- Lawrence was our tour guide to Normandy and he was fantastic. His grasp of the material was extensive and he was a gifted storyteller. His energy and compassion relaxed the group and made the 14 hours fun for all. Lunch was delicious, the coach was super comfortable and Sasha our driver was extremely competent. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience with family - We took the Normandy tour. Laurence is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. If I took another tour I would love to have him again! Took my almost 5 year old and she enjoyed running around at the stops but I would suggest bring a tablet/activity & snacks for the long bus ride back. Important note: the bus was a large coach bus with working air conditioning. Very comfortable for relaxing between stops. Thank you!

Top notch tour guide and wonderful tour experience with the family - Laurence was a wonderful tour guide. His heart is in what he does, and he did a fantastic job explaining the history as we traveled to Normandy. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Our two kids enjoyed it as well. The lunch restaurant was also wonderful and had a kid-friendly option.

TRIP TO NORMANDY - Comfortable trip in an AC coach. On time and informative. Laurence, our tour guide was knowledgeable and briefed us well about at Normandy. He was nice enough to also give us an insight into the past of Paris and places to visit.

No food or drinks allowed - After waking up super early (before hotel breakfast even opens), I waned to grab coffee or a muffin before the 3.5 hour bus journey. First of all, the meeting point is in a horrible location. It’s in front of a small church called Notre Dame, but when you google the name, a million notre dame churches come up in Paris. They should’ve said just meet across the street at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. In any event, I went to the Hyatt and grabbed some cold coffee and some croissants and the bus driver told me that no food or drinks are allowed. I read the fine print everywhere in my reservation and nowhere did it say that food is not permitted. I spent quite a bit of money on this food and had to throw everything away which did not make me happy. Plus, with two young kids, it didn’t make the journey pleasant. Our guide was very passionate and very informative. The trip was nice and a great educational experience. However, it’s an all day adventure that takes about 14 hours and most of it is sitting on a bus. We had limited time in Paris and honestly wish we would’ve spend more time in the city. For those wanting to learn about history, this can be a great tour, but be mindful to not bring any food or beverages. They should have been explained when making a reservation.
