This tour was great! Perfect amount of time at each stop. Our guide Matthew spoke great English. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the region. Would recommend!
Hi, Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your half day tour of the D-Day beaches with Mathieu and hope that you were able to learn a lot about the events that took place at the 3 sites that you visited. We appreciate you choosing to take a tour with us. Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
On this half-day excursion from Bayeux to three of the sites closely associated with D-Day, there was never a dull moment. Irène proved to be a very well-read, helpful, and entertaining driver and tour guide. Due to the simultaneous departures of other providers from the same location, there was a small parking bottleneck in the center of Bayeux. Arriving on time is therefore highly recommended if you are traveling by car in Normandy yourself.

Gives overview of D-Day at primarily Omaha beach. Our guide, Irene, was fantastic. Not only knowledgeable, but spoke with great clarity. The tour itself is well managed and mostly worked around heavily congested area. Bring water with you.

Very fast and efficient way to see some Normandy highlights in about 4 hours. Not much time to take it all in at a leisurely pace, but if you want to say you saw it and experienced it, it’s perfect.

The guide was incredible. She really wanted to provide you with as much information as possible, not just in regard to the tour but also about the surrounding area. I have come away richly informed about a key event in WW2. It was as emotional as it was interesting.

This was a phenomenal tour! Our guide, Rethro, taught us many things we did not know about D-Day and World War II. He was also fun, kind, easy to talk to, and kept us in the shade and out of traffic as much as possible. Our entire family loved this tour and Rethro!
Hi, Thank you for your kind review! We are very lucky to have Rethro in our team indeed. We hope that through his knowledge you were able to gain a good overview of the events that took place here in Normandy on the 6th of June 1944. Thank you for booking with us!

Excellent experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Was picked up in a clean, newer van and had a very comfortable trip.
