Our guide, Lu, was...
Our guide, Lu, was wonderful - she was so knowledgeable about the history and evolution of Mont St-Michel and was able to answer each and every question. The tour was well-organized and with just the right pacing throughout the Abbey to be able to see and hear the significance of each room and construction. Top notch tour.

Incredible Tour with a Spectacular Guide!
It's difficult to articulate how meaningful of an experience this tour was. We knew this tour would be a sobering experience, but Boy's connection to the Normandy region and the personal relationships he has built with many veterans resulted in a feeling of developing a more personal connection that was unexpected. We loved how Boy would guide us through each of the locations, giving us the history, pointing out interesting individuals and telling us their stories, and telling us how the monuments and resting grounds were developed and continue to be maintained. He would then allow us time to sit with that information, allowing us time to process. We were never rushed from location to location. This is a day that will stay with you long after you return home. If you're planning a trip to Normandy, this is the D-Day tour you should book!

Great and fascinating tour
Full day tour went by so quickly due to our great tour guide, Thierry. He took us around to see so many historical sites and had entertaining stories about each location. First part of day was exploring Omaha beach, the cemetery, and such. Second part focused on historical sites related to the airborne. Loved it

Normandy
Very informative and also humbling understanding the history of Normandy and the battles it took to win the D-Day invasion. The US cemetery was so awesome in a bittersweet way. So clean, maintained perfectly with such honor to the fallen warriors. God bless them all!

Learn and enjoy about Mont Saint Michel from those who know.
Anna and Bruce were the two who guided the small group of us to a wonderful tour of Mont Saint Michel. Anna explained every aspect of the abbey particularly well. She is passionate about making every experience the best. I highly recommend both Anna and Bruce.

Highly Recommend
Irene was a fabulous guide. She was entertaining and told us a lot of information in a fun learning way to help us remember facts. She was very accommodating at fitting in everything we wanted to see including helping a cousin find a family member at the America cemetery. It was a great day and I would highly recommend. I should also add this is my husband and my 2nd time doing this tour and we learned additional information. For the other 4 family members it was their first time and they throughly enjoyed it

Book this tour! Do not hesitate!
This was a fantastic tour! We spent over three weeks touring London, Spain, Portugal, and Paris, and this was the highlight of our trip! Our guide Noe was exceptional and had such an amazing depth of knowledge, so very impressive. He had a great sense of humor and told all the amazing stories that you don't really hear about. The transportation was very comfortable for a long day of touring Normandy. We stopped and had a great lunch in Sainte Mere-Eglise halfway through to the day. We saw all the major sites and it was just incredible. The cost for a private tour was definitely worth it to have flexibility and the personal attention in a small group. We were a group of 6, Army Veterans and Paratroopers, so it was even more incredible for us and to hear all the amazing stories Noe told us that we did not know already. Don't hesitate to book this tour, with this company. I hope you get Noe as a guide, he was truly amazing!
*Bring water or snacks, wear shoes that are comfortable and can walk on the beach. Check the weather, it was windy and chilly on the beach in Aug.

Excellent full day tour with fantastic guide
My wife and I did the full day group tour and we were lucky enough to be the only guests. I was impressed this company didn’t cancel the booking or try to merge us with another group. Our guide was there on time and displayed the same level of effort just for the two of us. Our guides name was Bryce and he was passionate and knowledgeable of the events that took place. He also allowed us to make changes along the way to ensure we got the best experience. The van was nice and clean with great air conditioning. I highly recommend the tour, this company and Bryce as a guide.

The most special day!
Hugo was fabulous! So knowledgeable and patient with our group of a mix of kids and adults. The views of the country were breathtaking and visiting the sites of Omaha beach, German bunkers and the American Cemetery and museum were very special. The bikes were great and easy for first time e-bike users. This tour is a must! A day we will never forget.

A wonderful experience
A wonderful activity from start to finish! Super easy pickup from the train station in a small group format. The stops were well planned and thoughtful in their story telling. Irene our guide was fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and delivered the stories in an impactful and entertaining manner.
Be prepared for various weather fronts!

really informative and really fun!
Great experience, with Remi, our enthusiastic, totally-knowledgeable, and fun-to-be-with driver and guide! Remi clearly loves his work and this era of history of this area where he grew up. He knew every detail to answer my questions (and I've read a lot of WWII history). One kind of treat was Remi's stopping briefly in a tiny village on the back roads we drove to get from site to site, to learn what life was like before D-day and after. Another was a short-cut drive via a particularly-beautiful small country road in this area where Remi grew up. And of course all the 'basics' were dramatic and fascinating, including Omaha Beach landing complexity, and building the gigantically-ambitious artificial harbor at Gold. The American cemetery was especially beautiful and moving, including being at the daily 4pm ceremony. And my wife totally loved the sidecar experience and driving in the open air!

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.
