Normandy tour - Very interesting and informative tour. Long day of travel but stops along way and lunch at restaurant and cider tasting at farm house made it enjoyable.

Wonderful day in Normandy! - We had our best day in France (out of 4) on our Normandy tour. Anjali and our driver were exceptional. From touring, to the wonderful restaurant by the water, to visiting the cider tasting, everyone was friendly and helpful. The sights along the way are beautiful and the Normandy experience is emotional and patriotic. We made it just in time to the cemetery to see the lowering of the flag and taps being played. It’s a long day from Paris, but worth it!

Great Normandy Tour - We recently took a private day trip from Paris to Normandy. Our tour guide, Anjeli, was pleasurable, knowledgeable and accommodating when taking us to the D-Day Sites. She and our driver were also very understanding when on of the passengers was car sick and had to stop twice. We would definitely pick her for a tour guide again. Our stop for lunch and cider was very good and would definitely suggest this location to people in the future. The lunch was at a family run restaurant located at a medieval farm dating back to the 12th century. I would definitely recommend this experience to others!

- It was a LONG day but so worth it! Anjali was a great guide. Knowledgeable and professional. We were a group of 15, stopped at multiple sites and she knew the highlights of all and answered our questions. Her English was perfect, which was super helpful as we were struggling with the French language. The choice of restaurant was the best meal I’ve had during my 3 day stay in Paris. I highly recommend!

- Very nice trip and tour with Anjali as our guide. Worked with us on pickup location and timing as we had a group that took up the whole van.
