Trying to get comfortable on the bus which appeared to be designed for young children. Also, the information for the trip indicated that breakfast would be provided, but it was not.

We had an amazing tour and our guide Steve was full of knowledge and so personable. Would recommend this tour 1000 times. Wonderful way to spend the day outside of the city.

Excellent trip through the beautiful French Countryside to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and really made the excursion outstanding! I would quickly take this trip again. Worth your time to stand where the greatest generation showed valor and sacrifice beyond belief.

This was an amazing trip and moving experience for us. The trip was very well organized to maximize your experience out of a day trip to the region and I felt that we hit all the highlights without feeling rushed through things. Our guide was AMAZING. He had a military background that brought a really thorough and complete perspective to the history of D Day. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone looking to fit a day trip to Normandy from Paris in their vacation.

Such an incredible experience. Our guide Zoltan was such a wealth of knowledge. He really brought Normandy to life. It definitely poured buckets as we visited the beaches, but that was almost fitting for the solemn surrounding. Never forget.
