Unforgettable Normandy D-Day: Private WWII Battlefield Tour

We had booked with a different tour guide, based on TripAdvisor recommendations, but Covid intervened and Brigitte Simon agreed to be our guide. She could not have been better!. We visited the coastal beaches from Arromanches-les-Bains, site of a Mulberry harbor, to Omaha Beach. She had maps, pictures, and knew all the history and military strategies used during the D-Day invasion. We had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant on a working harbor (whose name I forget) and toured the American Cemetery. It is FAR superior to have Brigitte take you on a full day of touring in her very comfortable vehicle, than to try to navigate the country roads yourself. It will be one of your favorite days in Normandy. It certainly was ours!

We had a wonderful day with Al. He picked us up right on time and the mini-bus was comfortable and clean. He's quite knowledgable and answered all our questions. I had requested a booster seat for my child and he had it ready to go. Al is a good driver and made the 3-hour trip from Paris enjoyable. We saw all the major points of interest listed in the description and also made a trip to a German cemetery. He was kind to my daughter and included her in his discussions which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour for families who don't want to go on a large-group tour. You are able to customize the trip and make decisions on the fly. Thanks for a great day!

<p>This trip was amazing the guide was very knowledgable <br/> Showed us all the special sites and small beautiful villages I would highly recommend this trip for history buffs of all ages</p>

<p>Our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and brought the history to life. She was a good driver, accommodated required breaks and recommended a great restaurant for lunch. <br/> The only drawback was that the trip advertised that we would be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Since we were staying a ways outside of Paris, we had to commute by bus and train to meet the guide.</p>

<p>Most powerful tour I have ever take. Walking along Utah and Omaha beaches was truly walking on hallowed ground. Thinking of the sacrifices made by my grandfathers generation was very emotional. Our tour guide Guy was far and away the best guide we have very had the pleasure to follow</p>
