entertaining at the same time. She answered many quiestions from the group with authority. The tour started and ended on time and the van was comfortable. We highly recommend Bayux Shuttle. Askfor Irene!

5.00Amazing trip-squeezed in so many sites, beautiful walks to see exhibits. Cold and windy weather at both low and high tide allowed us to imagine what took place in history. Jordan was so knowledgeable and kind and humorous. Very patient and added a few extra sites to experience along the way.
Great Experience
