Brad is top-notch!

The tour was absolutely wonderful in every way. It more than met our expectations, primarily due to our outstanding guide, Brad Scott. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone more knowledgeable on the Normandy battles and related facts. His presentation style was excellent, with a deep respect for the subject matter, but also the ability to sprinkle in humor as appropriate. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you can book Brad as your guide!
This tour is a perfect day trip out of Paris and offers great value for both the history buff and the casual observer.

My wife and I really enjoyed the half day tour with tour guide Matt. As a WWII history buff, seeing this hallowed ground was a must on our weeklong trip to France. This was my second time to the Norman beaches but this time was even more informative as Matt told us many facts about the sites I hadn’t previously known. We were even able to see a few sites I hadn’t seen on my previous trip. My wife, although not quite as into the history as I am, enjoyed seeing the Norman countryside and natural beauty of the coast. I highly recommend this tour for both the history nuts and for those just wanting to see a beautiful part of France.

This trip was a Christmas present for my 9 year old son who has been self studying WW2, Marie was an excellent tour guide, we departed on time from Bayeux in a lovely air-conditioned people carrier, she was knowledgeable about the area and pointed out interesting landmarks and historical buildings on each part of the car journey, she listened and answered all my son's questions and the rest of the tour were very patient with him too. It was an amazing day all round and we couldn't recommend the tour highly enough.
Knowledgeable tour guide really brought this to life.

Great tour by Katell who perfectly divided her tour to accommodate an English and French family on the tour. Very knowledgeable on the local history of WWII with pictures and knowledge nuggets to provide context and bring the tour to life.

We had Matt who was great. He was well educated and you could tell really cared. We got lucky and nobody else showed up so we had a private tour. We did the afternoon 5hr trip which was plenty for us. If you’re training in from Paris it’s a full day of travel. It’s about 2hrs 50min from Paris to Bayeux
Great Tour of Normandy

Response from Host , Aug 2021
Thank you for this lovely review regarding our
full day tour focus on DDAY US SECTOR. It is very important for us that the message symbolizing Freedom is heard and understood simply by everyone. Young and old, the importance is the same. Thank you very much and make the most of the end of your vacation. Best regards
Nice private tour

Very nice tour with a private guide. Learned a lot about DDay. Thank you for the detailed information and interesting answers to all our questions.
Fabulous Half Day Tour

This half-day tour was outstanding. I can't believe I have forgotten our guide's name. She was fantastic. She was a wealth of information about DDay (both factual and stories) and made the tour so interesting. She was passionate about her subject and shared just the right amount of information. Our stops along the way at Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and other sites were fascinating, and more so because the guide was so great. I feel fortunate that as a solo traveller there was also a French couple to share the tour with as during this difficult year it is hard to find a tour. For example, I am Canadian and there was nothing available to the Canadian sites. Our delightful guide also switched effortlessly between French and English. A very worthwhile experience. Merci.
Response from Host , Oct 2020
Thank you very much for this very nice review. Rich on information and we are so proud to see that our new way of guiding works with you to. To give a bilingual service service was very difficult in the past but now we know how to do it and poeople enjoyed it.

Best regards

We had a very good tour in English with Kate. The D-Day became very lively. She brought many photos with her, so that one could get a better idea of all. She knows a lot because she grew up in this area and her family lived there during WW2. Highly recommended!!!

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
