    The trip was amazing and our tour guide was knowledgeable. I wish there was more time for Omaha. It was nice to go and reflect on all that happened at Normandie.

    Apart from a long bus ride, the trip to DDay beaches was not to be missed. Our guide Amalie,was fascinating and very informative. She knew everything. The American cemetery was absolutely the top stop. It was breathtakingly sad and haunting but beautiful. The beaches were awe inspiring. Go.

    Excellent tour! Our guide Leila was informative and interesting. Our driver - Jack - was patient and skilled. A tour everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.

    Chris was very knowledgeable and the trip as a whole was a great experience. It was very nice to see the French countryside on the way there. The rest stop also helped make the drive seem quicker. The lunch and Arromanches was top notch. Walking on the beaches was a surreal experience. Definitely recommend for any history buff! Not for the faint of heart though, this tour runs all day and you will be tires at the end but it was very much worth it.

    Our guide Layla was excellent! She shared a lot of information as we took the bus to Normandy. She was friendly and answered questions. Very good trip I would highly recommend. A must for anyone interested in ww2 history.

    My husband and I LOVED this tour! The drive through the French countryside is to die for and our guide was so personable and knowledgeable. This would have been impossible or, at least, overwhelming to do on our own. The bus transportation was fantastic and we were able to get to the hotel easily via the metro. Also, the itinerary doesn’t mention where food will be made available specifically but there are lots of food and bathroom stops. Can’t recommend this enough! Pack warmly in the winter. Buses have charging ports too.

    Layla was our tour guide and she was so fantastic. She was knowledgeable and very pleasant! This was a wonderful way to see Normandy. It was the perfect amount of time at each stop. It’s expensive but I just can’t see a better way to do it. It’s worth the money.
