Steve was very friendly and knowledgeable in the history of D-Day. He guided our small group around the crowds, pointed out areas of significance, and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Seeing the 3 major landing areas of the allies and then the cemetary was very moving and humbling.
Well organized and an efficient way to see the Normandy beaches and cemetery. The guide was knowledgeable, kind, and really cared about explaining the information and answering questions. You can tell the guide cared about what he did.
Our guide Steve was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. I’m a veteran and studied military history in college and was amazed with his depth of WW2 knowledge. We saw 5 different sites (and had a very enjoyable lunch) yet never felt rushed. Highly recommended!
This was such a great excursion! We got to see all the awesome World War II places in France. He shared great relatable facts regarding each site and let us have some free time at each stop. It was appropriately paced and the best part was that he picked us up from Paris. He even went the extra mile for us when my daughter lost her phone, by helping us look for it, and even reaching out to other tour groups and the police translating for us. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Very knowledgeable guide who adjusts his tour based on what you’re looking for. Long day but worth it.
Bucket List item that did not disappoint! Visited on Memorial Day which made the day even more memorable. Steve was an outstanding host for this small group tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Normandy area and WWII history. This full day itinerary is the one to schedule!
Our guide Steve was very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and funny! We enjoyed the day very much. The cemetery was particularly impressive. Beautifully cared for and the most beautiful roses. Very moving and a lovely tribute to these soldiers who sacrificed their lives.
This was a great experience. Our guide Steve was so knowledgeable and really made the most of our trip. Highly recommend. Also, want to shout out Viator customer service, as I left my phone in a taxi at the pickup point at 6:20 AM, they were so helpful & sent us our voucher to my wife’s email so we could go on the trip. Thank you for helping avert disaster!
Excellent way to see Normandie from Paris in one day. Easy pickup and great to see Utah, Omaha, Point du Hoc and American cemetery. Scott was a wonderful guide today. Appreciate his insights. Enjoyed the Utah museum. Lunch was excellent. Would have liked to see St Mere Eglise since we passed close to it. But again great tour all around. Liked the small size. Only other recommendation would be to bring some visuals to show images of beach in 1944. Highly recommended and enjoyed.
Steve was great. Super knowledgeable, great driver and he helped us get a ceremony for our uncle who dies near Omaha beach at the American cemetery. We didn’t even know that was an option! Would 100% recommend
