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
Steve is fantastic and offers tours at many attractions. We booked the D-Day Tour. It was unbelievably life changing. He made history come alive. This was by far the best part of our trip and the best value. Book with Steve. You will not be disappointed. Professional, kind and took great care of us!!!!
We really enjoyed our tour with Steve! He shared a lot of great knowledge with us that enhanced our visit to Normandy. And when he found that some of us had specific family relationships to D-Day, he made sure to visit memorials specific to those people.
Our driver, Steve was the best driver/narrator of all the trips we have taken while in France. He was very knowledgeable about the ride out to the Normandy D-Day area and once there, we could not believe all the information that he gave us. He had a very good sense of humor and joke around with us. I would highly recommend taking a tour of the Normandy D-Day area with this company and insist on having Steve as your driver.
Steve our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and made sure the group had a good experience.
