Overall Great Tour

Reviewed by: B2020, 2020/02/24

Overall highlights:
-Very comfortable coach for a long tour
-Extremely knowledgeable tour guide
-The locations we stopped at were perfect

So met the coach early in the morning. After checking in they give you a sticker then you line up in that respective coach once arrived. On the road to the Caen museum the tour guide give plenty of historical information and fun facts along the way. The museum was stunning and we opted for the plan with the lunch which was prepared just for us. The food was amazing and a 3 course meal was unexpected. The remainder of the stops were quick photo stops before making the almost 3 hour trek back

Things to consider:
-6 hours in a coach
- If you like history or museums that blow your mind this is it BUT there is not near enough time to give it the respect it deserves

The visit was a must to me to see the region and the beaches too where the The Americans & British landed. The cemetery was an interesting place to visit . The museum contains lots of articles about World War Two . The lunch was delicious. What I didn’t like was the guide . She was a disaster and not fit for the trip I mean not able to give the right information. Always in a mess .i don’t remember her name.

  • Omaha beach

  • Caen Museum

  • Americans Cemetery

A very inspiring journey to the Normandy Beaches and cemetery. My traveling companion's father was in the D-Day invasion so the tour was doubly important to us. The journey to the beaches was in a very comfortable bus and the tour guides were very knowledgable. A tour well worth the price.

The most impressive item was the D-Day Museum, followed by the Omaha Beach area and the Military Cemetery.

I would also like to express our appreciation to the tour guide who was friendly, polite and informative.

A great, full day of the Normandy beaches and sites. Good meal, nicely presented, and a knowledgeable tour guide. If you only have a day, this is the way to go.

The tour was really good, it was above my expectation, the details like lunch, or knowledge of the tourist guide was really good. Of course the places were amazing. In my case I love WWI history ba<x>sed on that I think was 100% suitable for me I don’t know for common tourist.

Great tour. Meeting spot was easy to find. Bus was comfortable. Guide was knowledgeable. Tour was just what I expected. I would definitely recommend it. This is much better than trying to navigate to all the places on one's own.

This was the greates time I had during all my trip, and I´d being in meny bealtiful places such as Paris, Nice (and the Cote d´azur) and Lyon. I´m suspicius because I am a great entusiastic of II WW theme, but these tour is amazing not only for those are looking to get the feeling of the D-Day. I was with my mother and she really enjoyed the tour, the sightseeings and all the history as well. The guide (Isabela) was amazing, very kind and informative. The dinner at Caen´s Museum is also very goos and pleasent. I really recommend, even if you have a tied agenda in Paris.

We fest a bit hurried. The guide should have told us that the shop in the museum was the only place to buy souvenirs as we all thought we could buy them at the beaches. So many of us did not purchase any items to take home.

It is extremely important to keep this part of history alive. It is a very emotional, and grounding experience that must be felt, in order to appreciate life.
