Robin was a fantastic tour guide! His grandparents lived through the war and this insight provided such a unique experience. He was very kind and knowledgable. He created an all around wonderful day and we would highly recommend Bayeux Shuttle to everyone looking for a D-Day tour! This was the highlight of our trip to France!

An amazing day! Perfect weather but the best part was our guide, Chris! He was so knowledgeable, passionate, considerate and attentive. The best guide we've ever had!

Our guide Juliet was excellent- she knew everything and answered all our questions. The surrounding countryside looks it has been untouched since 1944- many of the original farmsteads still there and no commercialization of battle sites!!

Rethro was incredibly knowledgable, funny, insightful, and we were able to create a customized experience on the day at both Omaha and Utah beaches. Worth every penny in terms of what we learned and how we were able to craft a day out that was different than anything we had ever done before in Normandy. I would highly recommend Rethro and Bayeux Shuttle if you are first time visitors or have been on the D-Day beaches before.

We had an amazing day touring the D-day sites with our tour guide, Pierre. Pierre was extremely knowledgeable and answered our barrage of questions throughout the day with ease. We were able to tailor the day to what we were most interested in seeing, and were able to see multiple key sites throughout the tour including Marie St. Eglise, the airborne museum, Utah & Omaha beaches, and the American cemetery. He even went out of his way to make sure one in our party was able to eat gluten free at the lunch spot. If we are ever back in Bayeux, we will be booking another tour with Pierre!

We had a private tour with Romarine. She was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and was accomodating to what we wanted to see and do. Her english was impeccable. Bayeux Shuttle was very accomodating in having the guide meet us at our hotel.
