Respect for heroes
Our guide Thierry was very kind and had great knowledge of events in WWII. We were very comfortable in the modern clean vehicle used with Air Conditioning on a very hot day. We were offered cold drinks as well. The taps ceremony (lowering of the American flag) at 4 pm was very poignant and we were grateful for the respect given our military heroes.

Half-Day Tour was the best!
The half-day tour was great! Our host, Valentin, was so knowledgeable and took a lot of time in his explanation. His passion for history was evident! We loved all the stops and had ample time to explore on our own. Would definitely book again! Well worth the money!

Great tour
The beaches are further apart from each other than I had anticipated which is why an eight tour is hardly “plenty of time.” Our guide’s name was David and he was knowledgeable, personable and brought an enthusiasm to the historic events that’s not always easy to do when telling them over and over. Highly recommend

DDay remembered thanks to a wonderful guide
What a great experience with the help of our guide Lucy. From pickup to drop off nothing was missed and in a challenging overly busy period we met our objective of getting to each site for experience that I was looking for. Our guide was informative, pleasant, and really took care to make sure each member of the group was able to enjoy all of the locations we wanted to see and come away with a great memory. What made it impactful is the guide truly cared for each person and saw we were not lost in all the busy activities which brings perhaps the most people to DDay celebration in Normandie. Highly recommend the company and the guide and to do the tour b if you want to avoid crowds choose a day other than June 6. But we managed well. Bring attire for the weather as we experienced three seasons in one day. Thank you Lucy

Wonderful bike tour!
We had a great tour with Hugo. He is very knowledgeable and, in addition to having a great time biking through scenic areas, villages and rural areas, we learned a lot! Hugo was very attentive to our needs. The bikes are great, the power assist was very helpful on a few hills.

Once in a life time trip
This tour is a wonderful way to get around all the important sites. Your guide will point out details you will not see otherwise.
Our guides Remy and Thomas were knowledgeable, entertaining, and brought the historic events to life. We couldn’t imagine our time in Normandy without them!

An amazing D-day experience
This tour is not for the faint of heart as it covers so much history, both heroic and tragic. Our guide, Faustin, was amazing. His historical knowledge was superb and he guided us with respect for the subject matter as well as good humor. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him. We learned so much we didn’t know about the planning and action of D-day and beyond, without being overwhelmed. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour
In short, our tour through Normandy was excellent. We're a family of three, and as this was our first time in Normandy, we wanted to see as much as possible. We figured a private tour would allow us to accomplish this goal. We truly lucked out with our tour guide, Emmanuel, who was able to accommodate our agenda. At each stop, he was able to provide additional background and details while giving us the time and space to explore on our own. In addition, he was kind, funny, and a great driver!
To highlight how Emmanuel made the trip extra special, my dad had mentioned in passing that he had served in the US Coast Guard. During our stop at the Normandy American Cemetery, Emmanuel made sure to point out the lone Coast Guard member listed in the Garden of the Missing.
We definitely recommend this trip (and Emmanuel) for others!

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!

Exceptional tour guide
Pierre was phenomenal. So very knowledgeable about not only D Day but the local town as well. He was obviously passionate about what he does and was friendly and engaging throughout the entire day. The tour was perfect blend of guided information and free time to explore the various sites as well. Our train was delayed and like the description states, he did in fact wait for us before leaving to get started. Would absolutely recommend. Pierre was amazing!!

Christopher was prompt,...
Christopher was prompt, very pleasant, and informative. The hour and a half drive to and from Monet’s home and garden was very pleasant with Christopher. He showed us around and let us have time to explore on our own. Definitely the highlight of our visit to Paris. Fulfilled a lifetime dream.

Do not miss this experience!
Such an excellent experience! Highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. Great experience for kids. I would not recommend for elderly since walking surfaces are uneven and the water in the (3) rivers can be deep (to the knees).

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Normandy is home to iconic medieval monuments, World War II battle sites, and picturesque beach resorts, but with limited time, it’s best to focus on the highlights. Normandy half-day tours are an ideal choice for time-crunched travelers, but they are also a great way to get to know a city better or enjoy a memorable activity. Inject fun into your trip by opting for a unique transport method, such as a sidecar, WWII-era Jeep, or an e-bike. Combine a sightseeing tour with a cider tasting at a local winery, or join friends for an exciting scavenger hunt.
