Amazing Day

This is one of if not the most informative and amazing tour we have ever taken! Matt was the greatest and his level of knowledge is beyond impressive! He went out of his way to take us exactly where my grandfather landed. Unbelievable experience and will be coming back for other tours!

D-Day Beaches Shore Excursion from Le Havre with Packed Lunch

Jim_K, Jun 2026

Excellent excursion with extended opportunity to walk and reflect on the hallowed beaches and Pointe Du Hoc

Our travel guide, Ash (a graduate student at the Sorbonne) was extremely knowledgeable. His memory and recitation of history, dates, facts and figures regarding number of fathers and sons buried together, brothers buried together, total interred, etc. was most impressive and enhanced the excursion. I thought this was better than the Princess excursion because, instead of stopping at a local restaurant for an hour and a half lunch, this tour gave everyone a bag-lunch of ham and cheese on a French baguette with homemade macaroons, and potato chips, to allow for an extra hour+ touring Omaha, Utah, and Pointe Du Hoc, which was the whole point of this excursion. I especially appreciated being able to walk on Omaha Beach and gather a small sample of sand from this hallowed ground. It also gave us time to have our lunch at picnic tables under field tents that were set up by the US, British and French forces who gathered to commemorate the June 6th D-Day anniversary.

Our guide, Jordan was...

Our guide, Jordan was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information without overwhelming. We loved his enthusiasm. His English was excellent. The tour was very moving, especially the stories Jordan related. There were plenty of bus breaks and the bus was quite comfortable. There is a break for about 1.5 hours for lunch and/or visit to the Airborne Museum. Highly recommend.

Wonderful and moving experience.

We loved this tour! Peter, our tour guide, was wonderful and incredibly knowledgable on WWII history. He took us to the Normandy American Cemetery, the memorial site for the National Guard, and the cliffs where the Army Rangers scaled on D-Day. We had a delicious lunch at the beach as well.

Excellent 1/2 Day / D-Day Experience!

This half day tour is a must do! Lucy, our guide, picked us up at our hotel and we joined a small group for a memorable experience at the Normandy American Cemetery, Point du Hoc and Omaha Beach. As we drove to each point and upon arrival, Lucy shared a wealth of knowledge and answered questions. She was very accommodating to each of us, making sure we were comfortable. This tour was the perfect way to see 3 outstanding areas, gaining a historical perspective and honoring those who perished in World War II. It was truly moving.

An incredible day!

I truly incredible experience. I don't think anyone can really understand how terrible war is until you stand at the top of the cemetery and look at the graves of almost ten thousand men who gave everything so I did not have to grow up speaking German. Our guide was really wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. He made the entire trip great.

Bryce_F, May 2026

Great service and so friendly

Definitely worthwhile. First off - the service. We had challenges with trains and luggage getting to Bayeaux and they saved the day last minute by taking our luggage in the tour van. Then after they made a special trip to drop off us with luggage at our hotel which was amazing. It really saved our day. In terms of the tour I really appreciated seeing and hearing about some of the less considered parts of d day like the logistics. We all know the famous beach stories - and it’s amazing to see Omaha - but I feel like I got a lot more appreciation of the whole operation. Plus our guide really focused on the human factor - the loss of life and huge impacts - on both the soldiers and the French. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone. I will advise that coming to Bayeaux in the morning without any place to leave your luggage will make the day harder. There are luggage storage places but they take lunch beaks from 12-2. So make sure you have a plan for luggage or come the day before so you can have a stress free day.

Fantastic Tour!

This was a fantastic tour to the three major sites (American cemetery, Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc). Our tour guide (can't remember her name, but she wears a pink jacket) was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge. There were 7 of us on the tour. I can't recommend it enough.

Bucket list item - CHECK!

This tour left from Bayeux, so it was about a 1.5hr drive thru beautiful Normandy. We had a small group (5). Elise was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I have some mobility issues and knew I would struggle with the climbing. Elise was so thoughtful about my needs. In the end I sent her and the rest of the group ahead. I did what I could but I was very pleased with this tour.

Corentin made this visit memorable!

From the beginning, Corentin was an outstanding guide and made this tour memorable. We relaxed in his spacious and comfortable van while he drove us through the French countryside to Mont St Michel. His vast and thorough knowledge of MSM was really captivating and left us laughing at times. Don't shop around. Book with Corentin now! You won't be disappointed.

Great tour and guide!

Absolutely terrific from start to finish. Emilie, who was my contact in setting up the trip, was great with good communication. V, our guide, was equally wonderful. She was really well-prepared with a book of visual aids that really added to the information presented. En route to Pont du Hoc, she laid out the war prior to D-Day, with the resistance and the Vichy government.
