Excellent guide, Victor. Lots of information and places to see in a half day tour of the American cemetery, Point du Hoc and Omaha beach.
The tour was great. Our guide victor was knowledgeable, interesting, and fun! Would recommend this tour
Our tour guide, Maggie, was fantastic, knowledgeable and professional, fun to tour with. Moving around in the van helped to cover much ground.
If you make it France this site is worth seeing, you are moved by the significance it holds and the freedoms we all enjoy at the sacrifice of so many lives. Thank you Matt for your excellent knowledge and care for humanity. .
It was a very moving experience. The level of sacrifice is unbelievable. Our guide Valentin was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He made the experience even better!
You will enrich your knowledge of what happened on d day. The guide gives you amazing insight and the details of the invasion
Pascal was so knowledgeable about the events of Normandy & WWII . We really enjoyed our afternoon with him.
Pascal was a wonderful tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting such a historical site.
Must do for any WWII fans. Guide was great and knowledgeable, and had the needed time to see the sites. Definitely recommend
We had a half day tour with Valentin. We enjoyed it very much as Valentin was extremely knowledgeable about the events that happened in Normandy. We highly recommend.
Wow! What an amazing tour! We took the half day tour because we were driving between Brittany and Paris but we all would have happily done a full day because the tour was fascinating. We drove around in sprinter vans with great ac which was much needed during the heatwave. Our guide was adorable and so knowledgeable - my children loved it! The cemetery was beautiful and I loved visiting Omaha beach.
Amazing tour of Historic day sites. Visiting Omaha beach and pont du hoc added so much dimension and depth. The American cemetery was stunningly beautiful. It was a nice opportunity to show respect. Our guide, Victor, was truly knowledgeable- full of facts and stories.
We had a lovely day with Anna. She was kind, thoughtful and so very professional. We appreciated learning the history and explanations of what all we were seeing. Anna was a tremendous guide!
A must do. Our guide Vincente was incredible with a passion for the subject which was contagious. It was a perfect lesson in history for both my son and I. The experience I would say is a must do, a once in a lifetime thing.
This trip was in early May 2026. Though the weather was very challenging due to wind and cold and some rain, our guide Valentin was full of energy for the whole tour and brought DDay to life for us as we toured the sites. He communicated his passion for and deep knowledge of this subject to all of us and created the lasting memory we were looking for.
Incredibly informative and engaging tour with Pascal. His diligent preparation and meticulus organization painted an incredible picture of what happened in Normandy on D-Day and made for a very thought-provoking tour.
Our 1½-day D-Day tour was one of the highlights of our trip to France. We visited the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and Omaha Beach, and every stop was both moving and unforgettable.
Victor was an outstanding guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history he was sharing. As a lifelong history buff, visiting Normandy has been on my bucket list since I was in high school back in the late 1970s. After all those years, having that dream finally come true exceeded every expectation.
Standing on Omaha Beach and walking the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc where the U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs brought history to life in a way no book or documentary ever could. Visiting the American Cemetery was an emotional experience that I'll never forget.
Victor's storytelling, historical insight, and ability to connect the events of June 6, 1944, with the places we were standing made the experience incredibly informative and memorable.
Rangers Lead the Way!
If you're considering a Normandy tour, don't hesitate. It was worth every minute and every penny, and Victor helped make a lifelong dream a reality.
Couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Our tour guide, Victor was wonderful! Victor had a great personality and was so informative about the d-day invasion and the history of the area. We thought we knew a lot of the history, but he shed light on so many things that we weren’t aware of. We had 5 in our tour and it was so personal. Even though we didn’t know each other at the start we all connected and Victor made that possible.
Lots of information was enthusiastically delivered, interesting context to what happened and why. Highly recommend
Matt was an outstanding guide - kind, knowledgeable and genuinely engaging. His passion for the history of D-Day made the experience unforgettable. We learned so much and came away with an even deeper respect for those who sacrificed to secure our freedom. The half-day tour was well-paced, active, and packed with fascinating information. By the end we felt we had gained a meaningful understanding. Truly this was one of the best tours in France for us. We highly recommend this tour with Matt.
Very informative and emotionally moving.
Matt was exceptional in his descriptions!
I would highly recommend him as a tour guide.
Super hot day but with the spacious van with AC and a great tour guide narrating the trip it was an amazing experience Theo clearly loves his job and the D Day topic and provided great stories and insight. Highly reccomend.
Excellent experience with a great guide. Pascal was very informative and entertaining. Thanks for a great afternoon exploring this important historical area.
Pascal was a fantastic guide! He was so knowledgeable and interesting! He made the whole tour so enjoyable 😉
I booked through coasttravel1216@yahoo.com
It truly brought home the experience that those soldiers endured!
This was an exceptional and well-planned tour of the American D-Day sites. Our tour guide Victor was excellent. He gave great explanations of each of the sites and was very friendly and funny as well. It was an amazing and moving experience, and I recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the D-Day sites!
This was a remarkable experience. A must do when you are in the Normandy area. Our guide Victor was so knowledgeable and told the history perfectly. The ceremony at the American Cemetary was very moving. It was a day we will remember. Thank you Victor for making it so special.
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!
Victor was knowledgeable and passionate about WWII. He was very friendly and speaks fluent English. Excellent tour!!
