Top Normandy Day Trips

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.

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.

This is a pilgrimage every American should make. It was a beautiful, moving, solemn and unforgettable experience. Our tour guide ("Sam") was outstanding; his depth of knowledge and insights were unmatchable. The tour included all the stops we wanted to make and was perfectly timed to provide us with ample time to truly appreciate each experience. The communication about the meeting point and details was excellent, and we were returned to the cruise ship port in plenty of time before departure. Five stars all around; thank you for an unforgettable experience.

This was the perfect way to make history fun for kids. Ours were 12 and 14 and loved sitting on the back of the motorcycle and riding in the side car. Remi and John were great guides who clearly loved their job and enjoyed sharing Normandy with visitors. Highly recommend!

Our guide Sam was amazing. My husband knows all the history of Normandy and the time period but I was worried about how little I know. Sam was great at narrating the time period and getting us up to speed as we went to all the sites. He even added a bathroom/coffee stop on the way and a souvenir stop at the end. It was everything we needed. They were great at sending communication ahead of time so we knew right where to go.

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.

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.

We were happy to be picked up in Bayeux and driven to Mont Saint-Michel. My husband was happy to be there during low tide and get to walk out on the muddy clay surrounding the island. The village and Abby were as impressive as we’d hoped. Our guide, Vi, was full of knowledge and stories than enriched the experience. I enjoyed the scale models of the Mont. Keep in mind the lines for the bus back to the parking lot are long, so we had to wait for another bus, and that made us a little late on our departure.
