Excellent guide and driver - would do it again!

Tibo (driver) and Anne Sophie (guide) were fantastic! They did great with the children and kept them engaged while presenting the history of Pointe du Hoc, Omaha landings and the American cemetery with respect and due reverence. Both of them were very professional and informative while remaining very personable. They even recommended a local cafe and had lunch with us.

Operator response

Dear Theodore, Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad to hear that Tibo and Anne Sophie made the day enjoyable and engaging for the whole family. We'd be sure to pass on your kind words. We hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Normandy!

Going to Normandy in style

We felt like VIP. We were escorted by the driver to a hangar behind a secret door of the cruise terminal. The driver looked dashing in his suit which matched his spiffy Mercedes sedan. He supplied water and turned on his fancy lights that made the interior look like a nightclub. The driver was very eager to please, he even took us to his favorite restaurant where he was interpreting the menu for us. He spoke many languages beautifully. We were done with our D-Day Normandy tour in 5 hours. The first thing I would recommend for him is to have a sign with the clients name and not to wear cologne. I actually got car sick because I am sensitive to smells. Other than that, it was perfect!

Operator response

Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad you felt like a VIP and enjoyed your D-Day experience with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and your helpful feedback regarding the name sign and cologne, which we’ll certainly take into account. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Normandy someday!

Limo too cramped for 6 people. Seats face each other with not enough room in between people. Air conditioning inadequate. Driver not friendly.

DDay Sights with excellent driver and Guide

Excellent tour. We were 6 people. We had Jlani as our driver and Sunny as our guide. Jlani made sure he picked us up on time and brought us to within steps of our stops. Sunny was passionate about DDay and the events. She explained and made sure we saw the important details. She had photos and directed us well. You would be lucky to share your day with them. Sunny chose a great place for lunch. Le Sapiniere. Wonderful woman owned restaurant with incredible food. Enjoy.

Operator response

Dear Barbara, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your group had such an enjoyable D-Day tour with Jlani and Sunny. We'll be sure to share your kind words with both of them! Thank you for choosing Normandy Private Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Normandy again in the future!

Normandy in Style

We had an amazing experience with our tour of Normandy and its historic sites. Our driver arrived at the port exactly as scheduled and we proceeded to Normandy where we picked up our expert guide, Sophia. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was a delight to spend the day with. She gave us as much information as we needed but never more than we wanted. She was flexible and made adjustments to our itinerary as the day unfolded. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone who want to visit Normandy in style.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your Normandy experience with Sophia. We will be sure to share them with her. It was a pleasure welcoming you, and we hope to see you again in Normandy!

D-Day Normandy Beaches - A Tour Beyond Expectations

Our guide did a superb job! She was so kind, caring, knowledgeable, and organized. She also provided a tremendous number of visual aids from her extremely detailed guidebook she had assembled. She even tracked down the military service records of the grandfather of a person in our small group that had died in the battle for Normandy in 1944 a few days after the D-Day invasion. I have never seen a guide so personable, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable in their presentation and so ready and willing to answer any and all questions. FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are gratified to hear that your guide made your day so memorable with her knowledge, enthusiasm, and personal touch. We hope to welcome you back in Normandy in the future !

Great day with Eliza

Had a great tour and day. Prompt pick up from our driver. So glad we booked the optional guide. Eliza was wonderful and made the day extra special. All kinds of great historical information as we toured Point du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the cemetery. We even had extra time and she showed us around her town of Bayeux with the cathedral and bakeries etc. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend this over huge tour buses. Would book again with them next time we come.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing us! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day and that Eliza made your tour extra special. We'll surely pass on your kind words to heryour driver. We hope to welcome you back to Normandy again soon! Best Regards,
