The Perfect Day! - What a perfect day from start to finish! Everything was communicated very clearly about the entire trip. Alexander picked us up at our hotel, and made sure my Mom and I were happy and taken care of all day. You are packing a LOT in, in one day, but you know that going in. This is the perfect trip for people on time constraints who still want to check these places off their bucket list. Such a beautiful, historic experience. Honored to have visited on the 80th anniversary. Thank you again to Alexander, the most wonderful guide!!

Beautiful Day! - What a beautiful trip this is! There is always more to learn about the past and our experience in WW2 is filled with touching and tragic moments I hope no one forgets, lest we end up down such a path again. Being on the beaches where our troops landed and fought, and seeing the bunkers where they kept watch and were fired upon was intense. Our guide Rusty was attentive, informative. and professional. A must do excursion for those enjoying history!

Normandy Beach & Mont St Michael - Great tour. Garry was amazing. Yes, his English is not great but I'm in France so it's obvious not everyone speaks English. Garry was professional, timely, considerate and sweet. Highly recommend the tour!

Lots to see, great experience! - We knew that signing up for this would be a long day because there is so much to see and there is a lot driving. We are grateful they offered this tour though since we had only one full day in France and this tour allowed us to see two things we wanted to see (Normandy and Mont St. Michel. And we were able to do that. In reality you could spend a lot more time at each location, but we didn’t have the time so this tour worked great for us. The driver (Garry) was great. He was part guide as well as driver and helped us keep on pace. He would let know about how time we should take and then let us explore on our own during that time and yet lead us to the next place to go if we were not sure. We really enjoyed the tour and Garry’s efforts. He got us some nice photos also.

Thank you Helen! - Truly appreciate our guide Helen for her knowledge of the tour. She was informative and did not hesitate to share all that she knows with us. She was helpful and very understanding towards a little crisis that my family faced during the tour. Helen’s kindness is commendable! Thank you so much Helen!

Normandy/ Mt Saint Michael tour - Harry was a great guide, and driver. Although shaky in English, he pushed us to the front of experiences in many instances, and looked out for us. I would've rated it 5 stars, but we couldn't get to Omaha beach as it was extremely crowded. A long day, but a memorable day.

Caveat emptor: run away! - Stay away from this company. We booked this tour with a English speaking guide. My French, which is terrible, was better than his English. He was only a driver and knew nothing about the area or World War II. He said he was our guide as well as driver. We asked questions and got one word answers. This company‘s idea of a guide is, “I will pick you up back at the car in 45 minutes. Here is the map.” I cut the tour short and had him return us to Paris. It was a huge disappointment given that I’ve been reading and studying about World War II and the D-Day invasion for many years and was looking forward to a day with a local guide. We missed Mont St Michael due to severe unease with the guide and this company.
