Katrina_M, Sep 2026

DDay walking in the footsteps of history

wear comfy shoes and layers as weather is changeable at the different locations. take a drink and small snack with you as it is a busy itinerary. you will stand where the landings happened and really get a sense of the scale of the defensive position and how challenging that was to overcome. the cemetery is surprisingly beautiful and so well cared for. if you have ever watched a film about DDay you will recognise place names and if you haven’t then you should before or after the trip. having a guide who has thoroughly researched the events and personal stories made the experience. we were in a group of 8 made up of 4 couples- from Scotland, Ireland, Sweden and USA so a very mixed group and we all found it superb.

Absolutely must do!

It’s hard to describe how moving it is to be where D-Day actually happened and then to visit the cemetery where so many brave souls are laid to rest. We also learned so much about the planning and execution of the D-Day attack. It was a not-to-be-missed experience.

Excellent Normandy Tour — Informative, Well Organized, and Great Value

We booked this tour because the cruise ship’s excursion had already sold out, and we were also happy to find that this tour was less expensive. We were very pleased with our decision! Our tour guide, Sam, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about Normandy and did a wonderful job explaining the events leading up to, during, and following D-Day. His knowledge and storytelling really brought the history to life and made the experience both educational and memorable. The tour was very well organized and ran right on time. As cruise passengers, we especially appreciated that we returned to the ship with plenty of time before departure, which made the day completely stress-free. VEXPERIO also did a great job with communication. They provided clear instructions on where to meet, and they had staff members outside the terminal to guide us to the bus, making the meeting process easy and straightforward. Overall, this was an excellent tour and a great value. We would highly recommend VEXPERIO to anyone visiting Normandy, especially fellow cruise passengers looking for a well-organized and informative Normandy tour.

History and highlights

A great little tour if you’re short on time and after the highlights. Our guide Margot was engaging, clear and never rushed us, allowing plenty of time for photos, questions and reflection. Expect changing weather conditions, but that just adds to the experience. Thank you again Margot and to the Viator team for the many alerts to ensure we wouldn’t miss our tour.

Magical Mont St Michel

Worth it! Don’t second guess. It’s better with a guide. Our guide, Elise, shared her rich knowledge with wonderful story telling and excellent English. Mont St Michel was truly magical and breathtaking. The whole package was excellent and I would highly recommend.

Great brief tour of Omaha Beach and American Cemetary

Excellent tour. It was brief for those that unfortunately cannot spend more than 1/2 day. It was a 2 1/2 hour train ride from Paris and Charles had us for about 4 1/2 hours. He is an excellent guide and knows a lot of history. We are so glad we came. We got an air-conditioned van and went to Long Sur Mer (point du Hoc was closed), then we went to Omaha Beach to the American cemetery. Charles even dropped us off at the train station.

I joined the Normandy...

I joined the Normandy Beach tour on what was probably the busiest day of the year, but Lucie was an outstanding guide. She skillfully adjusted the schedule throughout the day to avoid crowds at each site and traffic on the roads, making sure we were able to see all the important locations. I was late starting my museum visit, but Lucie guided me as efficiently as possible so that I could still see almost everything. Her flexibility, quick judgment, and professionalism made the experience smooth and enjoyable despite the heavy crowds. I would absolutely recommend Lucie as a guide.

Exceptional full day tour— to all the important D-Day sites!

Tour guide (Pascal) was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining! He kept our entire group interested as he shared historical information, photos, and anecdotes about D-Day in Normandie. We visited many historic sites that helped reinforce this period in history. The pace was good for folks of all ages and the transportation was very comfortable. Pascal was also a very good driver. This was a full day tour (9-5) but it flew by because Pascal was so interesting! I highly recommend this tour!

Don_H, Apr 2026

Informative and emotional

Our guide, Thierry, was very knowledgeable. He added a lot to the tour with his detailed stories about some of the men who fought in these battles, and the tactics and strategies of the combatants and their commanders. He used pictures and maps of the action in his presentation. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be ready for a few close quarters and steps in the bunkers. Also be ready to stand as your tour guide details what happened in these areas in 1944. Come with your questions. Our guide time the ending to be at the EOD taps and flag lowering.
