The D-Day tour was amazing! Our tour guide was extremely professional - not only was he knowledgeable, but interesting and congenial. The lunch in Normandy was most enjoyable. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and the atmosphere lovely. Thank you for a memory I will treasure forever.

It was very moving I'm not normally a "history person but this trip made it real to me. Also, our driver/tour guide was fantastic.

Normandy is a must-tour for all Americans that visit France. Omaha Beach is so beautiful, yet so many young lives were sacrificed for our freedom and to defeat fascism. The cemetery is breathtaking and I was speechless. Our tour guide was great, and the lunch was the best meal I had while in France. I will book all my tours through Viator next time I go to Europe.

The D-Day tour was everything and more that I expected. Lunch was fantastic. I would recommend the tour to anyone with or without World War II knowledge.

Outstanding. Very long 15 hours but worth it. Great lunch.

My son was traveling around the world and met me in France. We both wanted to see Normandy and the memorials to the US dead, killed liberating France. I am 64 and grew up hearing the stories of the European invasions from uncles and cousins. It was wonderful seeing the actual landscape to understand what they had to deal with. I would say the trip was excellent given that we only had one day to do it in. Naturally, things had to be rushed a little and I don't think that was a bad thing. So any improvement would have to be on our ability to stay longer and not a problem with your program. Your driver was very good at explaining the history to us as we passed through the country side. He was very helpful and willing to slow down to let us take photos when passing a point of interest. I would have to give you folks extremely high marks for the exquisite farm hotel we had our lunch in. The meal was absolutely one of the best I had while in France. The people who served us were very welcoming, the wine was excellent...wow! One other item I feel our driver offered us that was noticed by me he was very good at avoiding the places where the huge tourist buses were stopping. We were at Omaha Beach before all of the big bus tours got there and we were able to reflect on the reality of the landing there without dealing with tons of other people. My son and I found the trip to be very moving and very satisfying. Thank you. High marks from the Woolley family.

We left this tour for the end of our trip and I'm glad we did. It's very emotional to see nearly 10,000 white crosses in the American cemetery. We would have enjoyed spending more time at Juno because we are Canadian. The lunch at ferme de la Ronconniere was the best meal we had while we were in France.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The van was a little cramped for eight guests and a guide.

Our driver, besides the scenery, was the best thing about the trip. He was fantastic and gave us information all along the way. He was interesting and entertaining, as well as very knowledgeable. The trip is very interesting, although it would have been nice to see a little more of the beaches themselves. However, having done this tour before, but with a different operator, I understand the challenge of seeing everything in a day. If you really want to see Normandy, I would recommend staying overnight. This tour though is fantastic if you're limited in time and want to see the key locations of the D-Day invasion.
