Oozing with charm and history!

Lots of historic charm and our guide Lawrence was very knowledgeable about the area and history in general. He gave a great tour! Lots of time to shop, eat, take photos and still be back at the cruise ship in plenty of time. 100% worth your time and money!

Excellent Experience for quick half day tour!

The experience was fantastic! Antoine got very detailed which I wanted and answered all my questions about D-day the players, battles, weapons and impact it had on the men who fought as well as the macro picture of the war. His politeness, knowledge and enthusiasm was top notch! I would recommend this tour for casual observers or big time WW2 buffs.

Lesley_H, Jan 2026

A Masterpiece of a Tour!

Matt went above and beyond all of our expectations in every way. His historical and military knowledge of D-Day is absolutely incredible, the result of interviews with first-hand witnesses - including Normandy locals and D-Day veterans - and rigorous academic study. It isn't all facts and figures, though. Matt's tour brings a very Human perspective of D-Day through masterful storytelling giving an immersive experience we've never seen anywhere else. The tour is clearly years in the making, and we are so proud that Matt continues his pursuit to keep our shared History of defending Freedom alive.

A unique experience you won’t regret.

My husband and I had a great time. Remy is a personable and excellent tour guide and driver. We had a great time learning about the area and the history. This was a great way to travel to and through Honfleur and the countryside. Definitely the highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Remy. All of our Calvados made it home and intact!

A brilliant authentic experience for the family.

Amazing experience with my sons and husband. Far from gimmicky this is the real deal. These guys know the routes and all the historical facts and will transport you to places the more touristic operations won't take you. Like the vantage point above Omaha beach. Their historical knowledge is second to none, their sense of fun puts the kids into a great frame of mind and the retro experience a brilliant way to do this. Could not recommend it enough

This was an outstanding...

This was an outstanding tour with an excellent and well-informed guide (thank you Marian). We learned much and experienced much, and came away with a sense of awe and appreciation for what our young soldiers accomplished on June 6 and beyond. The visit to the cemetery was very moving. For those considering a shorter tour, we'd highly recommend this one - there was a lot of information packed into the trip.

Outstanding Tour

Fantastic tour…Helene, our guide for the day was amazing! She was so knowledgeable, happy, and enthusiastic about giving us a very comprehensive account of all the happenings on 6 June 1944! Our visit to Ste Mere-Église, Ponte du Hoc, the Landing Beaches - Utah and Omaha, and to the American Cemetery were all quite moving as we relived the landings and all that our Boys (US), not to forget the Brits and Canadians who landed at Gold, Juno and Sword (we did not visit these 3 beaches on this tour) went through just trying to make it ashore and capture the beachhead for follow on troops…WOW! Highly recommend this tour and if you get Helene as your guide, well you are lucky…she is great!

Great way to explores Normandy

This was such a wonderful experience, I would love to recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy Bayeux countryside. It’s not physically challenging as I thought. Rather very relaxing and manageable ride. Our tour guide Theo was very nice and knowledgeable about the D-day and Normandy . We rode around the area and learned about the history. I cried at the Normandy memorial site. What a tour!

Highly recommend the tour & our guide ROMA

Our English guide Roma was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and knew how to tell the complex history in a way that was easy to understand. She was not only a great communicator but also a very friendly and lovely person! She drove us to places that would be hard to navigate on our own. I highly recommend Roma and the D-day tour.

Gurminder_K, Jun 2025

Wonderful tour

This was a fantastic tour and our guide Miriam was wonderful. She allowed adequate time at each site to explore and explained the history of the area and what happened during D-Day really well. We didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the area, but thought this tour gave us quite a bit of perspective on the D-Day invasion. Would definitely recommend this tour.
