Fabulous tour to Normandy/Omaha with teens! - This trip should be on everyone’s Paris itinerary! So worth the time and cost and our guide Mr John Baptiste was excellent. He had the knowledge base you would expect for a tour like this. The small group feel was so much better and we were glad we opted for that vs a 30+ tour. He talked history during portions of the car ride out, and gave us plenty of info and time to explore each stop. I’ll add my husband was recovering from a leg injury and he and the tour were very accommodating and we were able to bring his crutches along for the day. The van setup was also very comfortable. It’s a larger van with 2x2x3 setup in the back and if you had an 8th attendee one would sit in the front seat. The driver/guide are the same person!! Van had umbrellas we used at one stop! Also I had great viator communications and was told in advance the meeting point for our tour was at a cafe that opens 6am, so you have time to get there ahead of the 645 arrival meet time and sit down for coffee and pastries which we did. We also stopped at a nice rest stop on both legs of the trip for restrooms and food. HIGHLY recommend this tour! It’s a long day but it didn’t feel long and we got a lot out of it. I will say we were there over Easter week and the tour crowds were low, I can’t imagine how busy all the stops would be in peak summer travel season. The quieter nature was appreciated during our visit timeframe

Great experience on the day trip to Normandy! - We had a truly outstanding experience on this tour. Our guide Julien was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and he did great with our curious 12 year old. We loved the small tour size - it was really nice to all be in a van and to have such an easy way to get around. The lunch was also perfect. I would recommend this to anyone looking to take a (long) day trip to see Normandy.

Great Day Trip from Paris - Incredible experience seeing one of the most important battle sites of modern history. The tour captured our three "musts": Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and the American cemetery. All of which was capped off with fantastic food (duck breast and fries) and the cider tasting. Antoine was an excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommend!

Trip highlight - Incredibly moving experience. I went with my college-age son, and our guide was Julian. Small group of 8. Van was nice. Julian was amazing. So many interesting stories and really established the context of the places. I don't think you could do this very easily without a guided trip like this one. We had great weather, but be prepared because it would be tough in cold, rain, wind, hot.... I was worried about not booking the "right" tour since I don't know a lot about the area or museums. This Is the RIGHT tour and includes everything you want to see. Long day but a trip highlight.

Full day Normandy tour - Antwan was our guide and so amazing! He was so attentive to our groups needs! He was extremely well versed in WW2 history and taught us so much! He never rushed us at each location and provided flexible options! The tour itself was amazing. The cider tasting was neat and we bought some apple products! I had heard about taps being played as the flags are lowered, at the American Cemetery, and asked if we could see that, so he just adjusted our day, so that we could catch that very special ceremony. He was just amazing. We went in mid March, and it was cold near the coast, so bring hat, gloves and scarf, and/or dress accordingly We took the private tour with max 8 people to Omaha Beach, Pointe Du Hoc, American Cemetery, Cider testing and German bunkers and Overlord museum. It was a full day tour. Lunch at DDay cafe was great! Overall, it was amazing and I highly recommend!

Do not miss this tour! Highly recommend seeing this piece of history! Excellent tour guide - Julian - This was an amazing tour. Highly recommend. Our guide Julian was incredible. You could tell that Julian was very into history and had a lot of knowledge about Normandy, the war and all the different stops on the tour. Julian was upbeat, knowledgeable, answered questions, he kept the group on track- Julian made this tour! It was a very sad, emotional tour but Julian really explained a lot about each stop. The city of Normandy did a fantastic job of preserving and honoring this horrible day in history. They showed and continue to show great respect in honoring these men and women from this terrible day. JB from the tour company also put us with a great group of people. They had great questions, we all got along and had a lot of laughs during the drive and lunch. Highly recommend this tour. If you are in this area, history buff or not - Normandy is something to see in a lifetime and to pay respects to the men and women that fought/died in this war. Request Julian - he was awesome. He also played various radio audio clips from this time period that made you feel like you were there. A perfect touch to this tour. Don't miss this tour!

Not enough historical information during tour! - We had thought there would be much more information and historical context. It’s a three hour drive from Paris but during that time the guide just drove. Wasted opportunity! More information could have made such a difference in the tour.
