5.00This was an outstanding tour with an excellent and well-informed guide (thank you Marian). We learned much and experienced much, and came away with a sense of awe and appreciation for what our young soldiers accomplished on June 6 and beyond. The visit to the cemetery was very moving. For those considering a shorter tour, we'd highly recommend this one - there was a lot of information packed into the trip.
Trip to Normandy is Very Worthwhile!

5.00We rented a car in Paris and drove to Bayeaux, where our tour group met. It was about a three hour drive, but the highway is modern, mostly flat and straight. In Bayeaux, our guide, Philippe, drove our small group to Sword Beach (British sector) and to Omaha Beach (American sector). Philippe spoke good English, but his French accent gave his presentation an air of authenticity. Philippe was very knowledgeable about the events leading up to and on June 6, 1944. But he went beyond that, and as we visited the American cemetery atop the cliffs, he shared many stories that reflected the human side of the German, American and French elements that came together during those days. As a retired History teacher, I had high expectations for this tour, and those expectations were well met. Highly recommend!
Excellent your, perfect amount of time.

5.00Our guide, Amandine, was passionate and very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. She supplemented the information by sharing a book of photos and historical pictures that she had taken the time to prepare. Great job, Amandine!

5.00We had a truly fabulous trip to Normandy to see the D-Day landing sites. Our guide, Matthew, was outstanding—his knowledge, storytelling, and ability to bring history to life made the day incredibly meaningful. It was deeply moving to stand on those beaches and reflect on the sacrifices made, especially knowing that my father-in-law was in the second wave on Gold Beach. An unforgettable and humbling experience that I would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in history or a desire to pay their respects.

5.00Victor provided a fabulous tour with unparalleled historical perspectives and stories. It was extra special to be at the American Cemetary at 4:00 pm for the flag ceremony and the playing of taps.

5.00Mat made our British and American F Day Beach tour very interesting and tailored to what we wanted to visit. Being from Scotland he included a visit to the only Scot buried in the Omaha Cemetery. He enhanced the tour with personal stories of the boys and their families.
