Both our driver and guide were great. When the French speaking driver met us, it would have been nice to know that we were also meeting an English speaking guide. That may be something that could have been mentioned in the trip details.
Excellent trip to British D-Day beaches and surrounding historic attractions from Le Havre
Janeyw1234, Dec 2024
We were collected from our cruise ship at Le Havre by Thibeau, who then drove us to the Merville Battery, Pegasus Bridge and both the English D-Day beaches, with us spending time at each and within The British Normandy Memorial. At the suggestion of Thibeau we went for lunch in Bayeux, what a beautiful city. The cathedral, the history and of course the tapestry is there too, although we didn’t feel we had enough time to do that justice. We had lunch and went to the cathedral and Thibeau kindly escorted us for a brief walking tour, The English D-Day beaches/attractions aren’t as far from Le Harve as the American ones, so the stress is reduced when you have to get back to the ship. We were out from 8.30 and got back just before 5. With hindsight, a quick view of the tapestry could have been done too and still got back in time. Will just have to go again!
Great tour, a must see!

Such a memorable experience! Our tour guide was so personable and knowledgeable. Our driver was prompt and friendly. Would highly recommend to everyone who wants to learn about a part of history. Our boys, age 10, loved it as well.
