5.00This is a very moving and emotional excursion. The memorial takes your breath away. Dress for the weather. It was quite windy and cold. Our guide Monique and our driver Thierry were amazing.

5.00We arrived on the Viking Jupiter. They offered a Normandy tour but we decided to splurge and get the private tour instead. There we six of us and the money spent was well worth it. Our driver was right on time, very friendly and knowledgeable. We picked up our guide near our first destination of Pointe Du Hoc. He was just great. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I am slowed down by bad knees and our guide went out of his way to make sure I was able to keep up and stay involved along the way. I really appreciated his effort. He also made arrangements for us to stop in at a nice restaurant fora french lunch and guided us through the menu selections , ordering and payment at the end which was not only very helpful but it saved us more time for our tour visits. While at the American Cemetery, we saw the Viking tour unloading their 50-some passengers off of the bus. We were all in agreement that booking the Viator tour was a smart decision. One suggestion, it yeah you almost have to cause you get once you’re out there you’re stuck, but the wind supposed to be yesterday. We were out there quite a hawk and it was cold and windy but then by the time we got to Omaha Beach and then the sun came out. It was just beautiful how we started when the driver showed up. We started start raining on us. It’s gonna be rain all day walking stick. I took the Viking umbrella and use that as that way I was covered either waywould have been to to use the VOX system while walking around. Especially at the American cemetery where they ask you to keep your voices down a bit. Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour worth every penny

5.00Our driver Thierry picked us up on time and took us to meet with our tour Guide. Anne Sophie was our tour guide and after talking to us customized a tour that would take us to see everything we wanted. She was very knowledgeable and we left feeling that our day was well spent learning about Normandy in a way we didn’t before. Thierry was a great driver and even though he didn’t speak English we managed to communicate quite well.
Norman from Normandy a great tour guide
