Excellent tour for small groups. I brought my 15 and 17 year olds along for the tour and was very thankful that Paul was engaging and humorous. Paul is very knowledgeable and does an amazing job explaining the stories behind the sites. The tour is thoughtfully organized and you are given ample time at the American Cemetery to wander and in St. Mere Eglise for lunch. Paul also has excellent lunch recommendations. Thankful he is a foodie like me. My sons enjoyed the tour as well and learned so much from Paul. Excellent day.

Very convenient pick up from a central location in Bayeux near our hotel. It was a small group tour so it was able to be customized. Our guide was terrific in terms of history/background but also very practical in suggestions in terms of getting through the crowds.

Had a wonderful tour of Mont-Saint-Michel with Rose. She adeptly and efficiently nagivated us through large crowds and provided insightful information throughout the process. She was very patient with a mixed age group and their varying needs. Would highly recommend!

Book This Tour!!!
We booked this tour because we love the history of WW2 and it was wonderful. Guillaume was our tour guide and he was amazing. So knowledgeable and he even inserted some personal stories of his own. The meeting point is centrally located in Bayeux center. We first went to Omaha Beach, then stopped at the American Cemetery. Go into the chapel there and look up! We visited Utah Beach, Point du Hoc and were allowed to roam for an hour in St. Marie Eglise were we got lunch. Our guide told us such interesting stories about what happened right where we were standing in front of the church. We also visited Carentan where we went into a church where
two American medics brought both American and German soldiers there to help. Guillaume was amazing. The van was very comfortable and there were about 10 other people on the tour. Highly Recommend!!!!

Nice Way to See Omaha Beach
We did about 20 to 30 miles bike ride from Bayeaux. Our guide Theo was lovely and the ride back along the cliff is beautiful. We saw things we wouldn’t have found on our own - the castle where the Nazis did their planning for the Atlantic Wall, the hill where the Allies distributed their fuel and bunkers. The visitors center at Omaha Beach was great and we already knew a lot of the information before going in. Recommend for a bit of physical activity and to enjoy the landscape and history.

Exceptional full day tour— to all the important D-Day sites!
Tour guide (Pascal) was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining! He kept our entire group interested as he shared historical information, photos, and anecdotes about D-Day in Normandie. We visited many historic sites that helped reinforce this period in history. The pace was good for folks of all ages and the transportation was very comfortable. Pascal was also a very good driver. This was a full day tour (9-5) but it flew by because Pascal was so interesting! I highly recommend this tour!

The best DDay tour
Boy was the best tour guide one could ask for. He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating. informative, and passionate about preserving the memory of DDay and the stories of the many men and women who served. His command of the details of the events was superb.
We feel honored to have had him as our guide.

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!

Our tour guide, Marine...
Our tour guide, Marine was fantastic. Her knowledge of the area (she is a local) and history of WWII was outstanding. Each of us learned a lot. This tour was so informative. Taking the full day to absorb the gravity of the war and appreciate all those who sacrificed so much was well needed.

Excellent tour, highly recommended
Excellent tour, brilliantly handled by Nad. Instructions from Ophorus were clear and accurate about meeting places and what to expect in the tour. Nad was extremely informative and passionate about Mont Saint-Michel, as well as Normandy in general. Very highly recommend this 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.

Tips for visiting Mont St. Michel
Ophorous provides the abbey ticket and transportation. Our trip driver/guide Valentin explained that due to crowds Go to the Abbey at the top first, while not busy, then after stop at view points for pictures, then shop at village shops and stop for lunch as the place explodes with tourists coming in, and lastly go out onto the sand if low tide, and get photo ops. It was a great tip, and then you can walk back and cut over on the right side dirt path to pass by the sheep for awesome pics on the way back to the meeting point.
