Had a wonderful experience with Zoltan, who was our guide on this trip. He knew all the history and made the experience enjoyable and historical. One of the best trips we've ever done. The American Cemetery was especially moving and solemn. Not to miss.

The visits to the WW-II Normandy sites was a eye opening & humbling experience. It is a highly recommended tour for those who would like to learn more about WW-II.

The experience is a reminder that many men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice to maintain freedom for all future generations. Our guide, who is a military officer provided a unique understanding of the size, complexity and strategy of the invasion along with information for all areas we visited. The American Cemetery is beautiful and a great tribute to those who died there.

Our guide was so so. He didn’t do a good job of setting the stage with background information so we could easily follow the history. Also, he ripped into three different travelers outside our group. One was a French vet who set his hat and coat on the base of a flagpole. His actions were over the top. Finally, it was difficult to hear him without earphones in the large group of roughly 20 people. If I was to do it again I would definitely sign up with a group that offered headphones. The upside, once you get off the highway the countryside is beautiful and the villages are quaint. The beaches and cemetery create a sense of reverence and thankfulness for those who served. Note: Plan on a three hour bus ride to get from Paris to Normandy.

Visited Normandy & the landing beaches. It was wonderful but of course, historical & sad. Our tour guide, Voltron, knew the history, was very interesting and an A-1 guide.

Our guide Camille and driver Stefan were excellent. We learned a lot, in part, on the drive from Paris, and in part, while we were visiting the sites. So moving. We have seen movies and read books but actually being at these battle sites and memorials is a profound experience.

Travelers should know that this is a fast paced, yet very informative tour. And that it will probably rain and be cold due to the sea air. It is advised to carry a coat.
