Brilliant - absolutely worth every cent. The tour is long, but you still feel as though there is so much more to see. Information provided by the guide on the way to Normandy was interesting and great background for the sites visited. Very highly recommended.

The trip provides a solid introduction to the Normandy Beach sites, and delivered as advertised, accompanied by a good, informative guide. Keep in mind that as a day trip out of Paris, it's a good three hour drive both ways, and the remaining time is divided across five stops, so the stops indeed feel a bit rushed. That's why I call it an introduction. A good introduction, but an introduction nonetheless. British and Canadian tourists might be a bit disappointed with the emphasis on American troop landing sites.

This was a great tour for what you get to see. It's a long, but beautiful drive out to Normandy. The lunch was nice, but I would have preferred a shorter lunch and more time at some of the beaches.

Great trip! Tour guide was great as well. I only wish we had more time. But we did a lot and saw a lot in the limited time we had. The only thing I would change is go for 2 days instead of a single day.

Great guide. There is not enough time at the Caen museum, but to see all the rest in one day, it was a sacrifice worth doing. The two films are worth seeing, different from your History Channel. The split screen showing Allied and German films at the same time gave you a good sense of how it fared for each side. The lunch at Caen was great, the food had enough variety that even the picky eaters at our table had a nice lunch. The cemetery is overwhelming, but take time to tour the visitor center. Again, not enough time but at least I got a sense of everything. Pointe-du-Hoc is the best of the coast line visited, as the beaches are, of course, developed. I wish they would do an overnight tour!
