A good way to see this important piece of history if you only have a day to do it. - We went to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery from Paris. We mad three other stops. It was informative and we had enough time at each stop. I could have used more at the Cemetery because I felt rushed trying to also take in the museum, but the trip was 13 hours and I understand it would have been even longer. We saw a lot in the time we had for a day trip. I feel satisfied with the experience. Also I initially purchased a tour that included lunch, but some of our group was on a different bus with no lunch included. They accommodated myself and two friends to go on the other bus and offered a refund of the lunch part of the purchase without hesitation. I haven’t had a confirmation email yet, but when I logged into Viator it stated a refund was granted. Overall, a good experience and good customer service.

Great experience! - This was an amazing trip and moving experience for us. The trip was very well organized to maximize your experience out of a day trip to the region and I felt that we hit all the highlights without feeling rushed through things. Our guide was AMAZING. He had a military background that brought a really thorough and complete perspective to the history of D Day. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone looking to fit a day trip to Normandy from Paris in their vacation.

Incredible Experience - Such an incredible experience. Our guide Zoltan was such a wealth of knowledge. He really brought Normandy to life. It definitely poured buckets as we visited the beaches, but that was almost fitting for the solemn surrounding. Never forget.

Great Day! A must do - Amazing day. Zoltan I think it was his name was a total delight. Very informative and engaged in conversation with all of us. There were around 16 in our group. It is a long day but worth the price. I highly recommend it. Kudos to Zoltion for driving 6 hours. He was an excellent driver.

Great - Tour was great especially when having only 5 people in in the tour.Our tour guide “Demetius was great and very knowledgeable. He kept us informed on everything we saw with facts and also side stories so there were never any dull moments.He also had all the answers to any of our questions. There was also time alone to just take in what we were seeing and time to reflect.The ride was a little long but the van was comfortable and we did stop along the way.The beaches and cemetery were absolutely heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time .Great lunch in a beautiful farmhouse/hotel restaurant.

Cramped. Hungry. - Trying to get comfortable on the bus which appeared to be designed for young children. Also, the information for the trip indicated that breakfast would be provided, but it was not.
