Normandiet D-Day Landing Strande Lille gruppe dagstur fra Paris

Our tour guide, Fabrice, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We left the city at 7am and he made sure to stop for coffee along the way. The transportation was comfortable and specious. There were just four of us on the tour. Fabrice was a safe driver and didn’t waste any time getting to or from our destination. He was incredible; personable, patient, and friendly. He shared information and facts we hadn’t heard before. He gave us as much time as we needed at each stop. The sites we visited were indescribably poignant. He said he does this particular tour at least a couple of times per week, but at no point did it seem like he was just “dialing it in”. It was very personalized. Fabrice had answers to every question that was asked. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone looking for an in-depth experience of the events in Normandy.

Our guide Fabrice was exceptional: so historically knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I will recommend him to everyone who wants to take this tour. The tour itself was fascinating, it was almost surreal to be on the D-Day beaches, such a big moment in American history.

Driver was very helpful and provided excellent commentary throughout the excursion. The small group tour is the way to go@

We loved our day at Normandy. Regis did a wonderful job of getting us to our points of interest. We saw so many things, ate at a tasty restaurant and learned so much.

Our trip to Normandy met all our expectations, especially due to our knowledgeable tour guide Nicholas. He was so informed and warm and friendly. It was a 3 hour drive and we felt safe with his driving skills the entire way. We also stopped for a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour

It was a great small group experience. He got us there swiftly with no delays. The sites were very moving and he allowed us the time we needed to processes our emotions.

Our tour was led by Fabrice. We arrived a little early as suggested and he was waiting with the motor running. I would recommend checking the weather prior to going. We did check prior and were not caught without the proper attire. The trip as it mentions is literally on the cliffs in several places and this time of the year can be windy! We had no trouble and would recommend it if you are going to be in town even in the winter. There were only a few larger tours that all arrived after us as they were likely transferred from a Paris train to a large tour bus. This was a much more personal experience requiring no ear buds as we drove through the beautiful countryside and watched as the sun came up to start another day of adventure and awe! We stopped at a place for coffee and sat down never feeling rushed. We chatted about different topics and Fabrice answered all of our questions regarding what we were about to see and listened while we recapped our other Viator adventures. We arrived and were given a very interesting and dynamic interpretation of the events leading to the DDay landings. We toured two different landing zones and the amazing museum. We also spent a few solemn moments at the American Military Cemetary. Never feeling rushed and coming and going at the pace we created. We then had lunch at a great local restaurant with amazing food. I couldn’t recommend this trip any higher or we would give it 10 stars and 15 to Fabrice. All the best to you and yours.

This was a wonderful tour! Our guide Nikola was fantastic - pleasant, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He was also early at the meeting point so we did not have to wait in the cold and darkness. I learned so much about WWII, and especially France’s part in it, in one day. There were only 4 of us on the tour and, even though the ride was long, we enjoyed it by talking among ourselves and with Nikola. I highly recommend this day trip from Paris if you have any interest in this topic and location.

Visiting Normandy was so incredible. What was a major disappointment was the experience of our ride and driver. This tour was an all day tour. We were picked up very early in the morning in Paris and driven to Normandy. I believe 2 hours maybe 2.5 in travel to Normandy. Our guide offered no information on what we were visiting, basically he was just a driver. We were 6 in total in a very uncomfortable van. We made a quick stop to use the toilets prior to arriving to the cemetery. A stop for lunch was supposed to be included and the restaurant we did stop at was closed and the driver made no effort to find another place. By the grace, one of our friends made sandwiches , so that’s what we ate. In the trip back we hit an unusual amount of traffic and the driver dropped us off, not at our drop off point, but basically I. The side of the road and we walked backed to our respective hotels. The execution went wrong. Visiting Normandy and the beaches is priceless!

A long day, of course, and the trip includes few amenities. Our driver was excellent and quite knowledgeable. The area is quite rural and it's extremely confusing to get from site to site, so having an accomplished guide was absolutely necessary.
