We went on the full-day Omaha Beach and Utah Beach tour with Thierry, and our experience was truly unforgettable. Our goal was to immerse ourselves in the history and significance of these incredible places, and Thierry brought it all to life through his outstanding knowledge and storytelling throughout the day. Overlord Tours provided a moving, meaningful, and truly beautiful experience. Thank you, Thierry and Overlord Tours!
Thierry was a fabulous guide. The tour was everything I’d hoped for.
An excellent tour. Very informative and our guide, William, offered a wealth of knowledge throughout a very full day tour. Very professional and highly recommended.
We had a great time. Our guide Loic was great! And he provided the perfect amount of humor with a very harsh part of history. The respect he held for the troops that helped Liberate France was heart warming. We highly recommend this tour and our guide.
We did the full dat tour of Omaha and Utah Beaches and it was outstanding. Our guide Lucas, is a native of Bayeux and not only shared what happened, he was able to add little known stories and anecdotes about the area, the people and the bravery of the soldiers who fought during the war. It was a very memorable experience.
OverlordTour was absolutely amazing! Antoine was our tour guide, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about everything related to WWII. We did the full-day Omaha Beach and Utah Beach tours, and the experience was simply incredible. Antoine brought the history to life and made the tour both educational and memorable. I would highly recommend OverlordTour to anyone visiting Normandy—you won’t be disappointed!
Lucas was our exceptional tour guide for a private (spouse and me) full day in the Omaha and Utah theaters, including the cemetery overlooking Omaha beach and many important stops and insights along the way. Lucas was 10/10 and the perfect partner on this very moving and poignant journey across history and hallowed ground.
Excellent full day tour and Lucas was a super and very well informed guide
We had a fantastic tour! Our guide was great, and we learned a lot.
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Overlord Tours and cannot recommend them highly enough! A huge thank you to our incredible guide, Lucas, who truly brought history to life. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling made the places we visited so much more meaningful. Rather than simply seeing historic sites, we came away with a much deeper appreciation for the people, events, and stories behind them. One of the things we especially appreciated was the personalized attention that came with the small group of just six people (my wife and I joined by another party of 4) as opposed to many other companies that go with large tour buses. Lucas took the time to understand what our group was most interested in seeing and customized the day accordingly. He was also incredibly flexible, adjusting our itinerary based on traffic and conditions that day so we could make the most of our time. It never felt like a rigid, one-size-fits-all tour—it felt like an experience designed specifically for our group. We also want to recognize Hope, the planning administrator, who was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her correspondence was always prompt, helpful, and thorough, making the entire planning process seamless. From the initial planning through the tour itself, this was truly a first-class experience all around. The only downside? We realized just how much more there is to see! We know we only touched the tip of the iceberg, and we are already looking forward to returning and doing several more tours with Overlord. If you are interested in the history of Normandy and want knowledgeable guides, personalized attention, flexibility, and exceptional service, Overlord Tours is the way to go. Highly, highly recommended!!!
