Visit to Normandy American Cemetery was highlight of trip.
Tour guide Steve was terrific. Coordinated opportunity for us to visit grave site of Grand Uncle killed in action during D-Day operations. 29th Infantry.

This full-day tour was well worth the time spent away from Paris while on our vacation. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, with endless information about the Normandy area and the D-day invasion, as well as the history of the areas we drove through along the way. He communicated well about what to expect throughout the day with regards to planned stops for seeing specific sites, our lunch break, and bathroom breaks.

A great tour of Normandy Beaches & the Normandy American Cemetery! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable, both about D Day and the Cemetery, pointing out important sites & educating on various important details. He kept the group on schedule without feeling rushed. Our driver was excellent! The best driver in western Europe. 😊

We had an incredible day exploring the Normandy sites. Yes, it’s a long coach ride but well worth it. Our bus driver (Michael Jordan…not NBA legend but bus driver legend) and our guide, Zoltar, were phenomenal! Such a great day!

Steve our guide was very knowledgeable, kind and engaging. I must say the company that provides the tour was very accommodating. We originally were sold a tour on a day they didn't have one. They quicky rebooked us to a differnt day. To top things off they gave us Orsay tickets to help us move other things around. The tour was one of the best experiences I have ever had! Normandy is a must for Americans visiting that region of France.

We were so looking forward to this trip!
The very afternoon before, it was canceled! This left no time to try to book something else.
Maybe this isn’t specifically Viator’s fault, but Viator should investigate the tour operator.

Our guide was so knowledgeable about history before and after DDay. Small group and well planned out with the right time at each stop. Lunch was good and easy. Worth the money. Do not experience Normandy without a guide.

The tour company they did about as good a job as they could. The buses were clean and the drivers seemed very responsible and safe. I did not like the selection of rest stop however. The options may have been limited though. I just felt that the rest stop could’ve been Cleaner and offered more. The tour itself seemed rushed at times. I understand that we covered a lot of ground and our guide did her absolute best to keep us all together and moving on time. She actually did a fantastic job but if I were going to do this again I would do it differently and I would spend the night because it is such a wonderful Tribute and Something and everyone should spend time at. But if you were pressed for time, the tour was a good option. This one should definitely not be missed a very clean very respectful and incredibly well done memorial at the museum.
