Our private D-Day tour through Normandy was truly one of the most meaningful experiences of our entire trip to France—and so much of that was because of our incredible personal guide, Yves.
From the moment we met Yves, it was clear that this was far more than simply a tour. His knowledge of the D-Day landings, the American beaches, the soldiers who fought there, and the stories behind the places we visited brought Normandy’s history to life in a way that a guidebook or museum simply never could.
He didn’t just show us Omaha and Utah Beach—he helped us understand what happened there. Every stop had meaning, every story had a purpose, and his passion and respect for the history were evident throughout the entire day. He answered every question we had, shared details we would have never known on our own, and somehow made an enormous and complicated piece of history feel personal and real.
What impressed us most was how much he genuinely cared about giving us an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, personable, and attentive to every detail. We never felt rushed, and he took the time to make sure we truly understood and appreciated what we were seeing.
Standing on those beaches and looking out at the English Channel was incredibly emotional. Having someone beside us who could explain what the young American soldiers faced that day made the experience even more powerful.
If you are visiting Normandy and considering a private D-Day tour, we cannot recommend Yves highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book the tour. The history is extraordinary, the places are unforgettable, and having the right guide makes all the difference.
We came to Normandy expecting to learn about D-Day. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the courage and sacrifice of the men who were there—and memories our family will carry with us for a lifetime.
Absolutely five stars. An exceptional guide, an exceptional experience, and one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Highly recommend Yves for Normandy tour!
We had an excellent experience touring the Normandy beaches with Yves. His deep knowledge of the history brought each site to life, and he shared fascinating details and stories that greatly enhanced the experience beyond simply visiting the locations. Yves was kind, patient, and engaging throughout the day, always happy to answer questions and tailor his explanations to our interests. His passion for the subject matter was evident, and he made the tour both educational and memorable. Spending the day with him was a true pleasure, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Normandy.

Fantastic Normandy Tour Guide
We had an amazing day touring Normandy with Destination Normandy/Perambulations. Yves was our tour guide, picking us up at the Bayeux train station and escorting us to the various sites. We were very impressed with his knowledge, and ability to keep 8 hours of history extremely interesting, even for our 16 year old kids. Our guide had lots of good humor and was very candid when asking questions. He had a lot of diagrams and photos that really helped tie everything together for us. We stopped at Omaha Beach, American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Utah Beach, and St. Mere Eglise. We stopped for some coffee upon being picked up and had a very nice lunch at a location suggested by Yves. We recommend watching The Longest Day and Band of Brothers prior to the trip. We will be recommending Perambulations to our friends and colleagues.

Great Tour - Very Informative and Personable
Our family had a great experience learning how, and seeing where, the events of D-Day unfolded. Humbling, but also encouraging hearing about some of the heroic stories and sobering to be walking the same grounds where it all took place. Our guide was the best providing new insights and we walked away with even more of an appreciation for everything that took place in Normandy. Bucket list tour.

Wonderful tour and tour guide.
Our guide was right on time. He was a great driver and also a great storyteller. He had Maps and an iPad and explained everything perfectly. He was so informative. This was an absolutely wonderful tour. I now have a much better under standing of the landings at D-Day thanks to him. I would highly recommend this tour. We could not have chosen a better tour or a better tour guide.

A trip to remember!
I wanted to write to say that our planned trip with yourself and Antony exceeded all our expectations and to thank you both.
The level and detail of local history knowledge combined with the planned location visits made this a personal experience to remember.
The 3 days were well planned and run professionally but with a personal touch.

D-Day
This was an excellent tour! Make sure you get Anthony as a guide, very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the region, general information, and of course D-Day itself.

If you do nothing else, DO THIS TOUR
EXCELLENT. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Yves tailored our tour to our interests (my grandfather stormed Omaha). He is so knowledgeable and his interest and love of the subject is infectious! He made this trip truly special. I am a history teacher and have a high bar for tours - this was absolutely worth every penny and more.

Best tour ever! Our party of 7 went on a day tour with Anthony, who was organized, professional, and brilliant. We traveled with two seniors who used walkers and he patiently loaded and unloaded the walkers at every stop. He went at their pace and was so kind. We thought 8-9 hours would be a little long but we all left saying we could do another day as there is so much to see and learn in Normandy, and it fascinated all of us who range in age from 21-85! Having someone to drive us to all of the sites was worth every penny but Anthony added SO much with all of his expertise. We all enjoyed the plethora of knowledge that he has to share; he is truly gifted and had an answer for every question. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
