Normandy Landing Beaches Tour

"Lionel was a wonderful tour guide. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and surprised us with the many languages he spoke. He shared many interesting facts about things we saw along the roadside prior to our arrival in Normandy. We never felt rushed when we visited the different D-Day sights, which was very nice. I highly recommend La Conciergerie for a tour of the Normandy Area."

"I was picked up right on time. Our guide Lionel made the ride out to Normandy a pleasant one. Not too much information but just enough plus he answered all our questions. He also then let us enjoy seeing the French countryside. Lionel went with us to the battlefield sites and cemetery and was well versed in the events. He stayed with us for a breakfast stop and a nice lunch in a local restaurant. We had enjoyable chats between ourselves and him. The people on the trip were very pleasant and good company which may be common because of the nature of where and why we were going to Normandy. I thought Lionel was a good guide. He was conscientious about getting us to and prioviding us with suficient background information on the sites. The trip was worthwhile and very enjoyable."

"In a past visit, we only saw the beaches and the museums. This tour took us up on the bluffs too, where we could walk thru the German bunkers, some still with guns. The lookout bunkers were amazing, with the view of the beaches below. The field of craters where the bombs hit was shocking. Our guide Pascal began the commentary upon leaving Paris, so by the time we reached Normandy we were more prepared. The museum in Caen was disappointing: very few artifacts and lots of reading, plus the Normandy portion was not open (Dec. 2011) so it was mostly build-up to World War II in general and the world since 1945. We enjoyed the 20 minute film, but over 2 hours in the museum was way too much; we would have preferred seeing another landing beach. Lunch in Arromanches was good."

"Great guide. One suggestion would be to spend less time a museum. Also....great lunch choice."

"Good all day tour with a friendly knowledgeable guide. Some knowledge of the history and events that took place helps understanding."

"My wife and I absolutely loved this tour! You get to see some of the main sites of the D-Day landing and the American cemetery. Our guide (Pascal) was great and we loved every minute of it!"
