Traveller Tips

Having a local guide and a small group allows you to see things larger groups do not.

This tour fills a long day but is entirely worthwhile.

It is a long day on this tour (about 13 1/2 hours for our day) but well worth the trip.

Comprehensive DDay experience all in one day, convenient travel from Paris

Alayne_V, Mar 2023

This was my second visit to most of the places we visited on this tour, but I still learned more about D Day. I brought two friends with me this time, and we had some great moments. Guillaume was an especially wonderful guide.

Great Tour Guide

apf2, Mar 2023

Our tour guide was wonderful. He knew so much about the area and about D-Day. He made it a very enjoyable experience. He had a passion for giving tours and it showed. He also was very patient and kind to a senior citizen in our group that struggled with mobility that we really appreciated.

Wonderful

Normandy/ D-Day Experience

Douglas_H, Mar 2023

Experiencing and standing in the actual sites where so much important history occurred made this trip very memorable. It was very memorable since my father landed here in World War II some 75 years ago! The cemetery was very impressive. Our guide, Sarah, was very knowledgeable and kind!

Great guide. The best ever. Great tour great day. Would recommend this to everyone. Could have had more time at the cemetery.

A moving experience and well worth the trip.

Laura_O, Mar 2023

Our tour guide, Ryan, was incredible! The cemetery and walk on Omaha Beach was a moving experience. Seeing the bunkers and guns and imagining the what happened all those years ago gave us a lot to think about. Also, seeing the craters caused by the bombs dropping was mind boggling.

Do this trip! Worth the price and time!!

Kelly_H, Mar 2023

This was the best tour I’ve taken. It was a long, action packed day! But that’s how I prefer it. The guide, James, was knowledgeable and accommodating at every site. He went the extra mile for sure.

Needs to be seen

Josh_H, Mar 2023

Being in a small group made the trip so much more worth it. There was a lot more flexibility which made the trip so much more personal. We got to know our guide and the other 4 people really well. The sights were of course amazing to see and a must see in your lifetime. I would recommend this trip to anyone coming to Paris

Would definitely recommend !

Great day trip from Paris

Kathy_G, Feb 2023

Great option if departing from Paris. It fits all the important items I to one day. The stop at the Overlord Museum was excellent. The historical descriptions and narrative is is not the focus, but you’ll see everything you may want on a convenient trip. The guide was very pleasant.

We had a great guide. He spent the perfect amount of time describing the places and then giving free time to explore. We went in February and with the wind, it was cold! This is worth going and experiencing.
