Our guide Alexandra was incredible - super knowledgeable but also warm and personal - Our guide Alexandra was incredible - super knowledgeable but also warm and personal. She didn’t just walk us through history, she made us feel it. The visit to the Caen Memorial really set the tone, and then Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and the American Cemetery were just... powerful.

Highly recommend this experience if...Highly recommend this experience if you're in Paris and want to do something truly - Hands down one of the most meaningful days we’ve had in France. We booked the private Normandy tour with Tour Up in Europe, and it exceeded every expectation.

Worth the Drive - Took this as a day trip from Paris, it’s a long ride, but completely worth it. The history feels so different when you’re standing right on those beaches. Learned a lot, felt a lot, and so glad we made the time.

Very Special Day - We did this tour with friends, and for me it was especially meaningful, my grandfather served in WW2, so being on those beaches felt personal. The drive from Paris was easy, everything was smooth, and our guide made the history feel alive and human. A heavy day, but truly worth it.

I didn’t expect to be so moved myself. - My dad’s always been into WWII history, so I booked this as a surprise for him. He was glued to every word the guide said. It was honestly emotional for both of us.

Emotional and historical - That was very moving. It’s tough period that should be learnt. These places should be visited. And the best way to do it with a guide who we help you around. Private transportation also guaranteed that we were following the route that we chose. Recommend it to everyone!

Historic Visit - We had a wonderful trip to Omaha Beach, a museum and the American Cemetery. I had been wanting to visit mainly due to the historical significance. Valerie was a wonderful guide, sharing the history of the area. Our driver, Roman, was also very helpful.
