Phenomenal tour! Rayan was so personable and knowledgeable and allowed us to personalize our trip. Well done!

The trip was educational and interesting. Our guide started in Paris with explanations of what was around us. He had an amazing amount of knowledge on Paris and WW2 history. Beautiful trip.

Fabrice made this an amazing experience. He was very knowledgeable about the details and specifics of what took place in Normandy. He discussed the strategies that were used and talked about the American soldiers as people and gave insight into their ages, experience level, and the weather conditions that they had to experience. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he was so interesting and made me want to know and learn more. He was very passionate about the subject and made this a trip to remember. There were several cruise ship excursions that day and he made sure that we avoided the crowds by being aware of their progress and changing the sequence of the areas that we toured. We also ate at a wonderful farm to table restaurant that he chose. He went above and beyond by giving us suggestions of where to eat in Paris and some history of the city. This trip was well worth the cost because of our amazing guide!

Julien was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, paced the trip perfectly. The sites were busy but not too crowded, lunch was amazing & we had the experience we were hoping for. Saw a lot, learned a lot - very glad we went.
Craig_S, Jun 2026
We had an excellent trip. Our guide had an excellent plan in place to see the important sites and he explained them very well. He also recommended a local restaurant for lunch that was delicious and affordable. He customized the trip to our interests. It is a long day, but absolutely worth it.

Great trip. Carlos our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.
Steve_C, Jun 2026
This trip was incredible. The van was comfortable and clean. The service was efficient. The countryside and beaches of Normandy were beautiful. The physical experience of visiting a place we had read about in history books was very meaningful. Best of all, our guide, Rayan, was absolutely wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about the history of D-Day and answered all of our questions. He also gave suggestions for a delicious lunch. We highly recommend using this service and look forward to seeing Rayan again one day.
Andrew_B, Jun 2026
This was a great experience. Very moving and our driver, Ryan, was knowledgeable and friendly. He told us things that we didn’t know. He showed us many things that we wouldn’t have even known to look for. We could not have asked for a better guide!
Linda_A, May 2026
Our driver was Lucille - we cannot say enough good things about our experience in Normandy-we met her promptly at 7 am in Paris. Her knowledge of World War history was amazing - we learned so much from her .
and not to mention her perfect driving skills in such a congested city.. The day was absolutely perfect… Hoping to meet with her again on a future tour !
Thank you
Craig_P, May 2026
Our guide, Ryan, was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and engaging. Very curious about our country and experiences. The sacrifices made at Normandy for freedom by many countries was very humbling. Try to hire Ryan!
NILES_H, May 2026
I truly incredible experience. I don't think anyone can really understand how terrible war is until you stand at the top of the cemetery and look at the graves of almost ten thousand men who gave everything so I did not have to grow up speaking German.
Our guide was really wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. He made the entire trip great.
Valori_S, May 2026
Worth every dollar. Great personalized service and a tour that operates on your schedule. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attune to our wishes. He adjusted the order of events to best avoid crowds and busy times to give us the best experience
Craig_B, May 2026
A fantastic experience from start to finish. Fabrice is a great guy, knowledgeable and very friendly. We even saw Bayeaux on the way back. Great to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel.
Steven_W, May 2026
Carlos did an outstanding job of getting us to the beaches and cemeteries. We also really enjoyed the history of the region from William the Conqueror to after WW II. Bayern was very interesting and a great little side trip. We highly recommend Carlos!
Mark_W, Apr 2026
Tour was great with Lucille, we communicated on the trip very easily ahead of time, van was great, she showed up early, she is an awesome driver and knows everything about Normandy and D day. Couldn’t of been better.
Shawn_R, Apr 2026
Out tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history not only of the area in the war but also the people and history of the people and decisions during the war. It was very informative and the tour guide was very good at moving at our speed, since we spent extra time in some areas and less in others. Would 100% recommend this tour.
Gary_R, Apr 2026
We are so glad we had a private guide, Herve, who was an encyclopedia of knowledge. It’s a long day but extremely interesting and informative. If possible, get to the beaches at low tide so that you can see the wide beach that the soldiers and equipment had to cross. At high tide there is no sand visible
Kristina_R, Apr 2026
We had the best day at Normandy! We have always wanted to come here and are so glad that we did! Fabrice was an incredible guide! He shared so many historical facts and details. He was so wonderful and easy to talk to. I’d recommend this tour to anyone. Especially with Fabrice as your guide!
Jackie_K, Apr 2026
This was AMAZING!! We had our own personal tour guide driver. He picked us uo from our hotel (3.5 hours away) and took us to Normandy. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and kind. He gave us some great tips, recommended an amazing restaurant and was patient when we needed an additional bathroom break! We could not be happier with this booking and would absolutely recommend it to everyone. Of our group of 7, only one (a teenager) was a history buff, the rest of us were a mix of 'interested' to 'I'm just here because my parents made me' ( also a teenager). He did a great job of engaging us all, knowing who to share more specific details with, and who to just chit chat with. This was wonderful and worth every single penny.
Nina_R, Mar 2026
Very informative and interesting. Our guide Lucile was fantastic and entertaining.
Made our trip extra special.
Latrelle_C, Mar 2026
Wonderful tour guide Lucile who was very knowledgeable about WW2 history! She made it come alive with all the stories she told of all the countries/people involved! We saw the American Cemetery, Point de Hoc, Omaha Beach, had a wonderful lunch of galettes from Creperie de Formigny and toured the amazing History museum Overlord Museum! What a day learning so much!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Latrelle,
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you had such a meaningful and memorable experience exploring the Normandy D-Day sites with Lucile.
Lucile is indeed passionate about WWII history, and it’s wonderful to know that her storytelling helped bring the events and the people involved to life for you. The American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the Overlord Museum are truly powerful places, and we’re glad you enjoyed discovering them together — along with a well-deserved lunch stop in the countryside.
It was a pleasure organizing this day for you, and we hope to welcome you again for another experience in France.
Warm regards,

Comfortable van ride to the Normandy D-Day sites and cemetery. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about not only the sites we visited but additional French and European history relevant to the region. Our guide even pointed out sites in Paris while headed out of and back into the city; also providing some recommendations and site-seeing tips. We learned so much about the D-Day sites; it was exactly what we wanted. Our guide also selected a wonderful lunch in a small seaside town near the battlefields.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Victor,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your journey to the Normandy D-Day sites.
It’s wonderful to know that your guide’s knowledge helped bring not only the history of the battlefields to life, but also the broader French and European context. We’re also glad you appreciated the insights about Paris along the way and the sightseeing tips for the rest of your stay.
A stop for lunch in one of Normandy’s charming seaside towns is always a special moment during the day, and we’re happy it added to the experience.
Thank you again for your kind words. It was a pleasure organizing this tour for you, and we hope to welcome you again on another PARISMATIC Tour experience in France.

Full day tour, starting with a 7am pickup at our door. Herve, our driver & guide was absolutely wonderful. So brilliant on the Normany history and all the related facts. He made the day so enjoyable! Would absolutely recommend him. He brought us to a wonderful local restaurant in one of the fishing villages for lunch. Dropped back off at our address by 7pm.
Sylvia_S, Dec 2025
What a great day with an amazingly knowledgeable guide There is a lot to see so hard to cover in a day but it gives you the feeling of making another trip to take in more of the area
dougkip1988, Nov 2025
This was a beautiful experience. A trip for all patriotic people and historians. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a long day and we went mid-November. So it was cold and rained most of the time. So keep that in mind.
Response from Host, Nov 2025

We hope to welcome you again soon!
Kindly,
Fred

Absolutely amazing, personal experience. Our tour guide Fabrice was phenomenal and took us to all of the best locations in Normandy. His inside knowledge allowed us to see the sites unimpeded by bus and river cruise tourists. It made the powerful day that much more moving. I would recommend to anyone wanting to tour Normandy.
Janet_G, Oct 2025
Normandy is a special place
to see . Worth the time and effort . The tour guide was wonderful . Seeing on tv doesnt
do it justice .
Jessica_A, Oct 2025
Great way to see a little bit of alot of different sites. Since this is about 3 hours from paris, it was great to have the private car and driver too. Very knowledgeable and its very profound seeing the beauty of the area vs what went on there.
Anita_M, Oct 2025
It is a long day trip for sure, but just enjoy the ride in the French countryside.
We saw all the important parts of more than these, battlefields, cemetery, etc. Well worth the trip.
Nap_D, Oct 2025
A lot to discover and digest. Ryan had the day planned perfectly and was sensitive to the interests of the group.
The day was one to remember
