Traveler reviews
Excellent D-Day Experience
Our guide Fabrice was exceptional: so historically knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I will recommend him to everyone who wants to take this tour. The tour itself was fascinating, it was almost surreal to be on the D-Day beaches, such a big moment in American history.
Personal, moving and memorable
Driver was very helpful and provided excellent commentary throughout the excursion. The small group tour is the way to go@
Great Day at Normandy!
We loved our day at Normandy. Regis did a wonderful job of getting us to our points of interest. We saw so many things, ate at a tasty restaurant and learned so much.
Fabulous trip!
Our trip to Normandy met all our expectations, especially due to our knowledgeable tour guide Nicholas. He was so informed and warm and friendly. It was a 3 hour drive and we felt safe with his driving skills the entire way. We also stopped for a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour
