Didn't know what to expect but came away from the tour with a deeper understanding of the invasion - Extraordinarily knowledgeable guide. Provided an outstanding understanding of what my grandfather faced on D-Day, giving me much more appreciation for his sacrifice and service.

Perfect half day tour of the important sites - A knowledgeable tour guide, not driving, and having visual aids to help her describe the battle zones-brought history to life.

America's Undeniable Sacrifice - I learned a lot about the D-Day invasion. Our guide, Lauren, knew a great deal about WWII and talked with us constantly from the time we got in the vehicle until our tour was over. I would have appreciated hearing about how the people of the area dealt with occupation and what their response was when June 6th arrived. This would add some humanity to the presentation. She was well organized, and functioning on a timeline that didn't allow for conversation with her or between clients. Remember kindness counts!

Enlightening and Emotional Tour - A very enlightening tour. Igor is a wonderful guide who speaks very good English and has a passion for the history of the Normandy area which he imparts in a clear and concise way. He's ready to answer all questions and engage in interesting discussions. Highly recommended

Great for those with limited time. - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Time constraints for those wanting greater depth but I’m sure those wanting more depth will sign up for same guide for full day.

Half day tour was worth every penny - Our guide was energetic and thorough. Answered every question we could think of and was flexible when lines were long for important views. Worth every penny to have someone explain the historical significance and some backstory.

Meaningful, Memorable Tour - We had such a memorable and meaningful time with our group and tour guide, Victor. I was able to bring my 17-month-old toddler along, and they provided a car seat, as well as a booster seat for my 7-year-old. Victor was very patient and understanding with the children.
There is no end to Victor’s knowledge about WWII and DDay. He was filled with incredible facts and stories.
The van was also comfortable and clean.
I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Wonderful Tour - Adrien was a wonderful host. Adrien grew up in Normandy. His great grandfather was taken prisoner during WW2 and brought to Spain. The events of June 1944 are near and dear to his heart and you can tell he really cares. He is witty and funny. To truly understand the stories and what happened you need to do a tour. We were running late from Paris and they couldn't have been nicer. We highly recommend Adrien and this tour.

Highly recommended! - I can HIGHLY recommend The Golden Beach Company.
First of all, a few days in advance of our tour they send me a text message including a screenshot of their booking information to let me know that it looked as if I had made a double booking. Which I had, but due to their attentiveness I could in due time cancel one of the bookings.
The actual tour was really good. We had a great day with Adrian who was very knowledgeable, super engaged, friendly and with a good sense of humor.
We chose the 1/2 day tour which was adequate for our family as there is so much information and many impressions to digest.
Unfortunately I forgot my purse in the glove compartment in the van. I texted the office and got a fast response although it was after working hours. Delphine promised to check the car first thing in the morning and text me when she found the purse. Which she did and I could go and pick it up.
So, all in all a very attentive and reliable company with high level of service and super guides! 🤩
