D-Day Shore excursion with Guide, Lunch & Museum from Le Havre

Amazing tour provided by Normandy Private Tours, I have no words to describe how emotional this experience was. As cruise passengers docking in Le Havre, we were picked up right at the port from our ship Princess Cruise and warmly welcomed by the greeters from the Normandy team, and the bus set off on its journey to the D-Day landing areas. Our guide gave in-depth, moving explanations throughout the day in fluent English, bringing the history vividly to life. What impressed us most was how perfectly the tour was tailored to cruise travellers: the timing was flawless and they made sure we were safely back on board well before departure, with no stress about the all-aboard time. Everything was smoothly organised and deeply respectful of the memory of those places. An unforgettable day that we would recommend to any fellow cruise passengers stopping in Le Havre. Highly recommended.

This was a tour from our cruise ship which also offered a similar tour. This tour was better in that there were only 12 people on the large full sized bus. We went to Pont du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. The Guide was arrogant and did not communicate well. He got our lunches from the bus and took them to the top of a rock, talked for awhile about Omaha Beach and then told us to find a place to eat and come back to the bus when we were done. There was nowhere to sit - no benches or anywhere to eat! The Guide simply seemed bothered to be there - like he was doing us a big favor. Then we went to the American Cemetery which was awe inspiring. The bus trip back was on time and uneventful.

Easy to meet representative. Bus transportation was new and clean. Tour guide was the best in the business and he really spent time making sure everyone understood the D-Day invasion timeline. Lunch that was provided was good and we ate lunch on Omaha Beach

Philip was incredibly knowledgeable and we had a great tour. My only suggestion is that the tour says 830 but the email the company sent said 800. Some on the tour didn’t get the email so we were a little late. But highly recommend!

I would give this tour 10 stars if I could. Thierry our driver and Anne-Sophie our guide were exceptional, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to be with. We learned and saw so much more than we expected, and certainly more than we would have during a standard excursion tour. I cannot recommend them enough.

What a wonderful day with our driver, Sache, and our guide, Elise, in Normandy from our cruise ship. Sache was right on time to pick us up from the cruise terminal. We picked up our guide close to Normandy. Elise was bright, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We visited the German Cemetery, the American Cemetery, Pont du Hoc, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach with the remnants of the Mulberry Docks, a German gun battery with the guns still in place and at the end a Commonwealth (British and Canadian) Cemetery. Elise had numerous photos and information to highlight every site. We dropped Elise in Bayeaux and Sache had us back to the ship right on time. This was a great day. We received what we paid for and it was worth the expense.

The points of interest were excellent. Better organization at bus pick up would have helped make the day more pleasant. It took nearly 30 minutes for everyone to find the Viator representative and bus. Our tour guide Philip, who was very knowledgeable, rushed us at Omaha Beach, giving us 20 minutes to eat lunch and take pictures. Also, we were under the impression that we would be stopping at the Normandy museum which didn't happen.

Excellent tour, very informative. I wish we had more time at Omaha Beach, though. Highly recommend this tour

The tour guide was not very nice. He was rude and arrogant.

Phillips was so knowledgeable and humorous. A great exploration of Omaha Beach.
