Best guide makes the best experience
Brian B, Dec 2024
Cedric made our D-Day experience amazing. We were traveling as a family (13/10) and he kept them engaged. His passion for history shines and he’s able to explain what really happened vs. the Hollywood version. He picked us up from our hotel and had lunch and drinks available. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.
A blessing!

Cedric made our day in Normandy absolutely perfect. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about the sacrifices the Allied soldiers made in Normandy and also shared stories of those who lived it. He took great care of us, making sure we were fed and comfortable. We are so grateful!
Amazing history blended with beautiful sights

We toured the D-Day beaches and Mont Ste Michel over a two day period. Cedric did a wonderful job of sharing stories about people in the war (famous and not well known) to help bring history to life. He was extremely knowledgeable and even drove many of the routes the armies took in the war. It was amazing to see such beautiful places with tragic backgrounds. Cedric was friendly and accommodating the whole time and ensured we had great tours. I believe I learned more on the tour than in school!
I would highly recommend Normandy Excursions and Cedric. In fact, I’m sending some friends his way next month. I’d definitely schedule a tour again!

My wife and I had an off-season trip to Bayeux, and took a tour upon the advice of our hotel staff. Cedric was an excellent tour guide, and had outstanding knowledge of the D-Day operation. I highly recommend the tour!
