It was a little confusing as to the exact spot to meet the van. Our best guess was correct. Maybe having the van there a few minutes earlier, would help. Caroline was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I recommend this tour.

Last minute decision to visit DDay Beaches and I tried reaching out to other tour companies but was unsuccessful, I was referred to Normandy Sightseeing Tours and they were able to accommodate me. I had a great time on the tour and the guide was very informative and friendly. Definitely recommend!

I just got back to the US from a trip to Normandy with my brother, brother-in-law & 90-year-old father. We arranged two mostly full-day day tours with Normandy Sightseeing Tours and loved it. The company was very responsive, communicative and accommodating in planning our trip in the weeks before our arrival. Our tour guide Rose, picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel both days and rented a wheelchair for us to use the whole time. Rose was amazing, my dad kept saying how much he liked her. Her English is excellent and her knowledge of the history and sites was extensive. She grew up in the area and still lives there. She was so warm, informative and a joy to be around. We highly recommend this company and Rose. We went to the US beach sites, Utah & Omaha, and everything in between. We loved the Airborne Museum and Overlord Museum, both excellent, especially for my former C-47 pilot father.

Plan for a long day. It's like drinking from a fire hose, even if you think you know the history. Time well spent!

Starting early in the morning our guide Brice turned what could have been a dry recitation of the facts into a an engaging step back into history. Like many baby boomers we grew up in the early 60's with the specter of D-day part of our day to day life . Brice did an exceptional job of bringing the sites to life life while at the same time giving everyone in the small group the freedom to explore on their own. We would definitely recommend taking this tour!

We had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was super well organized, and Matthew was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly and fun. The sights were incredible, and we had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy and take photos without feeling rushed.
The group size was just right, and it felt really relaxed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone!
