If you must see Juno Beach and time is of the essence, look at this tour. - My brother was visiting me in France and something of this nature was on his want-to-do list. As we were travelling in early-December it was not easy to find anyone still running a tour, especially for a very small group from Paris. We inquired with Regis and he was able to accommodate us. We were both very excited despite the prospect of the very long day and unpredictable weather at the coast. In totality, I don't think we could have asked for a better day. Regis is friendly and personable, imparts a lot of knowledge at key times, and manages conversation well. It felt as if we had made a new friend rather than listening to a guide. We were able to stop for the restroom and prep in case our lunch restaurant may be closed (not uncommon in the low season). We ended up having a great lunch at said restaurant anyway, and with an appropriate amount of time for a main plate and a drink. For us, Regis managed time at each stop appropriately (otherwise it would have been an unreasonably long day) and also took photos for us for Airdrop at the end of the day. The fee is like anything else, you make of it what you will; it is possible to pay by card but cash was just as easy for us. It is possible to do this journey by train and shuttle but you will do it with everyone else without the benefit of Regis as a guide. This activity was a priority for us so it was worth the fee, and Regis certainly delivered. However, remember that this is a single day tour from Paris and back; if you feel you will want more time to explore places other than what's on this itinerary you definitely want to plan at least one overnight stay. I would not hesitate to book another tour with Regis and Adrian Roads if I return to France. My only recommendation would be to read his website and book there as it saves booking fees for him and may be more flexible for you and your group size. In the end, when coupled with the chance to travel with my brother, I gained core memories. Thank you Regis!

This was a great trip and... - This was a great trip and the guide was really good. It was very expensive compared to the American tours ( not sure why) It was a very long day ( 13 plus hours)and some of the places we did not have time to visit. Woud suggest that you stay in the area and have the time necessary to experience everything. If you want the highlight of Normandy in one day then this is the trip to book.

What a fabulous day! - Our driver and guide Adrian was so knowledgeable and easy to be with all day! We learned more about Canada’s role in WW2 and allies through this tour than any other source. Adrian had so many interesting stories to share that made all that we saw and heard that much more interesting. Highly recommended!

A wonderfully historic experience! - Our son is a big fan of history and has been particularly interested in WWII. When we decided to go to Paris, we knew we had to make the effort to get to Juno beach, so that he could experience what it might have been like during the war. Rėgis did not disappoint. We learned so much and loved every minute of the day.

Full day with a super knowledgeable and friendly guide - We took this trip in October. The day was amazing. Regis went out of his way to make sure that the our experience was as good as it gets. This is a very full day and as a Canadian really helped to give me a tiny glimpse of what the scope was of the Juno beach landing and weeks to come. Regis is a wealth of knowledge and we will be coming back to take one of his other tours for sure. Thanks Regis. Derek and Emily.

A memorable visit - This was a thoroughly enjoyable, extremely informative tour. Regis, our guide, is a pleasant host and very knowledgeable guide, able to point out many fascinating details about the important role played by Canadian forces in the invasion of Normandy. It is a long day, to be sure, but it is a 3 hour drive from Paris to the English Channel. All Canadians would benefit from this tour and it would no doubt make them feel as proud as we were. I can't recommend this tour highly enough

Canadians in Normandy D-Day Tour - Amazing tour for any North American who has not seen the beaches that landed troops for the liberation of Europe. Adrian Roads tour company supplied everything mentioned in the tour description and Regis had a thorough knowledge of the area toured. He answered our many questions about the battles on landing day and the lives lost by both the allied and German forces . We will return to Canada with a greater appreciation and understanding of the sacrifice our Allied forces made to liberate Europe.

Excellent Tour - We spent an incredibly moving day with our guide, Rėgis. His outstanding knowledge and his ability to share information in a meaningful way is remarkable - and enjoyable. This wasn’t a history class lecture. It was interesting, stimulating and moving. We went to Pegasus Bridge, the Canadian cemetery, Canada House, the Juno Beach Centre (where among other exhibits, an outstanding short film plays) and at the Ardennes Abbey. The last stop has to be experienced by everyone.

It's always the little things that make the difference ..... - The cool cafe. Strong booze. DD tank to the bottom but back up again. The bunker tour from a Jets fan. Tears, heartbreak and an appreciation of sacrifice.
