My wife and I had a last minute opportunity to visit the UK and wanted to visit The Normandy beaches. Our US travel agent found us a Viator all day tour which fit into our limited timeframe. We were greeted by Liv on Monday morning at our hotel for our trip from Caen to Normandy. We allowed her flexibility in the days schedule which turned out to be above our expectations. Our stops included 3 beaches (British and 2 USA) including the US cemetery. She provided background on each location and allowed us time to roam on our own. We stopped for a great lunch at a beautiful garden hotel and had a wonderful time exchanging personal stories. We enjoyed hearing of Liv’s life behind the scenes. She has been to all 50 states in the US and we have 5 to go. Her English was very understandable without the French accent. She wrapped up our day with a cider and cheese tasting which was a perfect end to a somber day for us learning about D Day and the Allied efforts against the Germans.

Liv gets a 5+ from our experience.

First visit to Normandy and the invasion beaches for me and my wife — this tour exceeded our every possible expectation. Mathieu was the perfect host, integrating D-Day with cultural/gastronomy stops along the way, a perfect blended experience. Riding in a vintage Range Rover an added benefit. The Normandy region is beautiful and peaceful — this trip made us want to return for more. We give this tour our highest possible recommendation!

What a fantastic way to explore Normandy and the D-Day landing beaches! Matthieu picked us up in a beautifully restored vintage Land Rover. It was spacious, comfortable, and full of charm.

The tour offered the perfect balance between historical visits and delightful culinary stops: savoring oysters fresh from the producer, enjoying lunch in a stunning garden, and tasting cheese and cider atop a cliff with a breathtaking view. These breaks not only showcased the region’s flavors but also provided time to reflect and process the moving experiences of the beaches and cemeteries.

Matthieu is an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, engaging, and generous in sharing his insights. This tour was truly memorable.

I absolutely loved the tour I took with Mathieu. From exploring breathtaking castles and walking along the stunning coastline to standing in the heart‑wrenching silence of the American Cemetery, every moment felt meaningful. Sharing fresh oysters and a beautiful picnic along the way made the day even more special. I left feeling deeply moved, humbled, and amazed. If you’re visiting Normandy, don’t miss this experience — it’s far more than a tour; it’s a profound journey through history, beauty, and humanity.

A day to remember – not just for the places we visited, but for how personal and thoughtfully curated the entire experience was. Mathieu picked us up in a beautifully restored vintage Range Rover, which already turned heads and set the tone for something special – but the real highlight was him.

What followed wasn’t a checklist of sights, but a meaningful journey through the history, culture, and landscapes of Normandy. Mathieu isn’t just incredibly knowledgeable about D-Day and the region’s past – he also brings you to lesser-known, deeply moving spots you’d never find on your own.

What we loved most: between the historical sites, we made stops at small local producers. Nothing staged or commercial – just honest encounters, great conversations, and delicious products like cider and cheese, straight from the source.

Lunch was another standout – a hidden little restaurant with lots of charm and seriously good food, far away from any tourist crowds.

In the end, it was this mix of insight, personality, and passion that made the day so memorable. If you want to experience Normandy in a deeper, more human way – historically, culturally, and gastronomically – this tour with Mathieu is absolutely the way to go.
