Normandy D-Day Tour with Mont Saint-Michel Day Trip from Paris

Daniella was a wonderful guide. She was kind and did a great job with organization and keeping the group moving. The information provided was good to provide context. The 2 stops were excellent. We enjoyed each. unfortunately both were rushed. The timeline of this tour is 14 hours with 9 of them on a bus. Mt St Michel is beautiful. I would have loved another hour but it was a fantastic site. The Normandy D day portion was about 1 hour. We did not see Utah beach as seen in the brochure picture which was disappointing as there is a lot to see there. We did see 2 other locations briefly which were very interesting. All in all a fair way to see both places logistically but go in with clear expectations.

This trip was a tour to Normandy and Mount Saint Michel. Excellent driver, very helpful, and nice. Luis Gutierrez, our tour guide did an exceptional job. Very engaged, very knowledgeable and personable. Was a very interesting trip.

The abbey itself is gorgeous; with great views. It was a little crowded, but manageable. The steps to the abbey and sand along the Normandy beaches are very difficult and not suited for people with physical disabilities that affect walking. The tour is also very long, and not ideal for first-time travelers/those not used to long bus journeys. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, making for a wonderful experience.

The guide was very pleasant, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

It was wonderful! Fernando was very kind and had great facts to tell us. So many great stops and the Mont Saint Michael is breathtaking!

We visited the sites as advertised and our guide Fernando gave us the history and background of the area. I knew it would be a long day of bus travel, but the bus was comfortable and clean with plenty of room. I slept a bit on the drives. The restroom breaks were timed appropriately. Antonio, our driver, was professional and courteous. All-in-all it was a great way to see these sites from Paris in one day.

The trip was longer than I expected. Combined 5 hours of touring and rest travel time. 15 hours is long time. I suggest more restroom stops. Waiting 2 1/2 hours is a bit long to use restroom. I loved all the locations. I’m really glad I booked this trip. I suggest using on board monitor and run videos on all visited locations. I want to help improve your tour. Sophisticated travelers need a better experience. I will recommend to others. Thank you.

That it is a FULL day - probably 15 hours. The guide was VERY good, but it was frustrating to have so little time at the stops. The drive back & forth is long that it takes up all of the time you wish you had to see the sights. The tour guide (Cristina) was excellent. There’s just no way around this problem unless you stay overnight.

What I loved: 1) Bus was not full. Made it very comfortable. 2) Guide was impeccable! Friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind. Perfect! 3) It's rare to be able to see both these monuments in a day. Loved it. 4) We didn't spend a whole lot of time in Normandy, but what we saw were the important places. 5) Mont St. Michele is incredible! Most people I know have never heard of it, but it's truly outstanding. What could be better: 1) Would have liked to have stopped at a cemetery. 2) A little more time to eat at the rest area.

The trip was too long. Although I knew it was close to an 18 hour day, it didn’t dawn on me that 15 hours of it was traveling. Was disappointing there were no souvenir shops available for the Omaha Beaches. As a veteran, my family & friends would like to have something. The trip to the Abby was shorter but again not enough time was allotted to shop after the visit. I felt like I was rushed and most of the shops were closed. Next time I plan to just go on my own and hopefully get to browse around longer. The staff was excellent. Fernando called out special interests points as we passed them as well as he sang for the group.
