Fantastic morning tour arranged by Viator with Normandy Sightseeing Tours. Our tour leader Clementine was very knowledgeable and her English was very good. We had a small group of 6 and she gave us as much time as possible at the various sites. I have some mobility issues and she took these into consideration. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Our ticket said there would be two meeting points, but the Guide only picked up from one that day. We called the office but it only went to voicemail. We ran into another guide from the same company who was leading a different tour but tried to help, but even she couldn't get in touch with anyone. Very disappointing from such a highly rated company.

Excellent experience. Our tour guide Celine was amazingly knowledgeable and captivating. The tour sites were well chosen. We felt it to be a good value and use of our time. Would recommend without reservation to anyone.
