A day in Normandy - Our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about the history of WWII. She also knew history of the surrounding areas as well. She had a real passion for history. I heard information that I never knew.

A lot of bang for the bucks! - A wonderful day. Tolson was an incredible guide. We visited several historically significant places. The day was long but broken up by well-placed snack and restroom breaks. Free time and lunch in Normandy was wonderful. My friends all thought it was very worth the cost.

Normandy and it’s history - We really enjoyed this Normandy experience. It has alot of history and very interesting. The tour bus was on time and made multiple stops. The town where we stopped for lunch was very cute right on the water. The only thing I would suggest is not to include your lunch with the tour because they give you a limited menu, you do not get to choose from the full menu. I would recommend this tour.

Recommended experience - We were eating a menu of the day and great! Variety of dishes and elaborate and quality food. Very attentive and fast service. And the price of €13 unbeatable. Again when we are in the area.

Normandy day tour - Absolutely wanted to do this tour and so glad I did. The 4 hour bus ride was expected and not bad. A chance to rest. The weather was perfect. The problem was that the guide's heavy accent made it almost impossible to understand. Also, there was confusion about the included lunch. Food was great but service was super slow which meant limited time to walk around. Would recommend just eating on your own to save time.

Felt incomplete, traffic was dreadful - There was too little content for the price paid. We skipped at least one proposed stop. Our driver was a bit disengaged from the process. The vehicle was nicely comfortable, so that was appreciated. The tour guide was nice, and friendly. I would have enjoyed more content from him about the sites that we toured. The included lunch was average at best, but the location for it was cool, and the surroundings were interesting. Driving back to Paris took greater than 3.5 hours, so that was a drag.

Normandy from Paris ok - Guide shared pertinent info about d day and Omaha beach etc but really very little about the towns and countryside and buildings we saw. He was very engaging and interesting and even funny at times on the info he did share but mostly encouraged us to rest on the bus. I really wanted more information as we drove along. We could have learned so much more but this tour seemed just focused on D day. He pointed out a castle and the rapeseed fields and mistletoe trees but very little else on the 3 hour drive.
