Excellent way to see Normandie from Paris in one day. Easy pickup and great to see Utah, Omaha, Point du Hoc and American cemetery. Scott was a wonderful guide today. Appreciate his insights. Enjoyed the Utah museum. Lunch was excellent. Would have liked to see St Mere Eglise since we passed close to it. But again great tour all around. Liked the small size. Only other recommendation would be to bring some visuals to show images of beach in 1944. Highly recommended and enjoyed.

Steve was great. Super knowledgeable, great driver and he helped us get a ceremony for our uncle who dies near Omaha beach at the American cemetery. We didn’t even know that was an option! Would 100% recommend

Steve is fantastic and offers tours at many attractions. We booked the D-Day Tour. It was unbelievably life changing. He made history come alive. This was by far the best part of our trip and the best value. Book with Steve. You will not be disappointed. Professional, kind and took great care of us!!!!

Steve, was a fountain of knowledge, so well informed. Congenial, so knowledgeable, I recommend this tour It’s a long day but well worth it, we walked the beach, toured German bunkers, museum, the American Cemetery, was a powerful day

Our guide Zoltan did a great job throughout the day. It was disappointing to find out when we arrived for the tour that we had been attached to another tour group/company than who we had booked with. This made our small group tour considerably larger and after chatting with others on the tour we discovered we had paid substantially more for the same experience as everyone else. I would probably suggest that if the tour company can’t fulfill the booking and attach you to another company they should refund the difference in price. If your meeting point changes it is likely you are touring with a different company to this one that you are booking.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand your disappointment, and I’d like to clarify the situation for you and for future guests reading this.
On the day of your tour, only two guests were booked with me. Rather than cancelling and leaving you without the Normandy experience you had planned, I arranged for you to join another operator’s small-group tour at the same departure time. This way, you could still enjoy the itinerary without disruption.
I do not make any financial gain when I transfer guests in this way — my intention was only to avoid a cancellation and ensure you could visit the D-Day sites. Regarding the ticket price differences you noticed, I unfortunately have no control over other companies’ pricing policies, promotions, or inclusions (such as whether lunch is provided).
As for group size, the partner agency confirmed it was operated as a small group, which is why I chose them as the best alternative.
I appreciate your understanding, and I truly hope you enjoyed the guide’s work and the powerful history of Normandy. Thank you again for traveling with us.

Very disappointed. Came from the other side of the world to visit Normandy.
Only to have my tour/reservation cancelled with only 24 hours notice. Left me with no other options when also including the strike action. I’d waited years to realise this dream. 😩
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We’re sorry for the disappointment caused. The tour had to be cancelled due to the national strike, which created major disruptions and last-minute cancellations. With only one participant left, it was unfortunately not possible to operate. This was an exceptional circumstance beyond our control, and we remain available to arrange the same itinerary on another date if possible.
Please contact me if you are available.

Steve was professional and knowledgable. My husband was very pleased with the stops.
I especially appreciate him going out of his way to accommodate an unexpected need to make a stop to find facilities for me.
Timothy_C, Jul 2025
Excellent. Great experience. Moving experience. The guide was very informative and accommodating. Top rate
Amy_A, Jul 2025
Ryan, our guide, was a great educator during our day long tour. He used our travel time from Paris to Normandy to clarify what we desired to see/do & to share historical information. He was always eager to answer our questions. Ryan was also eager to learn from us as well. I would definitely recommend him!
Leza_T, Jul 2025
Steve, our guide, was AMAZING!!!! Hands down!! Perfection. Extremely knowledgeable in all facets and very professional and knowledgeable. He made it both memorable and entertaining for us both. Coming back to do more! Steve is the one to see Paris, Normandy, Versailles, and everything else!!! Till next trip! More exploration and experiences!
Karen_H, Jun 2025
Steve really knew what he was talking about and was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour as it hit all the highlights. Lunch was great as well. I’d give him 19 stars if that was an option.

Exceptional Guide, Unforgettable Journey: A Perfect Normandy Tour from Paris
We recently took a guided tour from Paris to Normandy, and what truly elevated the experience from excellent to extraordinary was our incredible tour guide, Steve. From start to finish, his knowledge, professionalism, and passion about the history made it a memorable experience.
Maureen_M, Jun 2025
A memorable day. Steve was very informative and entertaining The lunch was delicious too
Aaaabbbcccc
Catherine_G, Jun 2025
Long day but totally worth it. Super comfortable travel to see beaches of D-Day landing and the American cemetery. Steve was a great guide.
Douglas_K, May 2025
First I recommend the tour guide Steve, who was knowledgeable and professional. His route included Utah Beach, which I understand a lot of tours skip, and also gave us ample time for pictures. The lunch was excellent, too. I came away glad this is the tour I chose, and I recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the invasion sites and pay their respects at the US cemetery.
jet_j, May 2025
First and foremost, Steve coordinated everything beautifully keeping us in the loop. It appears that we, along with another couple, were attached to another tour group for the trip to Normandy. I was under the impression that our tour was to be with a smaller group, not the 20 or so we actually had. Especially since we paid $594 for the tour.
Zoltan, our tour guide, did a very good job of presenting the facts and guiding us around Normandy.
Traci_B, Apr 2025
This trip to Normandy was everything I hoped it would be. Stephen is lovely and funny and so knowledgeable and informative. Being able to visit both Omaha and Utah Beaches and Point du Hoc and a museum and lunch at local brasserie made it feel like we got the absolute most out of the day. The van was super comfortable. Bring more water than you think because there is no where to buy in first part of trip. Wonderful tour and definitely recommend.
karen_f, Apr 2025
Steve was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us both information and interesting stories about each stop. He was very helpful to family members who needed extra time to move around. Overall the tour and his services were excellent.
Sophia_P, Feb 2025
Our guide was amazing and extremely accommodating! His knowledge was vast and mentioned key facts to the sites we visited. We were extremely pleased with the tour. Was not too extremousy. From start to finish, our trip was impactful and was very moving. I highly recommend this tour
Roxanne_S, Feb 2025
Great tour- so much information presented- we had a lovely day trip - we were not rushed - very accommodating to our needs and wants.
John_R, Feb 2025
This was a truly fantastic tour with an excellent guide! Steve was extremely knowledgeable and ensured we did not miss any of the important sights. It was a very full day, but nothing about the tour felt rushed. I could not recommend this tour more highly!
Tammy_i, Feb 2025
Our experience was amazing. Steve was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. I had found out my uncle was lost during the war and his name was on the wall of the missing. Steve called ahead and arranged a small ceremony for me and my husband. That was a cherished moment I had for my family. Steve stayed and videoed the entire ceremony so I could be in the moment.
If you are on the fence about this tour, let me help in your decision and book with Steve. He not only created a cherished moment for me but taught us all about the area as we were seeing it first hand. What a great experience and a highlight of our Paris trip.

Having a tour guide really relieved the Stress on having to drive from Paris to Normandy, and to make the return. We went in November There weren’t a lot of people requesting Normandy tours as a result we got a private tour with Steve. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of events that took place in Normandy during World War 2. We saw so much in one day it was incredible. Also we also had a fantastic lunch at a local restaurant.
Patricia_P, Oct 2024
Steve was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He was at our arrival meeting spot early so we set out right away. He gave us information that helped us get an informed visit to all of our sites. Steve was very personable and let us set our time as needed. We all had a memorable experience.
Janis_C, Aug 2024
Steve was absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who goes and I would use him and no one else! He went above and beyond to help us with our tour.
Normandy itself is so sobering in itself and Steve was so knowledgeable on the historical facts.
Give this a 10 with Steve!!
