Wonderful day! - Natalie was very knowledgeable and friendly and created a very personal experience for us! It was a wonderful day! Vadim was a very professional driver and he knew how to manage the traffic. This trip is a great way to experience Normandy and Mont Saint Michel from Paris when you only have one very long day.

Normandy Tour of a lifetime with David! Best guide ever! - We booked the day trip to Normandy - Omaha Beach/ American cemetery / Museum and Mt Saint Micheal. David was our tour guide and he is a brilliant young French historian who kindly personalized our tour to be more focused on war history per our request. He and the very safe driver, offered many comfort breaks and let us decide on the pace of the activities. We learned so much from David and truly enjoyed his calm easy going demeanor and ability to connect well with our young adult kids even with our jet lag. David even explained many details regarding local etiquette and gave space at times where appropriate. The van was very comfortable and the lunch stop at Omaha beach was very good. It was a long day as expected to see so much but we loved every minute. Thank you!! We will definitely request David on a future tour.

Our 1st Paris Trip and Guided Tour - Five stars. Our day trip to Omaha Beach and Mont Saint-Michel was unforgettable, anchored by our expert history guide, David, whose deep knowledge transformed the sites into living narratives. At Omaha Beach, David provided a sobering historical perspective on the D-Day landings, seamlessly transitioning to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial where he explained the meticulous care taken to honor the fallen. He detailed how the region is currently maintained as a place of profound respect, highlighting the preservation efforts that keep the landscape and memorials pristine for future generations to reflect on the sacrifices made. His expertise shone even brighter at Mont Saint-Michel, where he wove together the site's thousand-year history, from its 8th-century origins as a Benedictine abbey to the enduring legend of Archangel Michael's apparition to the Bishop of Avranches. He explained how the island evolved from a sacred pilgrimage destination to a medieval fortress and prison, and provided a nuanced look at its current situation as a UNESCO World Heritage site grappling with the challenges of mass tourism and the ongoing engineering efforts to restore its tidal flow. Complementing this, our driver, Nazar, handled the journey through Paris and out toward the coast with remarkable skill, smoothly navigating heavy traffic and local road conditions with ease. Along the way, we enjoyed well-timed stops for fresh coffee, light snacks, and a hearty lunch at charming local eateries that offered a taste of authentic Norman cuisine, ensuring we stayed energized throughout the long day. We traveled in a spacious, modern Mercedes Van that made the travel time between sites feel effortless and relaxing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to explore these historic landmarks with a dedicated and knowledgeable team.

Iconic sites in one long dsy - Our driver Umi arrived a few minutes early in front of our hotel in downtown Paris. Umi’s English was quite limited, he was from Chechnya. We had a quick bathroom stop about halfway on a 3.5 hour drive to Normandy. Short visit (25-30 minutes) to the Operation Overlord Museum, which was pretty good and gave a good refresher for D-Day presentations and execution. Then to the American Cemetery and D-Day Memorial, which should be a. mandatory visit for every American. Had about an hour there, then to Omaha Beach Memorial and lunch right near the monumen right on the beach. From there a 1.5 hour drive to Mont St Michel, which was fantastic. Shut bus from visitors center to the site. The Abbey tour is provided as an audio/visual guide as you wind your way through the holy building. We walked back 1.5 miles from Mont St Michel to the parking lot where our driver waited for us. 4 hour drive home

The very young and old, great way to see a lot! - My sister's family and my family plus my brother and two grandma's went on a wonderful family vacation to France! (7 adults and 4 kids under 7) We hired David's company for three days and required two Vans. I wanted to take time today to write a review because they were absolutely wonderful with the young and elder more wiser guests! Typically I do not do reviews because when I am not on vacation I am working non-stop! This is what made this trip so special as a new mom and one who rarely gets a break except on my vacations, it was so great having someone do all the driving and planning for the sites we wanted to see. It was not just being driven but the genuine caring of David, Ili our driver and Vadim are other driver in the other van. The whole time I felt safe and comfortable even having an 11 month infant. They stopped when we needed and the days were long but the Van's are very comfortable and everyone had such a great attitude. Also bonus in the summer the A/C worked amazing in both Vans so I never worried about my infant because always could come back to the van to make sure she did not overheat or eat or take a nap while the rest of the group walked around. I wish I could go back again tomorrow! One day was Paris to include the Louvre and the main sights. David always made sure to help us find the elevator or whatever we needed as we were slower with an infant. In St. Michael we used a baby carrier due to the cobble stones but still had an amazing experience. In Versaille we brought are very portable Yolo baby stroller, which worked well on the cobble stones and in the castle. Normandy day was amazing as well as the day we went to Monet's house. They timed everything perfect so we never where waiting in line too long arrived before the crowds! We had lunch were Monet went frequently with his friends. The Eiffel tour day we did have another tour guide Olga who would be wonderful for a family with no kids she makes sure to get everything in, we however could not climb the stairs with our infant and one Grandma, so just walked around on the bottom when the rest of the family went up. If you have younger kids that cant do the stairs maybe arrange ahead of time with the company to buy the elevator passes. This is what we would do when we go again. My husband and I know we will be back to France so we were not upset and there is a lot to see at the bottom of the tour, infact our daughter took her first steps here! Highly recommend David, Vadim and Ili!! Great driver both Ili and Vadim very safe, skilled and know the routes and how to get you to each area close. This was great for one of our Grandma's. Also should mention they always had nice cold water for us; this too as an American 🇺🇸 who drinks a lot of water was wonderful because we were there during a heatwave with one day being over 100.

This is a good way to... - This is a good way to combine two destinations in one long day. I could not give five stars for one reason only. Our driver was excellent but did not speak any English. This tour was booked as English speaking, Viator did nothing to resolve this when it was brought to their attention.
