What a great tour with...
What a great tour with Colin! Our group was ages 10-80 and he was able to keep all of us engaged and interested. Even those that had been there twice learned something this third time around. The trip is about 3 hours one way from Paris (which we knew) but it went by quickly and was the perfect time to rest before a full day. We visited Omaha, Pointe du Hoc, and the American Cemetery and museum as well as a 4th generation calvados maker and lunch. It was a long day, but worth it on every level.
Operator response
Thank you for this lovely review.
Ages 10 to 80 all engaged in one day is a real testament to Colin, and we love that even a third visit still had something new to offer.
The mix of Omaha, Pointe du Hoc, the cemetery, and finishing at a calvados maker is exactly the kind of day we enjoy putting together.
Long day, well spent.
If you come back to France, we would love to show you another region and another artisan or two.
Kind regards,
The Finding France Team

Great private tour!!
We had the best day! We had a family of 5 adults on the tour - my dad is a huge WW2 buff - the rest of us were just along for the ride, but we all had the best day. We learned a ton, and it was overall very enjoyable. Our tour guide Colin was AWESOME- very accommodating and informative. My dad was so happy with the day - and myself and the rest of the family really loved the tour and found it very informative. We also really wanted to get seafood at a local place and Colin took us to the best place! He had sent a what’s app the night before confirming all details and he was there at Hotel du Louvre right at 7am on our tour date! Long trip to and from Paris but Colin made it great!
Operator response
Thank you for this lovely review.
We are so glad the whole family had such a great day, and that your dad in particular got the WWII experience he was hoping for.
If you ever come back to France, we would love to show you another region and take you behind the scenes to meet some of our artisans and craftspeople.
Thank you for traveling with us.
Kind regards,

Excellent experience
Although pricey, we felt this tour was well worth it. My husband was a World War II buff and this trip was on our bucket list. Our guide, Colin de Rivas, was excellent. He had gone out of his way to research old pictures of the bunkers and D Day beaches to show us what it looked like back in 1944. The American Cemetery was especially moving because it was so huge. Colin made sure we enjoyed ourselves on the tour and was very kind in that he did not rush us through any experience.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review.
We are delighted that this special bucket-list journey lived up to your expectations and felt worthwhile.
Colin will be so pleased to know that his preparation, knowledge and thoughtful pace helped make the history of Normandy feel especially meaningful for you both.
We would be thrilled to welcome you back for another immersive, tailor-made experience anywhere in France.

Colin was thoughtful attentive and resourceful
Colin was an attentive and thoughtful guide. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the journey. Most importantly, he was quite knowledgeable of the Normandy invasion and went the extra distance to explain with the use of photos he stored in his iPad, the invasion. What was remarkable, was his effort at trying to show exactly what point or place was the actual photo taken during the invasion. We managed to climb into the bunkers before the crowds converged and he showed me several bunkers that other visitors were not normally led to. I am thankful and will recommend him to anyone for the Normandy excursion
Operator response
Bonjour!

We are especially glad you could access more confidential sites and enjoy those moments away from the crowds.
We would be honored to welcome you again for another private journey, in Normandy or anywhere else in France, always fully tailored and seamlessly organized from start to finish.
Kind regards,

The whole experience is...
The whole experience is informative and humbling. The cemetery and the movie they play will bring tears to your eyes bringing home the sacrifices these, and all our soldiers make for our freedom. Our guide Colin was amazing. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer and he was patient while we took photographs. This trip was on my husband’s bucket list but I wasn’t sure I wanted to go but I’m very glad I did. I learned so much, saw such beauty and sadness at the same time in the cemetery. We actually went into German bunkers, one that still had a cannon in it. It brought history to life.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing such a moving and thoughtful review.
We are deeply touched to read how meaningful this experience was for you, and how it brought history to life in such a powerful and emotional way.
Colin will be truly honored to know that his knowledge, patience, and care helped make this visit so impactful.
We believe these places deserve to be experienced with respect, context, and humanity, and we are grateful you trusted us for such an important journey.
We would be honored to welcome you again for another meaningful experience anywhere in France.

The Normandy Beaches & Mont. Saint Michel
My wife and I spent 2.5 days with Colin from Finding France. We stayed in Honfleur and went for a full day to Normandy Beaches and then to Mont. Saint Michel for another full day. Words cannot do justice to Colin's professionalism, superb knowledge about WW 11 and the evolution and description of Mont. Saint Michel. Further, his demeanor with us as a guide could not have been better and more professional. We would always work with him in the future whenever visiting Paris.
Operator response
