What are people saying about Normandy

Excellent tour for small...
Excellent tour for small groups. I brought my 15 and 17 year olds along for the tour and was very thankful that Paul was engaging and humorous. Paul is very knowledgeable and does an amazing job explaining the stories behind the sites. The tour is thoughtfully organized and you are given ample time at the American Cemetery to wander and in St. Mere Eglise for lunch. Paul also has excellent lunch recommendations. Thankful he is a foodie like me. My sons enjoyed the tour as well and learned so much from Paul. Excellent day.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience for my dad and me
Holy smokes this was awesome!! Theo did a truly PHENOMENAL job being our guide. He is very knowledgeable and could answer every question my dad and I asked. Theo is also very personable which made for super easy and fun conversations. This trip and Theo made my time in France with my dad, honestly, one of the best times of our lives. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Outstanding Tour
We consider ourselves really blessed to have chosen Neptune Battle Tours for our visit to Normandy. Our guide was "Boy". (He is also the owner of Neptune Tours!!) Boy was phenomenal! I couldn't imagine a more professional, flexible, or knowledgeable guide for our visit to Normandy. We (my wife and I) started the day by getting off our train from Paris in the wrong town!! (Caen instead of Bayeux!!) Boy didn't hesitate at all. Once we realized why we couldn't find each other outside the Bayeux train station, he was immediately back on the road, headed to Caen to find his lost clients! No recriminations, no smirking, just polite and efficient flexibility to make things feel seamless to us. Some skills and traits that Boy has that we felt at EVERY stop on the day: Knowledgeable - Boy knows the Normandy Campaign. Not just D-Day...but the Normandy Campaign. He opened our own perspectives to understand a much larger picture than we had when starting the day. Personal Knowledge - Boy has met people. Veterans of D-Day. Veterans of the Campaign. Historians. Family members. Foundation leaders. His gentle manner and genuine interest has helped him to accumulate a TON of information, background, personal anecdotes, and different perspectives on the history all around you in that area. Manner - Boy shares his wealth of knowledge without ever appearing to lecture or seem to be reading any type of script or check-list. He truly shares what he knows in a way that makes what could be an overwhelming flow of info become a series of personal observations about what we were seeing. Pleasant - Boy is just a nice guy! He never forced conversation, or allowed awkward silences. It was just a fun day with someone we felt we could call "friend" by the time we said good-bye at the train station. (On time, and at the correct station!!!) It was our very first private tour, 1-on-1 with a guide. We were a bit nervous and wondering about spending a day with a stranger. Well, that "stranger" thing stopped about 5 minutes after he picked us up. And it never felt forced. We felt all of those skills throughout the very full, but unhurried, day. I understand why his reviews are all so positive. We strongly recommend planning your trip to the D-Day beaches so that you can engage Boy for a day.

Great cruise excursion
Our Norwegian cruise ship got out of Belgium late because of dock workers strike so we were late getting to the Paris port. I called Vexperio the moment we found out and they just found out. Vexperio had great communication by sending texts and emails letting me and everyone know that the new arrival time of our ship was 9 and the shore excursion would start about 9:30am . The meeting point was easy just outside the terminal on the opposite side of the parking lot. This excursion was fantastic, Peter our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. Highly recommend this excursion.

Not seeing something you are looking for?

World War II history, UNESCO-listed monuments, Belle Epoque beach resorts, and medieval cities: Normandy has it all, and you’ll only scratch the surface of what this region offers on Normandy day trips. With just one day, focus your explorations on a particular area or sight, whether visiting France’s most famous island monastery, following the path of Allied soldiers at the D-Day beaches, or hopping between the picturesque coastal towns of the North. Normandy is close enough to Paris to be a day-trip destination, but you’ll be able to see even more if you start from Bayeux or Le Havre.
