Full-Day American Battlefields and Sites of Normandy Tour from Bayeux

This tour picks great places to visit. Our female guide was an expert in WWII and included many stories we had never heard. She was entertaining and likeable. She has two first names. Our favorite locations were the air museum, which includes four separate buildings, Utah Beach, and the cemetery. The ride home was short.

We chose this tour since we would visit the main sites in which the American forces participated, especially Utah Beach where one of our father's landed in the D-Day battle. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the background history as well as the events that occurred on D-Day. What was particularly good was our tour guide's organization. We were given a general description of the full day's activities before starting as well as a more detailed description at each venue. Timelines were also presented so we had a very good idea of how much time we would spend. She also made suggestions as to what particular locations we should be sure to see. At each venue, the tour guide spent some time with us and then gave us time to freely explore. Her use of the microphone in our tour vehicle was helpful. There were 8 of us in the van, all adults over age 60. The tour guide provided personal assistance with accessing the van and guidance for purchasing lunch. Our group of 4 drove into Bayeux and she gave us directions well ahead of the tour for parking, which is very important, as well as helping us with the translation at the parking kiosk (free parking but a ticket required which was confusing but she provided so much help). Thank you Anne Sophie for your wonderful presentation/tour!

Our guide was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very informative. Best guide we ever had on any tour.

My wife and I did the full day American sector tour with Normandy Sightseeing Tours and it was well worth it. Mathew our guide was excellent and knowledgeable, it was a very hot day and he had water for us, he picked a nice location for lunch. Mathew was well versed on the information and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the approach he took and he made it a point to add extra information throughout the day and brought use to enough locations to frame the history of this particular sector. We had Mathew for two tours and we highly recommend him.

Learned a lot from Roman, he had a reserved lunch for our party of 8. No waiting, great day. Plus he is a vet.

There is no way that an individual could see as much, experience as much or find a more knowledgeable guide than Mac was. He is very well prepared to make the most of an unforgettable day.

We enjoyed our full day tour. We were transported in a very comfortable van with a small group of 8 people. Our guide, Francois, was very enthusiastic and made several special stops to give us the total experience. He was very knowledgeable and energetic (he has a true passion for the subject) but at times spoke too fast which made it difficult to understand what he was saying and to follow the description of the invasion unfolded. Despite that, we enjoyed our day very much.

Olivier is an excellent tour guide and I absolutely recommend him. He grew up on the beaches and has extensive knowledge of the fascinating yet unfortunate history.

This tour was well worth the time and money. Our train from Paris was delayed by ten minutes, and Caroline, our guide, not only called us to make sure where we were but waited for us. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and even helped us find a restaurant for dinner. The visits to the beaches and the cemetery were truly moving. Make this tour a part of your trip.

Remarkable ! One day not enough. The tour guide knew his stuff.
