パリ発ノルマンディーDデイビーチとアメリカ人墓地日帰り旅行

We were not happy with the end of the tour. There were 3 parties of two who were picked up in the morning and taken to the bus. That worked great. I booked this tour for the hotel pick-up and drop-off service. When we returned, the tour guide knew nothing about transport back to our hotel for any of the 3 groups of 2. She called the office and the office said that they knew nothing about hotel transport, even though we were picked up in the morning. All 6 of us left unhappy and felt that we were not getting the service that we paid for. I personally incurred a cab fare of 30 Euros for transport of my girlfriend and I to our hotel. As far as the actual tour goes, our guide was very good. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided much background on World War II, not just the D-Day landings. The tour stopped at Point Du Hoc. This stop required some walking to see the German Command Bunker. Located between Utah and Omaha beaches, it provided a good vantage point of the landing zones. We them rode over to Omaha Beach. There was not too much walking there. From Omaha, the tour went to the American Cemetery. This was a very moving stop. It was a long walk to the cemetery gravesite – but it was on paved a paved path, with benches. It would have been a plus to have a little more time at this site. From there, we went to Arromanches-les-Bains. A local resort town for lunch and shopping. The restaurant was slow and took the entire hour allotted for the strop. I managed to get a couple of souvenirs by excusing myself from the table and quickly visiting a nearby shop while lunch was being prepared. From there we went to Juno Beach and then headed back to Paris. The Tour made a stop at a highway rest area about half-way in each direction. This was a nice opportunity to use restrooms and get something to eat or drink. The Normandy beaches were about 4 hours from Paris. The bus was comfortable and clean. I am giving this tour a low rating because of the hotel drop off issue.

Amazing, friendly, helpful, very informative guide and the bus driver were kept us safe and they were both very patience.

The bus was extremely small and uncomfortable for such a long ride! There were stops, that helped, but there also was no bathroom on the bus! Again there were stops so not that much of a problem. This tour should have been in a large comfortable bus! It was expensive also. The sights where we were taken were great, and was happy to see them. But we were rushed because of how long a trip we had. The tour guide was very nice, he recommended a restaurant that was good, but nothing can make that bus trip be ok!

Absolutely extraordinary wonderful experience on this tour Our guide very knowledgeable about the history and everything that brought America and Europe to this point. Great driver and again great tour guide. What we liked about him? He was very matter of fact, and he kept people on time and in a group like that that’s very important. He did a wonderful job again the tour very very much worth it.

Long day of driving but worth it. Very nice to get out of the city and learn about the history behind D-Day. Guide was extremely knowledgeable.

Every single stop we made on this trip was rushed, especially the cemetery. I could barely understand our guide’s English so I misunderstood a lot of his instructions about what to do. I would not recommend this tour.

I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing tour this was! Our guide was so knowledgeable and nice! At the American Cemetery, you cannot go up to the headstones; however, when I told our guide I had a Great Uncle buried there and was hoping to see his headstone, he took me straight to the welcome center and they took me to his grave! Without the help of our guide, it probably wouldn’t have been possible. Highly recommend this tour to anyone!!!

Our tour was in a small sized bus. Guide was very knowledgable about D-day and surrounding region. She added extras about the American cementary and landing in normandy for us. We were able to stop for lunch and souvenirs and walk on the beach. Bring an umbrella for uncertain weather. Lots of walking for those who arent used to it at sites. All in all, great experience!

The best way to tour the Normandy D-Day sites without a your own vehicle. Our Tour Guide, Nicholas was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable and organized the timing during the tour perfectly.

My wife and I book d the small group with lunch tour. Things started ok. The meeting spot was easy to find. We were immediately checked in and directed to our van. I’m pretty sure our guide did not introduce himself. The ride there was without issue. We made the decision (mistake) to book on D-Day. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do not do this!!! There were crowds and closed off streets everywhere. Our guide and driver got into an argument over the driving situation. We were allowed only 15-20 minutes at Pointe-du-Hoc, which was not nearly enough time to explore and take in the area. During this stop, our guide provided very little in the way of guidance. It was essentially, the water is over there. Have a look and be back to the van in 15. Omaha Beach was the same. No “guiding” at all at this spot. Take 15 minutes to get some photos and get back on the bus. Admittedly, that is honestly probably sufficient at Omaha Beach. Then the real fiasco started. Our next stop was the American Cemetery. There was so much traffic and police that we ended up on some back road that was barely wide enough for one vehicle. Numerous times passing cars would have to go up on the embankment just so we could pass. We finally got to the cemetery and were allowed 30-45 minutes there. If you are keeping track, that’s an absolute maximum of 75 minutes of actual sightseeing with little to no actual effort on the part of our guide. After that we went to our included lunch spot. I’m pretty sure they didn’t want to let us in, because there was a heated exchange between the host and our guide. We eventually got inside and had a pretty poor fish and chips. Not everything that sucked about this experience was the fault of our guide, but he did not help the situation or attempt to make up for all of the issues. All in all, this tour was absolutely not worth the money. Rent a car from Paris and have a nice drive and actually spend time at the sites, museums, and villages. I wish I e had.
