Honfleur, a harbor in Normandy, was popular with Impressionist painters like Monet and Boudin. They found its changing light and picturesque quays inspiring—and even today, if you return to the same spot every day to take a photo, you'll find no two are the same. On Saturday, visit the town's lively market and stock up on local cheese.

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.

I am a Vietnam War veteran and my wife gave me a tour of Normandy Beach as a present for my 70th birthday. When I found Rudy’s tour company, I checked it out on TripAdvisor and read the reviews. Of the 75 reviews listed, all were rated “Excellent.” After taking a personalized 2-day tour of Omaha and Utah beaches in February 2020, I know that all the ratings were well deserved. On the tour, I joked with Rudy that it must have taken him a very long time to write all those reviews. He just laughed. All reviews were spot on. Our tour group consisted of my wife and me, one of my sons, his wife, and their two sons aged 5 and 3. Rudy picked us up at our hotel in Bayeux in his OD green 7-passenger car. Our son was smart enough to bring the children’s car seats from their home in Paris for they were not provided on the tour. Rudy drove us around for two days and made a point of letting us know this was our trip. He directed us but never rushed us. He catered to all our needs, from youngest to oldest. He is a consummate teacher and an expert on the allied invasion. The tour of the U.S. Cemetery and the flag lowering ceremony were worth the trip alone. Rudy is certainly the guide to use. You will learn so much. You will feel so much. You will not be disappointed.

I booked a full day tour of Versailles with my daughter and it was just perfect. I had many questions through email prior to our outing and they were always answered in a timely manner. They were always there to help. Our morning started out with a very nice Mercedes van picking us up and taking us to Versailles to meet our wonderful guide, Anna. Anna was very knowledgeable on every aspect of Versailles. My daughter and I learned so much and had the most magnificent time with Anna. If we had done this tour alone we would have been amazed still, but doing it with a guide makes a world of difference. There were so many details and things we would have never known if we didn’t have Anna. When the day was over our driver was right there ready to take us back to our hotel. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this company, they were top notch and did everything with ease and class. What an incredible experience!!!
