5.00We (2 American couples) had a half day tour by van with Raphaëlle as our guide and it was excellent. She took us to places we would not have discovered on our own. We had 2 WWII buffs with us and Raphaëlle shared information that they did not know. Her overall set-up of the war and explanations were full of wonderful details and she had informed answers for our many questions. She left us with a deep sense of the importance and terrible costs of freeing Normandy in WW2.
Tommy is the best guide for Normandy and all around.

5.00What a special day and Thomas made it that much more special. Seeing the beautiful villages of Normandy and all the history of D Day and WWII was very moving. Tommy knows the area very well, he is from there and is very involved in the local community with all the history and events. He is a very nice person and easy to talk with. Great day.

5.00We cannot say enough positive things about our private Normandy tour with Raphaëlle of Normandy Discovery Tours. From the very outset, her warmth and professionalism set the tone for a truly exceptional day. She carefully crafted an immersive and personal experience—from Sainte-Mère-Église to Utah and Omaha Beaches—that exceeded all expectations. Why this tour stands out: • Expert, heartfelt storytelling. Raphaëlle skillfully blended historical insight with vivid, human narratives. Her passion for the subject came through in every stop, making the events of June 6, 1944 feel immediate and deeply moving. • Tailored pacing and attention. As a private tour, we appreciated that she adjusted the pace for our group, allowing ample time at key sites without ever feeling rushed. • Immersive Jeep experience. Riding in an authentic WWII-era Jeep added incredible atmosphere—every engine turn felt like stepping back into 1944. • Beautiful local touches. During our day, Raphaëlle paused in Sainte-Mère-Église for a cozy lunch and even treated us to an ice cream stop in Isigny—small moments that made the day feel personal and delightful. • Seamless hotel pickup and drop-off. Raphaëlle picked us up directly at our hotel in Bayeux and returned us there at the end of the day. It made the entire experience convenient and stress-free, allowing us to focus completely on the journey. If you’re seeking a deeply moving, expertly narrated journey through the history and landscape of D‑Day, this private tour with Raphaëlle is an absolute must. It’s clear she cares profoundly about preserving memory and sharing it meaningfully. We returned home not only well-informed but moved in ways we didn’t anticipate.

5.00This was an incredible experience and learning opportunity for my son, nephew and myself. Raphaëlle and Thomas were our knowledgeable and passionate guides. We opted for the day long tour including a portion being a jeep tour. We were there the week of the D-Day anniversary which only added to the amazing fact that so many lives were lost and changed in that region. The professional and thoughtful guides were phenomenal. Thank you Raphaëlle and Thomas!!! Take this tour, you will be glad you did.

5.00We did a personal tour for our family with Noa on June 5, 2025. We were driven in a very nice large van and visited sites from D Day beaches and American cemetery. Our guide explained everything to us clearly and was very nice. We now have a greater appreciation for the sacrifice of the men that gave their life for our freedom.
Entire trip abroad was scheduled around the Normandy trip.

5.00What a wonderful experience we had with Marie! Not only she was very knowledgeable about everything WWII and the Normandy operations presenting the astonishing amount of information in the interactive and responsive way. She also introduced us to everything Normandy stands for, the culture, the food, the locals. The afternoon spent with her was one of the highlights of our trip and her dinner recommendations were top notch. Thank you!

5.00We had a magnificent day. Rafaela was a wonderful guide and so very knowledgeable. We learned a lot of things about Normandy that we didn’t know. It was a very touching and humbling day. We had a wonderful lunch together and saw things we did not expect. There is so much to see, so glad we had a private tour.
