Great way to see the landing sights - Raphaëlle was an absolutely amazing guide. Super knowledgable about all the major events and had great little antidotes about people and places that really made everything weave together. We also adapted our tour slightly so we could see the sights we wanted and that was not an issue at all. Such a great, yet somber, day.

Just one great experience after another - After a great day touring the St Mere Eglise and 101st Airborne sites with Thomas and Flavie in WWII jeeps, we spent the next full day with Noe who was just as excited about his job as the others in this company. From Brecourt Manor to Arromanches, Noe customized our experience to tailor what we wanted to see. In particular he was prepared with a map and timetable of the 29th Division landings that help one of our companions understand where his father may have come ashore on Omaha Beach. His infectious spirit and love for what he does, as well as the explanations and objectives of the landings just made our day. We would recommend Noe and Normandy Tours in a heartbeat

Great tour guide! - We had a private guide Noé who was very knowledgeable, friendly and so organized. He packed a lot in to our full day of American beaches. It was excellent because of our guide!! Nice van , only our group - worth the price.

Terrific day tour - We had the best day with Raphaelle and Flavie (jeep tour segment). We learned a great deal, and it was exciting to be with someone so knowledgeable who so clearly enjoyed sharing that knowledge. The day went quickly, as we saw so much. Thoroughly recommend the guides and their tour.

It was a learning experience. - Our tour guide, Raphaëlle was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the important history of the Normandy Beaches. She was a good driver and was able to drive us to all the important sites in a timely manner.We had a delicious lunch and special ice cream for dessert.
All of the sites that we visited where important for the US experience in Normandy.

Excellent full day with Noa on D-Day Beaches - Noa provided with many stories and details that fully explained to us the events and the psychology behind the various D-Day experiences. We saw everything and all was thoroughly explained. Very comfortable Van for just the 2 of us.

Excellent 1/2 day tour - A wonderful 1/2 day with Raphaėlle touring Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. She was so knowledgeable and friendly, engaging our kids with interesting facts and even teaching my 12-yo WW2 history buff a few new things. She also contextualized the toll the invasion took on the people of Normandy, a fact that should not be overlooked. Always hire a local guide! Thank you

Americans in Normandy - A fun experience with a great guide. We saw all of things on our list with the exception of the American cemetery due to large crowds.

Unbelievable Experience in Normandy! - Our day touring Normandy with Raphaelle was absolutely unforgettable! She was extremely pleasant, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing historical insights along with personal and unique stories that truly brought the sites to life.
She went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything on our list, even staying past our scheduled time (due to traffic)so nothing was missed. We had 4 children in our group, and she was wonderful with them, speaking to them at their level, keeping them engaged, and making the experience exciting for all ages.
Her passion for the region and dedication to her guests shone through in every moment. We could not have asked for a better guide and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Normandy. A truly 5-star experience!
