    Guide was nice, but was not communicative. We expected a tour guide who would explain what we were seeing.

    We had a wonderful tour of a very special place. Our guide was more of just a driver since his English was not very strong (which was okay because our group was very familiar with the history), but he was very nice and polite. We were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the drive, cemetary, and views, despite it being winter. We also loved the Overlord museum- the set-up of actual artifacts made it very real.

    I expected to enjoy our Normandy tour, but had no idea just how blown away we would be. The experience was beyond anything I can put in words, just a must see, once in a lifetime experience. Of course, Juliens knowledge, and pleasant demeanor just added to it. We did it in one day from Paris. A long day, but definitely doable. I highly recommend this tour!

    We had an excellent experience from the time our tour guide, Julien picked us up at our hotel. It was over a 12 hour day traveling from Paris to the Normandy beaches, touring, visiting museums, and the cemetery, and back to Paris, but will worth it! The history, the experience of standing RIGHT THERE where men fought and died is overwhelming and emotional. It was a day my wife and I will never forget! Thanks for the experience! Well worth the price!
