バイユーからのノルマンディー米国ビーチと D-DAY サイトのプライベート ツアー

We went on a half-day tour of Normandy beaches and the US cemetery. We started on time at 9 AM and finished on schedule at 1 PM. Our guide, Theo, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and understanding, spoke perfect English and was very understanding of our lack of French language skills. I highly recommend this tour and I hope that you get Theo as your guide.

The local tour operator made an error and booked us for the 31st instead of the 13th on a private tour. They offered a group tour with unacceptable terms and we had to downgrade from a full day to half day to eventually secure a tour. Not possible to reach Viatour - just the local operator. We had to wake up at 6:30 for no reason on vacation. No make good/recovery offered for extreme inconvenience and disappointment.

we took the train from Paris and stayed in Bayeux at the René Matilde hotel. The tour itself was excellent, our guide Pasqual was outstanding and entertaining. His knowledge of the D day events was second to none. if you’re staying in Paris, I would recommend taking the train and spending the night in Bayeux . Bayeux is a beautiful little French town with nice restaurants and interesting shops and bakeries. One word of caution, however, virtually everything is closed on Mondays in Bayeux. taking a late morning train from Paris. Also gave us an opportunity to visit the War memorial museum that afternoon. The tour itself was great. However, my only suggestion would be to limit the time at Omaha Beach and spend more time at Point du Hoc. spent about 40 minutes standing on the beach at Omaha Beach listening to the events of that day but I think it could’ve probably been consent 20 minutes. That way we could’ve spent an additional 20 minutes at point to Hawk, which is much more interesting. nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and definitely recommend it

We were on a tour with 8 people in total. The guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the three stops (Point du Hoc, American Cemetery, and the beach). He had visuals/photos to share with the group, and interesting anecdotes and facts. Only improvement would be if during the drive he shared even more information about the area, or the history. The time in the van was often silent, unless s passenger asked him a question.

ORPHOUS was incredibly arrogant about our reservation. Don't trust them. As part of a wedding celebration planned in Normandy, we set up a tour for 6 of us after the wedding to go to Normandy beaches. 3 or 4 weeks before the date, I told them that we CONFIRM our date. They said to fill out a cc form, which would be sent to us. Never saw another email. 12 days from the actual wedding, I got a notice that I had not returned my cc form and our excursion was cancelled. Now, the whole month of June is booked by everyone, and I have promised the bride's sister and others that we have a guided tour set up. This is an awful thing to do to a family that is travelling to many towns and can't be in Normandy but one day. I am embarrassed now to tell others that we are without a tour or guide. We all wanted some in depth historical interpretation. Do not trust ORPHOUS.
