If we could give this 10 stars, we would!
This was AMAZING!! We had our own personal tour guide driver. He picked us uo from our hotel (3.5 hours away) and took us to Normandy. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and kind. He gave us some great tips, recommended an amazing restaurant and was patient when we needed an additional bathroom break! We could not be happier with this booking and would absolutely recommend it to everyone. Of our group of 7, only one (a teenager) was a history buff, the rest of us were a mix of 'interested' to 'I'm just here because my parents made me' ( also a teenager). He did a great job of engaging us all, knowing who to share more specific details with, and who to just chit chat with. This was wonderful and worth every single penny.

Amazing!
This was an incredible experience. Lauren was extremely knowledgeable- I dont think we asked a single question that she could not answer. I learned more about ww2 and day in 9 hours than I ever learned in years of schooling. I highly recommend this tour!

Great kid friendly family day from Paris
Loved our tour with Julie! She was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. She made hard concepts easy to understand. It was great to have a local’s knowledge with global perspective. She did great navigating around detours. We saw things we would not have seen otherwise. It was an easy (but long) day trip from Paris. It was great with 4 kids 10-12.

Amazing day trip to St.Michel
We got the great luck of having Lucas as our tour guide. He (& the weather) were great! He was informative, funny, had an easy to hear voice and spoke English very well. Mont St Michel passed all expectations- it was a great tour for an amazing location!

Expert Guide Who Brought History to LifE
This tour was excellent from start to finish. The pick-up was easy and everything was very well organised. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about the history, which made the experience even more meaningful. Visiting Omaha Beach and the cemetery was very moving, and the stories and context our guide shared really brought the history to life. A powerful experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Normandy.

The tour was wonderful,...
The tour was wonderful, very complete, and the guide also made the effort to speak to us in Spanish, which we greatly appreciated. She also took us to the German cemetery, which was not originally included in the itinerary, because we were very interested in seeing it. She was delightful at all times, especially when she kindly offered to take family photos for us. We had a wonderful day — a totally recommendable experience.

Mont Saint Michel tour...
Mont Saint Michel tour was very well arranged. We were lucky to have the same guide, Manon, for the tour! The entire tour was indeed an unique experience in the medieval charm of the island and the abbey. We got enough free time to explore the area & grab lunch on the island before returning.
Indeed worth visiting !!

A tour guide is a must to truly experience the D Day invasion
Adrian, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the many sites and details surrounding the D Day invasion. He told personal stories along with the details.
We were late leaving Rouen so we emailed the company. We received an immediate response saying he would wait for us. We arrived and we then followed him via our car to park for free at the train station. He was very patient and understanding.
Timing our arrival at the cemetery to coincide with the lowering of the flag made the visit especially poignant. To improve he might talk more about the cemetery before we arrived so we could experience it with more quiet time for reflection on the enormity of the locale.

An Authentic and Inspiring Experience
This is a wonderful half day tour of Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, and Point du Hoc. Our guide, Charlie, was very passionate about the war in his words, in his careful and deliberate depictions and sketches of what the Allied soldiers experienced on D day. I felt totally immersed and in the guide of an expert who truly made the experience worthwhile. You will have an opportunity to see the intimidating cliffs the US rangers had to scale to storm the German gun batteries and awe in just how difficult that feat would have been. You will see the American cemetery where the thousands of lives were given over the course of the war to fight tyranny. If you time it right, you will get to see the taps ceremony at 1600 which undoubtedly evokes a sense of admiration and sadness. Finally, seeing the same beach the thousands of Allied soldiers stormed under terrible weather conditions and sheer bad luck really gives you a perspective on what sacrifice truly means. I highly recommend the tour.

D-day brought to life
This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Bert, brought us back to 1944 with stories and pictures from the time. At each stop we were given an appropriate amount of information of what we were seeing and frequently were given a story of real people and what they went through.
My uncle survived the invasion of Normandy and I went through quite a few tissues when we got to Omaha beach, but even if you don’t have a personal connection, you are very likely to become emotional.
The sacrifice and the bravery of those soldiers was incredible.
This tour was one of the best I have been on and cannot recommend it more highly.

Steeped in World War II history and home to some of France’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there’s plenty to uncover in Normandy, but this large region can be tricky to get around without your own transport. Normandy bus tours provide a convenient way to visit the headline acts, whether you’re a solo traveler, don’t have the budget for a private guide, or want to pack as much as possible into a day trip or shore excursion. Set itineraries take the hassle out of purchasing tickets and organizing transport, plus you can admire Normandy’s changing landscapes along the way.
