From the beginning, Corentin was an outstanding guide and made this tour memorable. We relaxed in his spacious and comfortable van while he drove us through the French countryside to Mont St Michel. His vast and thorough knowledge of MSM was really captivating and left us laughing at times. Don't shop around. Book with Corentin now! You won't be disappointed.

The tour covers alot of ground and our guide was very knowledgeable. We got to see Utah and Omaha beach and while there a good overview of the landings and battles. And the American Cemetery which is really moving.

A long but extremely worthwhile day. Lots of walking with breaks between when traveling between the sites.

Very knowledgeable guide who shared historic information and stories of soldiers not known in history books. It is a longer day so with elderly come prepared with light snacks to eat between stops and water.

Fair at best. We did get to all the places but it was often very rushed. They told you the facts but not a good story teller and English was a bit a bit of a challenge. Vehicle broke down which delayed us about an hour and made it even more rushed. I’d pick another operator for a more enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the tour felt rushed and didn’t fully meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify that the delay was due to a minor battery issue rather than a breakdown, but we understand the inconvenience it caused.
Our group tours follow a set schedule, though we also offer private tours for a more relaxed experience. Your comments on the guide and communication are noted and will help us improve. We appreciate your feedback.

Luci was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Although it was a day long it covered the salient parts of the battle areas. I would recommend this for families.
Alsona_P, Nov 2025
Very informative. The van was comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable. Our guide kept us entertained with interesting facts and conversations

Sophie was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Went above and beyond.
My phone ran out of power and toward end of day wanted to get video of lowering of flag with taps at National Cemetery and he videoed it and sent it to me.
Very grateful

Our tour of the Normandy Battlefields (American sites) was excellent!! Our guide, David, was truly exceptional!! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! We wholeheartedly recommend it!
Myriam_C, Jun 2025
We enjoyed our tour very much. The smaller group tours allow everyone the opportunity to ask questions and relay what the observe to the whole group. The guide was well versed in the history of the different sites and added details and tidbits of information that he knew would interest the different people in the tour. For those who don't speak French, our guide spoke very good English. I have recommended the experience to friends who are thinking of doing a guided tour in Normandy.

Lots of walking. Well worth the cost. Excellent guide; Emma if you’re lucky!
A heart breaking reminder of what a waste war is; created by few but ending in the senseless loss of thousands and thousands of young lives.
Ann_J, Jun 2025
When traveling in a group, you are restricted to their mobility issues. However, the detail to information about the battles and invasion was extremely helpful.
Jane_C, Jun 2025
David was wonderful too- notch! Very knowledgeable. He was polite and patient. Comprehensive- what we saw and learned
Alea_B, May 2025
I loved the tour. One of the most influential experiences of my life. Our tour guide Louie was great. He definitely was a walking dictionary. Very very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Mark_H, May 2025
Study on the history of D Day prior to the tour. It adds to the atmosphere of the places visited.
Very interesting.
Mary_A, Apr 2025
It was a great trip through Normandy. We saw so many amazing sites, learned a lot of history, climbed in bunkers, walked in cemeteries, walked on the beaches, asked questions, and really enjoyed our time with Wally. We are very happy we chose this adventure, and it was a day well spent.
Gail_M, Apr 2025
The tour was very good and I highly recommend it. I think that most of the stops could have been a little shorter so that the airborne museum with the lunch stop could be a bit longer.
James_D, Apr 2025
Be sure that you verify your tour with rhe guide. It turned out that another tour company ca.e at the same time abd we went with them and no one verified if they had 2 extra people. When we got back to our hotel we were told that we missed our tour. I am sure the other tour company lost money because we never paid them for the 9 hour tour we had.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear James,
We delayed our tour by 20 minutes as we looked for you and tried also to contact you several times.
The other company probably didn't notice that they add extra clients and probably didn't check your name before departure.
We are glad you enjoyed your tour anyway.
Best regards
NST team

We had an awesome time. Our guide was fantastic. We had enough time at each location to see and do what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company.
Peter_B, Dec 2024
It was a little confusing as to the exact spot to meet the van. Our best guess was correct. Maybe having the van there a few minutes earlier, would help. Caroline was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I recommend this tour.
Loren_G, Nov 2024
Plan for a long day. It's like drinking from a fire hose, even if you think you know the history. Time well spent!
astrid_b, Nov 2024
The guide began the tour by letting us know it was his last day at work and he certainly acted as if he couldn’t wait to get the day over with. He gave perfunctory explanations at the various sites, then mostly left us to “explore” each site on our own. I listened to other guides near us at the tour sites and they seemed much more engaged than ours. The sites were interesting, the guide was decidedly not. I would only do a private tour next time with someone more motivated.

Our guide, Gaetan, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave a great tour. The battlefield tours were well laid out.
Bob_M, Oct 2024
Jack was a wealth of information ! He was on time as well as gave us time to explore. Great lunch at 82d museum
Hanna_C, Oct 2024
Excellent guide spoke fluent English.
Very knowledgable regarding all the sites
Recommended local restaurants
pickup site readily located and walkable from many hotels
Jerry_a, Sep 2024
We were so excited about the tour around the Normandy sites, but our guide, Jack, literally made the trip experience even more memorable. Jack was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and so very kind and patient with our small group. Although the day was jam packed, with a tight deadline, Jack allowed us the time we needed to digest the wealth of information he provided and the extra moments to pay our respects to the particular sites that were most impactful to our small group.
We are forever changed by this visit to the Normandy region and by being able to honor those our fought and died for freedom.

Seeing Ste-Mere Eglise, Utah, Omaha & Utah beaches with the American Cemetary.
Prison our guide was great!
Wish we had head sets to hear everything he said.
Carole_Q, Sep 2024
Jeremiah took us to visit Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, the German war cemetery, Sainte-Mere-Eglise (a town liberated by American paratroopers), and the American war cemetery. During the drive, he explained the history of WWII leading up to the D-Day invasion, including the preparations made for the invasion, how the date was selected, what false trails were laid so the Germans weren't prepared for it, and how they engaged the French resistance to help them.
At each location, he described what happened, going into detail on what things went wrong and what went right, and explained how each attack affect the others. Did you know that the Omaha Beach landing was actually going to fail, but then the reinforcement Rangers from the Pointe du Hoc attack showed up and helped them succeed, because their attack hadn't gone to plan and they enacted plan B, which was to reinforce Omaha instead of Pointe du Hoc?
I hadn't known beforehand that the D-Day invasion had lasted nearly two months, with multiple failures and massive casualties before the eventual success. Now I have a good understanding of the complexity of the undertaking, and that's all due to this tour.
David_W, Sep 2024
I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to visit so many of the sites in just 1 day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of each of the locations and was a local to the area. Thank you for an awesome time.
John_T, Sep 2024
Our guide was excellent - he was very knowledgeable about each of the 5 stops we made and answered all our questions. He was friendly, informative and a great driver!
