We’ve used La Vacanza Travel in the past overseas and have been happy, but this tour fell flat for a few reasons. There were a lot of older couples in this group who were quite slow. Getting on and off the bus seemingly took forever. Perhaps we should have paid for the private tour. The tour information was provided in both English and Spanish, meaning the tour guide was repeating the same material in multiple languages. As a result, there was a lot of noise, generally. There wasn’t time to ask many questions. Be prepared for that. The phone charger in our row of seating was damaged, and we were in one of the rows with a window seal blocking our view, and we were required to stay in the same seats during the entire 2-day (plus overnight) trip, so that was disappointing. The accommodations were okay. The front desk personnel at the Novotel were so so and didn’t really aim to please. Also, the 2-day is actually a portion of a 3-day trip. On day 2, because we did not stay for the entire tour, we had to transfer buses to get home. This meant that me and my partner were stuck with the least desirable seats left on the bus. We were both in aisle seats, unable to truly sit next to each other, for the entire 4+ hour ride home to Paris. And there were no phone chargers in that tour bus. So it made for a long ride home, generally. Overall, the locations and timing of the tour was good, though we would have liked more time at Omaha Beach to visit the museum. We had 20 minutes total there. As a plus, our guide was intelligent and cared.

The tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable. Great content and fantastic small group. We saw as much as possible in the two days and the tour guide kept us away from the general crowds and that was the best.

Wonderful tour! The guide was knowledgeable and kept things interesting. The stop of Honfleur which is a quaint fishing village had wonderful seafood at the fish market. Of course Mont Saint-Michel and the D-Day memorials/beaches/ cemetery was the highlight and what we went for and did not disappoint.

Leila, our English and Spanish speaking guide, did a wonderful job. She was very knowledgeable sharing historical and cultural information in a pleasing manner. We liked the itinerary and places we visited. The bus ride returning to Paris was a little too long, however.
