Normandy UNESCO D-Day
We had the most amazing experience at Normandy with Maja as our tour guide!! She was absolutely fantastic and such a great story teller. She was very very knowledgeable and mad our experience incredible. We visited the German burial site, Normandy beach and finally the American burial site. It was a very long day but an excellent day off the ship seeing these sites. And they had us back in plenty of time for our sailing. I definitely recommend this shore excursion and hopefully you will get Maja. She is fantastic and really cares about her group having an extraordinary day!!

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.

Normandy Beach Tour
Very informative and interesting.
Enjoyed time learning about D-Day and the war and about the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country.
Very professional and was a great tour guide.
Would highly recommend her.
My husband and daughter agree,also.

Historical knowledge delivered in an enjoyable, efficient tour
The tour covers not only D-Day's timeline and beyond, but also almost 30 miles of Normandy coastline. Our tour leader, Alex, spoke to us about the Allies' overall plans as well as specifics for numerous days of the battle. His sense of humor and ability to answer questions was admirable. Very pleased with our tour.

Great tour and exceptional guide !
We had the best day !! Jordan was our guide and his knowledge and stories only added to the experience. We love history so we felt like sponges. Highly recommend the Bayeux Shuttle tour and if you can ask for Jordan I would. Thank for making a memorable day.

Normandy Excursion
It is a very solemn but beautiful experience to see how our soldiers fought for our freedom and the freedom of the world. Raymond was an incredible storyteller and historian. He made WWII come alive. The driver was great at his job too. The lunch was nice!

Educational D-Day Experience
We had an educational and relaxed day with Vic. Obviously a very sobering tour but Vic kept the right tone and imparted many interesting and important facts that really helped us understand D-Day and days thereafter. The length was perfect to take in numerous locations without feeling rushed or that we were missing out on things. Highly recommend and you’re in for a treat if you have Vic as your guide.

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.

Well worth the time and money! Fantastic tour!
It’s a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Adrian as your tour guide. Had us fooled sounded like he had a British accent and was 100% French. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and just great to spend the day with. My family enjoyed the trip and guide, it’s a must see tour!

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.

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.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
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.
