Nicholas was an amazing guide!! I had always wanted to go to Normandy and he made this a truly cherished experience for me and my girlfriend. I STRONGLY recommend this tour and especially Nicolas.

This was an amazing tour! Nicolas is a wonderful guide - he is knowledgeable on WWII history, Normandy history, culture, animals/birds, food & drink, and even agriculture crops & fishing. Highly recommend! We went in November and the weather was not the best, but still worth every dollar/euro! Nicolas found a great restaurant for lunch, we were lucky it was scallop season, so we had some great seafood and pommeau and calvados!

We had an absolutely awesome tour guide from the moment he picked us up. Very professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Great driver. He was the best tour guide on our whole cruise. Kiddos to him. We hope you give him special recognition. Well deserved. Rusts

Our guide Nicolas WAS FANTASTIC. Book him fast. He is great. He knew facts about Normandy and the lunch he took us to was A+. Well done Nicolas.

We were on a Viking River Cruise and part of package was a tour to Normandy but after looking at it, the tour spent most of the day at Caen Museum-Heard it was a great museum but we wanted to spend our time at all the actual sites. Got hold of Viator and arranged a private tour for my wife and myself picking us up right at our dock in Rouen. Our tour guide Nicolas was excellent! He took us to all the spots we wanted to see in the day we had which included St Mare Eglaise, Point Du Hoc, Utah Beach, American Cemetery, Omaha Beach and Gold Beach. Nicolas was a great guide and very knowledgeable about all the history of Normandy. I highly recommend him. To do it justice you actually need 3 or more days to take in all the sites but what we accomplished on one long day was very fulfilling.

Wonderful day. Our private tour guide was Nicholas. He was a good driver and excellent historian. He took us thru the Normandy countryside which was gorgeous. He escorted us to the beaches and American cemetery and many memorials. We enjoyed lunch sitting outside in Bayeux along a river and a half block from a majestic cathedral. Great day.

Nikolas was an excellent guide/driver and we enjoyed him very much. We liked seeing Omaha Beach and Arromanche. We wished we had time to see the movie but we ran out of time… our fault not his. He chose the BEST restaurant, Marina in port du Bessins. Our mussels were fresh and delicious! We were also able to start out and see the Bayeux Tapestry and David Hockney exhibition.

Abbiamo visitato le spiagge dello sbarco Omaha Beach, Arromanche soffermandoci su i resti del porto artificiale, delle grandi strutture rimaste, ma splendide son queste spiagge dell'Atlantico .I miei nipoti sono rimasti meravigliati della marea. Poi ci siamo recati al cimitero americano che è impressionante per il numero di tombe e le date di questi ragazzi morti. Il tempo è tipicamente atlantico con il susseguirsi di sole, pioggerelline e vento, ma anche questo fa parte della conoscenza che è il viaggio.

Journée exceptionnelle pleine d’emotions Surtout lors de la projection du film 360 à Arromanches et la visite du cimetière Américain. Ce sont toujours des moments très forts et intenses.
