Normandy day trip you don’t want to miss. - Daniel was an awesome tour guide. He was very knowledgable during the trip to Normandy, great historical info given at each site with personal anecdotes. We have been on many tours during our trips to Europe and he was the most engaging, kept the large group we had on time to each stop, and not once did we ever feel rushed (sometimes these long day trips can feel like your being herd like cattle to pack in the most things to see all at once). Would definitely recommend this trip AND Daniel as the tour guide! Thanks for a lovely trip.

Great Tour - My husband and I did this tour on our trip to France and it was amazing! This tour was perfect because we got to see the highlights of the Normandy D-Day sites in one day. It was very moving and truly a highlight of our trip. Daniel was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much history and background about D-Day and the events leading up to it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who doesn’t have a lot of time in France but still wants to experience Normandy!!

A breathtaking, inspiring, and humbling experience - Seeing the beaches of Normandy and getting a glimpse of what the brave men went through on D-Day has long been a dream of mine. I am so happy that went with City Wonders to see that dream become reality! Our tour guide, Daniel, was an expert in explaining the differences in each beach, sharing specific stories from soldiers’ perspectives, and making the experience thoroughly entertaining. The only thing I wish is that I had more time! I would (and will) recommend City Wonders and Daniel to all my friends and family.

Well done long day - While it was a long day (departed about 6:50am, returned 8:15pm), it was well divided between driving & stops. Our time at stops was more than anticipated yet not too long. The museum at Utah beach had so much stuff to see/read it honestly became overwhelming. Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and approachable. He presented interesting information & stories throughout the day while not monopolizing the day. The lunch meal was not fabulous nor awful. Tips - wear waterproof hiking boots if weather has been wet & bring charging cords (our row of 2 had 1 usb & 1 usc port).

Excellent guide - It was an amazing experience to visit the D-Day landing spots at Utah and Omaha Beaches, and going to the American cemetery was deeply moving. City Wonders made it easy to see all of the important spots in a one-day trip from Paris. Daniel was an excellent guide who entertained us during the long bus trip and added expert context that made what we saw that much more meaningful. He was very easy to communicate with and even offered individualized advice for all of the guests about tips on their trip to Paris. I would highly recommend this trip and Daniel as guide.
