5.00Excellent day tour!! Limited to 15 people in a very comfortable van. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and organized. His former military experience very much helped enhanced the day. He did a wonderful job at explaining what occurs on D-day. The experience exceeded our expectations. Don’t hesitate to book. Well worth the money.
Wonderful

5.00Wonderful tour to get an overview of Normandy. The tour felt rushed in some places but that was because the tour packs four stops with limited time at each. Definitely recommend if your time in France is limited.

4.00It says "breakfast included". But we just stopped at a gas station and we were given time to get something from the one small coffee shop that was open inside. But, we were also given limited time at some of the other memorials. 20 minutes is not enough time to enter the memorials and walk around. But, given that we had a long ride to and from Paris, I can understand why the need to rush on some locations. We did have an hour to visit the American memorial which was very nice. But, you do have to keep track of the time and not be late going back to the bus. Otherwise they will go out and look for you. The guide was very knowledgeable.
WWII Experience in Normandy. Exceptional!

2.00We were expecting a small group, max size 15 people. We ended up on a large tour bus with over 40 people on board. There was limited interaction with the guide, no opportunity to ask questions, and were generally herded about like any other large tour. The description says breakfast was included (it’s not). It wasn’t worth the $300+ we paid for a more intimate, interactive experience. It’s really just another tour…you’ll see the sites ( though there was no visit to any of the museums), but it’s not a $300+ per person tour. I’ve asked for a partial refund. Don’t select this tour—equivalent tours are available for less than half the cost.
Good look at WWII through the stories

Unforgettable
