Went solo and ended up chatting with everyone in the group by the end of the day. Jean (our guide) made sure we had time for questions at every stop, which was great. Cider tasting was so much fun—the owner is hilarious. Don’t skip the museum, even if you’re tired. Bring a small umbrella just in case, Normandy weather is unpredictable.

Hands down, one of the best days of our trip. The stories, the views, the cider—EPIC! Our guide, Luc, even played WWII-era songs in the van, which was such a cool touch. We traveled with two other couples and everyone got along. Was a little crowded at the cemetery, but we still got to see everything. Bring a water bottle, there’s not always a place to refill.

The curated itinerary provided at the beginning of your trip will make sure you make the most of your tour without compromising on any important attractions.
Socializing with others: A guided tour usually travels in a close-knit group, which gives you more space and ample of time to socialise with other tourists from your country. You may even find groups with similar interests and it may help facilitate a healthy exchange of knowledge between the group.
Other ancillary provisions (food and attraction tickets): Your combo ticket may also come equipped with several perks apart from a guided tour.
