Totally recommend this tour! - I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in a full-day tour of the American sites related to the D-Day landings. Omaha Beach was at high tide so much of it was covered by water, but by the time we got to Juno Beach the tide was out and you could get a sense for how big the landing operation was and how important the timing with the tide was! I did this tour on Veteran’s Day 2023 which made it even more meaningful. Can’t wait to watch “Saving Private Ryan” again! The cemetery is a super sacred and humbling place…war is such a waste of life, but I am grateful for those brave souls that risk and sometimes lose it all to maintain freedom and liberty for those of us who remain…may we always remember and honor their sacrifice. It had rained heavily all week but we lucked out with beautiful weather. I would advise being ready for some rain and wind though as that happens often - bring a small umbrella and/or rain coat/poncho. The drive through the villages and the French countryside was charming. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and the day was well-planned, efficient and enjoyable. The lunch, including the fresh in-season scallops was also awesome (out of pocket). Just the right balance of talking and downtime to soak it all in. The bus was comfortable for the 3+ hour drive each way (we made a stop for bathrooms and refreshments each way) and the driver was also great! Loved it all and would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic day trip from Paris! - Zoltan was an outstanding tour guide. Together with his driver, Fred, we had an incredible day. Zoltan balanced the needs of a large group of ages and interests and had great energy. His passion for the topics, knowledge and personal experience in the armed forces made this tour especially memorable. I’d highly recommend!

Normandy - Historical - If you’re a war history buff this tour is for you. Our guide Zoltan, might be soelling it wrong here, had extensive knowledge on the subject matter. He was very engaging and made the history part very digestibale for non history enthusiasts like myself.

Solemn, respectful and informative trip to Omaha/Juno/Gold Beaches - Excellent tour with Zoltan (and our driver Fred)! Zoltan is highly educated on military history and D-Day/WWII in particular. Entertaining and informative day to the beaches of Normandy.

Incredible Excursion - This trip was absolutely amazing!! From the moment you leave to the moment you return, there is no letdown and it was fantastic! Our tour guide, Zoltain, was incredible - so knowledgeable, informative, engaging and impressive! While it was fantastic to see the sites in person, Zoltain's explanation, history, experiences and deep knowledge made them 'come to life'. We were able to take great pictures and I would highly recommend this trip! One of the highlights of our trip to France, leaving is with tremendous memories. Incroyable!!

Great Trip - We had a great trip with our guide, Steve. He was good about keeping the tour on time and didn't talk too much. He told great stories and gave relevant information, all while being fun. Sites were great. We are very glad we booked this trip.

Great trip, but no AC on the bus - It was great to be able to see Normandy in a day. There's a lot to see, and with the 4 hour bus ride from Paris it can seem short, but our tour guide Steve worked hard for us! He showed us so many great stops, shared history, and answered questions. We even had a medical emergency and he handled it with expert care and kept us on our timeline. The bus driver did a good job navigating us through traffic. However THE BUS DID NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING! This was a big failure for the tour company and I would not recommend booking with them for this specific reason. We were promised AC and the bus was so hot. The tour company should double-check the AC before every trip. Not sure how this was missed. The tour guide did everything he could.
