Review of the Normandy D-Day tour from Paris, with Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, the American Cemetery, museum, lunch, and cider stop.
“Initially the duration of the trip seemed daunting, but we are so glad we decided to go! The trip was so interesting, informative and poignant. Our guide, Antoine, was so engaging, sharing his knowledge and even sharing a letter from a soldier who survived D-Day. We’ve been to other World War II sites but the experiences at Normandy are unique. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!”

“Get Your Guide is so exceptional and we will use for every trip moving forward! When you read details and coordination, this actually happens and is very well organized! This is a very full day tour and depending on time over lunch, might be longer than 9 hours. However, you will get a very full experience at Versailles. Claire was an exceptional tour guide who knew so many unique facts and stories. She is a pro! The lunch was very delicious-sit down in a restaurant. The busses are big and meeting point is perfect and easy to find.”

Review of the 7-hour Versailles shuttle from Paris, with palace admission, multilingual audio guide, gardens, timed entry, and practical value advice.
“Being honest, and we have used Viator for many excursions and enjoyed every minute, but this excursion was extremely overpriced for what is offered compared to what you can book directly on your own. Buy the timed entry tickets directly from the Palace website, and use Uber or the train. With this excursion, you still end up in the same line based on the timed entry with everyone else. You are not skipping any lines at entry, aside from the entry ticket which you can do online prior. When I asked our guide about this, he replied that everyone skips the line. We regret paying so much extra for this…”

Spend a full day in Champagne from Paris with vineyard visits, tastings, Reims Cathedral, lunch, and a tour of Pommery.
“The coordination for pickup and drop off were poor. The hotel was not aware that we were to be picked up at that location. In fact, the receptionist was rude to us until he realized that we were legitimate. Mr. Ngyuen was not aware that we were being picked up at a hotel different from where we were staying. On return, he took us back to Hotel du Calvados before being told that we were staying at the Marriott Ambassador in the Opera district. Mr. TN was very good, so we enjoyed the day, but start and finish were not smooth thanks to the poor coordination by your agent in…”
