While the tour was good, we would have liked to visit some of the Museums at the d-day sights and viewed some of the films of the historic events. We would have been interested in visiting the German cemetery as well. We also would have liked a tour with just our group of 4.

Our guide, Jack, was great. It was a long day, but I feel we saw what we hoped to see. It was a wonderful day in spite of the rain.

Our tour guide Helene picked us up directly from our Airbnb in Bayeux which was perfect. There was only one other couple on the tour, so it felt like a private tour just for the four of us which made it nice. Helene was knowledgable and thorough. She was very personable and gave us insight into many sites on the tour; the German Military Cemetery, Utah Beach, Sainte Mere Elise, the Airborne Museum, Pointe de Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American Military Cemetery. It really was special to be there so close to the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion as they are preparing for a big event with so many dignitaries coming to mark the occasion. We were very pleased with this tour and highly recommend.

An excellent trip with a knowledgeable guide/driver, Jeremy. This was my first trip to Normandy to see things I have been reading about for fifty years. That alone would have been thrilling enough, but this tour added to my enjoyment. If you have any interest in WWII or D-Day, take this trip. I was probably smiling the whole time. And Jeremy (and my fellow travelers) was kind enough to allow me to talk about what I knew about the sites.

Great small tour allowed for pick up & drop off from Paris train. Guide was a local, knew the small roads to get where one of our people's dad had come ashore on D day. Very special, saw many things.

A top highlight from our recent trip to Normandy and Paris. The small group tour was a great way to see the area. Jack was our tour guide and he did a great job giving us his insight and knowledge. It was a full day tour but had a great pace and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.

Matthieu was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed the day with him and learned a lot about Normandy and D Day. Taps at the American Cemetery was very moving and a nice end to the day. Thanks to Matthieu for a great day!

Full day what an experience, great tour guide “John” very very knowledgeable, comfy van, small group is best, the history, stories just humbling.

Kent_S

A nice, day-long overview of D-Day our guide, Sophia, was excellent. There was enough time at each spot, but it does make you want to return and explore deeper.

DOUGLAS_S

A good day tour of the major sites associated with D-Day. Visiting the sites and getting a bird's eye view of what the allies faced was very helpful. Learned a great deal more about each specific site and the successes, failures, accidental good and bad luck. Would recommend this company to anyone. I emailed them through Viator a few times with questions and received prompt answers and even a phone call from them. The only change would be more time on Omaha Beach to actually walk the beach and less time at the cemetery. Utah beach was very interesting as well with a decent lunch (not included) at the restaurant there. The visit to Point du loc and the visit to St Mer Eglise was quite moving as was the paratrooper museum there.
