Great tour.... Picked us seamlessly at our hotel, grabbed people from one other hotel and headed out. Once there, we were handed off to our guide nice lady whom passed headphones and transponders so we could hear her tour without having to be right next to her. Great idea!!! Since the palace can get packed and noisy. Very informative tour. Tour ended and you were allowed about 90min free time to do whatever before van came back. We used the time to have lunch/breakfast at crepe place very close and very good. Got dropped off at home around 3:30pm.

Rene did a great Jon telling stories that you will never get from a history book or even movie. He has many small unique stories that show the magnitude of the war. I highly suggest even if you are not very interested in WWII. He can point at several sights and tell you their history and stories.

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

Take this tour and explore the island Le Mont-Saint-Michel(a UNESCO Heritage). The island has fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery. Between the fifth to the eighth century, Mont Saint-Michel belonged to the territory of Neustria and remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War and the King Louis XI turned it into a prison. The legend says that the archangel Michael appeared in 708 to Aubert of Avranches, the bishop of Avranches, and instructed him to build a church on the rocky island.

Stephanie worked with us to set up an itinerary that included what we wanted to see but worked within our time constraints. Stephanie was so knowledgeable and easy to travel with it made for a very enjoyable day. I highly recommend this tour if you’d like a taste of the Loire valley and want a little help to make it happen.

From the moment our tour guide picked us up at the train station, I knew I would love this tour guide! She is funny, knowledgeable and witty. Every place, every corner we visited that day, she explained in detail with historic stories which were easy to understand and remember. Not only we had a fantastic time in Mont Saint Michel with her, she also took us to a local fish port for fresh oysters. When we got to Saint Malo, we bumped into traffic and had a hard time finding a parking space. She wouldn’t want to waste our time, and showed us a direction for us to begin our walk and then she managed to catch up after finding a parking space. My friend and I actually decided not to have a proper lunch in order to save time, and then in Saint Malo, she told us to wait her for a few minutes in the middle of our walk in the town. She showed up with two packs of tasty local cookies she bought us in a famous local store, and told us” because you saved money for me at lunch”. But we know she didn’t have to, which was sweet! A fantastic tour guide can definitely make your day and make your tour wonderful, and she is the one!!!

Six of us were on a cruise that stopped at Le Havre. Two of us had been to Normandy three times previously and four had not visited the area . We had reached out to another tour company, but it could not accommodate us and recommended Lena. It was very fortuitous for us!! After our initial plan proved to be too ambitious, Lena worked with us to select the places our group particularly wanted to visit in the Utah and Omaha beach areas. She picked us up in Le Havre from our cruise ship (her car is quite comfortable for 6 adults). While heading towards Utah Beach, she provided a thorough overview of the German preparations and the Allies' intentions. Our first stop was Ste. Mere Eglise and we worked eastward, stopping at Pointe du Hoc, WN62/1st Infantry Division Monument, the American Cemetery, and for lunch. She provided an operational understanding of events as they unfolded, but also the individual human stories related to these events. She was able to answer all of our questions. All of us learned a great deal. Lena was most informative, an expert on D-Day history, and an excellent story teller, She had illustrative photos and charts that greatly added to our understanding of the events. We hope someday to return to Normandy and complete the British and Canadian sectors. If we do return, we will take another tour with Lena! She returned us to the ship with ample time remaining. We are very glad she could be our guide for the day. It was a memorable and moving day for us all.

I struggled to find a tour from Bayeux to Omaha Beach at first, as many tour companies are currently not operating (or not operating on weekends). Finally I came across Normandy Sightseeing Tours and I'm very glad I joined their half-day tour to Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American cemetery. Guide Adrien was very knowledgeable and friendly, and conducted the tour in both French and perfect English. We were a small group of just three people, so there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We also had a bit of free time to walk around and take pictures in Omaha Beach and the cemetery, which I appreciated.
