Excellent. because of our guide. - Our guide, Camille, is very passionate about what happened at Normandy and not forgetting the importance of that event and that showed in everything she showed us and spoke about. She made the day memorable for us and we are more appreciative of what happened at Normandy than before we took this tour.

Excellent guide and info. But need more time at Juno Beach - Excellent tour guide, information, and driver. We picked this tour specifically as it was one of the few tours that included a visit to Juno Beach. However our stop at Juno Beach was only 15 minutes (barely enough time to walk to the beach, and visit the memorial). We only had a few minutes to visit the building before we had to leave.
At least 30 minutes at Juno Beach would have been nice considering we spent hours at the other sites

Normandy day trip - The tour would have been amazing, but our tour guide was horrible. He was difficult to understand and babbled. He did most of his talking on the bus and didn’t explain anything at the sites. We sat behind him and he leaned his seat back and was almost in our lap. He put his jacket on the back of the seat even though he had an empty seat beside him. I finally asked him to move it because it was also in our space and blocking our view. I felt we were rushed at the sites and given more time at the gas station stops than some of the tour sites.

The journey is very long... - The journey is very long for a really short time in the stops. The tour guide was a really great guy and accommodated us as best he could. The toilet wasn't accessible on board as apparently no water, made for uncomfortable trip.
