Sarah Valentin was a very...

Rina_C, Jul 2025

Sarah Valentin was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. She is really passionate about the D-Day history and strategy and knew all the little details. I have mobility issues and in planning the itinerary she factored this in so that we could still maximize the sites. She also factored in the tides so that we could see Omaha Beach at low tide as well as the ceremony taking down the flag at the American cemetery at 4:00. We lucked out that we could see both. My husband is a WW2 nut and the two of them eagerly shared information. Highly recommend Sarah!

Exactly what we wanted! Very memorable day!

Heather_G, Apr 2025

Every detail of our day was well planned and exactly what we wanted. Sarah customized our day by the tides to maximize what we could see at the beaches and was flexible with our stops based on what we were interested in. Our 21 year old daughter really enjoyed Sarah’s detailed historical knowledge, as did we. We are honored to spend our day seeing these important sites of world history.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so much Heather for taking the time to leave an excellent review of the visit I organized for you, your husband and your lovely, attentive daughter. I'm glad that, at the end of the day, I was able to give you as much detail as possible about D-Day and that you were able to appreciate the courage of these young soldiers who sacrificed themselves to liberate our countries and defend their homeland. In these troubled times, we must continue to honor these soldiers buried on our soil and so far from their families. We must ensure that our duty to remember lives on for future generations.

Exceptional experience

Sandra_M, Aug 2024

Seeing everything that we had read so much about was wonderful. Our guide Sarah was incredible! Her knowledge,explanations and all the visuals she provided were exceptional. We highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hello Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to leave an excellent comment about your appreciation of my work, which I always try to improve every day by keeping informed of book or film releases relating to the Second World War in general. I had an excellent day with you and I would have liked to go much deeper into certain aspects if we had had the opportunity to spend more time together. I wish you a happy end to your stay in France and hope you continue your journey in other parts of Europe. perhaps we'll meet again in Michigan, as it's a state that's on my bucket list. Take care. Sarah, your local Normandy guide.

So much packed into our day!!!

Aimee_B, Sep 2023

Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. Our party of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) were able to see the American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and Utah Brach, with a fantastic lunch thrown in. We never would have made it to all those sights on our own. Our whole party learned so much. And enjoyed getting to know Sarah's personal connection to French History. Highly Recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Aimee, , Thank you so much for this great review about my work! I'm so glad you had a lovely day with me and you enjoyed a lot your lunch in that special place! Your family gave me the gift of so many good feelings and your children were fantastic! Thank you for your feedback. It's the best reward a guide can receive! Fondly, Sarah

Don't look anywhere else--this tour is worth every penny!

Jennifer_H, Nov 2022

Sarah was every history lover's dream! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Her thorough and detailed knowledge of both the D-Day Landings and the events of WWII as a whole are beyond compare. She went out of her way to fit a 2-3 day tour into the 9 hours we had. Even above her knowledge and professionalism, Sarah took such good care of us, texting with us in advance of our tour and helping us to arrange for dinner and taxi back to the station before our return train trip to Paris. By the time we got to Bayeax, I was quite frazzled because not only had our group tour (thru another Viator affiliate tour company) been cancelled twice, but Viator had also cancelled our private tour (for reasons no one could ever figure out). But Sarah assured me that she was expecting us and we would sort it all out later. (Viator finally confirmed that this private tour company had not inititated the cancel and then "un-cancelled" us.) Sarah was a rock--hospitable, professional and caring!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you Jennifer for this excellent rating. it is very important for me to have feedback on my work and the quality of my interactions. Indeed, it took a long time for us to coordinate but it was worth it. I really enjoyed your company and was very moved by your family history. the presence of your daddy honored me a lot. I wish you all the best for your beautiful family.

Loved our guide and would recommend her to anyone. She was very informative and a lot of fun. Thank you for a great experience

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you Michael for taking the time to give your review and for appreciating the quality of my work. I am very happy that you enjoyed your visit, even though it had to be done in less time. Hope you had a safe return after your dinner in Bayeux !

Our tour guide was excellent and she brought history to life with her vast knowledge

Thomas_A, Sep 2022

Traveling with friends and family while learning about the history. We enjoyed it wholeheartedly! We especially enjoyed our guide’s personal connection to the local history.

Amazing D-Day Tour

Kirsten_O, Jul 2022

Sarah was an amazing guide. Her knowledge of WWII events and D-Day was impressive. She also went out of her way to show local connection and connections to us in the places we visited. Could have done 2-3 days with her. Will do additional days next time. Merci Sarah

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Kirsten, It was such a joy to meet you and your nice family!! I’m very happy that everyone enjoyed that day and I thank you for your kind attitude and your appreciation of my job!! I hope to see you again in Normandy to share many more local connections and to show you hidden gems. Sincerely, Sarah
