    What our guests say

    This was such a fantastic trip. A friend told us to go for it and I’d 100% spend the cash to do it again. Since we had teens along, we booked a hotel right by the pickup spot because of the early start—definitely the right move. The driver was just awesome, super friendly and made the day so much better. We ended up paired with another American family with kids the same age, which was great (no idea if that was planned, but nice job if it was). There were way more stops than I thought and cooler weather, which was so nice after the crazy heat that summer. Every bit of this day was just amazing. Highly recommend, money well spent.

    The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, stopping at all the major Canadian D-Day locations like Juno Beach and the Bény-sur-Mer Cemetery. Our guide provided loads of context with photos and maps, which made visiting even more impactful. The only issue was the van felt a little tight for the eight of us, especially on the longer stretches between Paris and Normandy, but otherwise the experience was smooth. I really appreciated the respectful way we moved through each site, and the private bunkers were definitely a highlight. Worth considering if you’re interested in WWII history.

    Spending the day in Normandy was honestly fantastic. Our guide Nicholas knew so much about World War II and the locations we saw, and I picked up a lot about both French and American history. He was also friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable. One thing I really respected was how he kept things quiet in the American cemetery, which felt right. We had an awesome time and I'd recommend this tour to anyone.

    Spent the whole day out seeing a bunch of different spots, and honestly it was awesome. Our guide, Bruno, kept things flexible and switched the plans around so we’d always have the best views or hit the cool places when the weather was right. Felt like he really wanted us to get as much as possible out of the day.

    I learned tons of stuff I didn’t know before and enjoyed how the day was laid out. Our guide Nicolas really knew his history and made everything easy to get into, plus he was super pleasant.
