Private DDAY Tour Omaha Beach Normandy

One of the most informative tour guides I’ve experienced.

Yves was tremendous regarding his knowledge of the Omaha beach landing. He provided context and important details with the events 80 years ago. Yves is also a very personable and made us all comfortable asking questions which he patiently answered. I couldn’t recommend him any higher.

We had a great day with Antony as our driver - apologies if we got the spelling wrong! It was the perfect tour that visited all of the major historical sights and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to enrich their historical experience in the area!

Yves was amazing! This tour far exceeded my expectations. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is genuinely very kind. We all had an amazing experience. Thank you Yves!

Great tour. Very knowledgable tour guide. Even with more than 20 years experience in the US Army as paratrooper and Ranger, I still learned a lot and Yves was able to answer every question thrown at him with great explanations. In addition to the tour, the picnic was fantastic to include the food, the scenery, and the conversation. This tour was great for myself as well as for my three children aged 7-13. Looking forward to doing it again!

We had a phenomenal tour with Dominique Fiquet as our tour guide. We sent her beforehand a LONG list of about 8 different sites our family wanted to visit during our brief whirlwind 9 hours in Normandy. She told us what trains to take from Paris and that she'd pick us up in Bayeux. We met her there and she has a beautiful Mercedes passenger van to use during the tour. My son wanted to add the German cemetery to our itinerary at this late date, a request which met with her bemused exasperation since we already had such an extensive list. But we departed and immediately started checking places off our list. Her deep knowledge of the area combined with her helpful binders of pictures and maps helped illustrate the points she made at each key area. She also supplemented the formal history of the area with additional personal anecdotes she heard when she guided veterans of D-Day decades later. These additional stories really helped enliven the tour. She weaved her way through our list of sites expertly, and we seemed to go against the typical tour guide flow as most of the time the roads and sites were relatively empty. We cruised through the entire day, enjoying lunch in St Mere Eglise with the model of the paratrooper draped on the church roof across from our picnic table. And yes indeed, before the day was done she managed to fit in a last stop at the German cemetery to the delight of my son before dropping us off at the train station. We therefore checked every stop off our to-do list! Thank you so much, Dominique, for a glorious visit to Normandy. During the course of the tour, we decided we need to spend a week here to get a much fuller appreciation of the entire battle. But I cannot see how we could possibly have packed more into the day than we did with Dominique. Merci beaucoup!!!
