Must see the American Cemetery - This is a very moving and emotional excursion. The memorial takes your breath away. Dress for the weather. It was quite windy and cold. Our guide Monique and our driver Thierry were amazing.

Memorable Day in Normandy - We arrived on the Viking Jupiter. They offered a Normandy tour but we decided to splurge and get the private tour instead. There we six of us and the money spent was well worth it. Our driver was right on time, very friendly and knowledgeable. We picked up our guide near our first destination of Pointe Du Hoc. He was just great. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I am slowed down by bad knees and our guide went out of his way to make sure I was able to keep up and stay involved along the way. I really appreciated his effort. He also made arrangements for us to stop in at a nice restaurant fora french lunch and guided us through the menu selections , ordering and payment at the end which was not only very helpful but it saved us more time for our tour visits. While at the American Cemetery, we saw the Viking tour unloading their 50-some passengers off of the bus. We were all in agreement that booking the Viator tour was a smart decision. One suggestion, it yeah you almost have to cause you get once you’re out there you’re stuck, but the wind supposed to be yesterday. We were out there quite a hawk and it was cold and windy but then by the time we got to Omaha Beach and then the sun came out. It was just beautiful how we started when the driver showed up. We started start raining on us. It’s gonna be rain all day walking stick. I took the Viking umbrella and use that as that way I was covered either waywould have been to to use the VOX system while walking around. Especially at the American cemetery where they ask you to keep your voices down a bit. Highly recommend this tour.

Not to miss. - Sunny put together a great tour of Normandy and articulated the History of WWII with the backdrop of how the architecture played a role in the war. She was very good.

Great tour worth every penny - Our driver Thierry picked us up on time and took us to meet with our tour Guide. Anne Sophie was our tour guide and after talking to us customized a tour that would take us to see everything we wanted. She was very knowledgeable and we left feeling that our day was well spent learning about Normandy in a way we didn’t before. Thierry was a great driver and even though he didn’t speak English we managed to communicate quite well.

VERY disappointed. Guide was 'distracted' at best (hungover at worst). - VERY disappointed. Our driver (who was quite pleasant) spoke minimal English. We had to drive an hour to pick up our guide (Philip), who was late and appeared a bit hungover (he noted he had "stayed up a bit late celebrating a friends birthday" the night before, and we must say it showed). When we had his attention he appeared knowledgeable and answered all our questions, but he frequently just engaged in French with our driver or did not talk at all. When we got the American Cemetery, he gave us some insight and a general description of the layout, then gave us 45 mounts to "explore on our own" and headed off to find someplace to vape. For the price we paid, we expected that he would've stayed with us as we strolled the grounds to answer questions rather than telling us that we could "ask me any questions when we get back together". This same strategy was repeated at our last stop as well (Pointe du Hoc). So... while we paid for 6 hours of his time, we really got about half that. Then we dropped him off near his home and drove back the hour to our ship (actually hour plus due to traffic, but this is not the fault of the tour company or our driver). Overall, as noted in our opening, we were VERY disappointed and cannot recommend this tour or tour company.

Visitor did NOT give us what we paid for. - I asked for a driver/ guide who could discuss the History of the area and of the Normandy invasion with us. Our driver was a nice young man but he did not say much at all. We paid a lot of money for this personal driving tour and we did not get what we requested of Viator nor what we expected. We had requested a driver who knew the History and we did not get what we wanted. James Resnick
