"Our tour guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and helpful." corey d., United States, April 2008

"Wish there was more time at the sites. Felt a little rushed. But, overall an excellent experience. Driver very knowledgeable and helpful." Anonymous, United States, November 2007

"We had a guide that was so knowledgeable that he made it a great trip. He was so helpful when we had any questions. We would sure recommend your tour to anyone. He took us to a fantastic restaurant in a little town in where we had local caught mussels that were wonderful. Our guide was raised in the area and knew all the history of D-Day. We had a wonderful time." Richard B., United States, November 2007

"The best of the best. It was a 20th century history lesson from beginning to end. The guide was well versed on the topics and was very helpful with everything including taking pictures for us. Kevin Z., United States, July 2007

"My sister and I took a one-day minivan excursion to Normandy on August 26, 2006. Our guide was Lionel Rochmann. I have taken many tours in many places over many years. Mr. Rochmann made a powerful experience more powerful, with his knowledge, his strong opinions and his humor. My sister and I enjoyed him so much and were grateful to have him that day. Upon future trips to Paris, we shall see what other trips you have to offer. If we're lucky, we'll have Mr. Rochmann for a guide again or, perhaps, someone equally interesting. Bonne journee a tous!"

"On Thursday, September 26th, my family took your Normandy/D-day tour. We returned home to the United States early this morning and the first thing I want to do is to give you our comments on this wonderful tour. Of the ten days that we spent in Europe, this tour was the highlight of our trip! Specifically, I wanted to tell you of our experiences with Thierry (I hope I spelled that correctly), our guide for the day. He is the perfect tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, interesting and knowledgeable about the sights that he took us to see. We travelled with our two daughters, Claire (age 8) and Annie (age 5). It was a very long day for them, and yet Thierry made us all feel comfortable and relaxed. My daughters adored him! You should know that he went above and beyond the call of duty when, after I realized that I had run out of film at Pointe Du Hoc, he took us to a little store where we could purchase more film, and then took us back to Pointe Du Hoc so that we could take pictures!! In the United States, this kind of service is unheard of, and it meant so much to us that he did this for us. His knowledge of the history of the sights he took us to see is astounding! My husband and I are very knowledgeable about history, and yet he taught us so many interesting things that we did not know. Finally, as I previously mentioned, he was so friendly and such a very nice man to spend a day with. At the end of the tour, we felt as though we had not only had a wonderful day, but also made a new friend. He gave each of my daughters a big hug which was incredibly sweet of him and made them feel very special! We thanked Thierry over and over again, but if you could give him this e-mail (unfortunately, I do not know how to contact him directly), and convey our thanks one last time, we would greatly appreciate it! We saw so many incredible sights during our ten days in France and Belgium, but because of Thierry, our tour with your company was the best day that we had. Also, please let him know that if he ever does decide to come to America, he has friends in Pennsylvania who would be happy to welcome him and his family! Thank you also, Bian, for all of your help in the planning of the tour. I have nothing but great things to say about your tour company, and we hope to come back to France next year and book another tour with you! Sincerely, Cheryl, Brett, Claire and Annie Bleiler"

"This is just a note to thank all of you at paris- trip.com and especially out tourguide Lionel for the 2 wonderful trips we had with you. We took the Loire Valley and Normandy D-Day trips. Lionel helped us alot with our questions and was very professional in every way. Because of this, we will recommend this service to all our friends in Paris and in the states. It was a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to using your services again in the future. Thanks again" Joe Golub

"Thanks so much for such a good tour! Our trip was so lovely, informative and we enjoyed our driver/guide very much. He was superb. I felt very much like I was there in 1944 or maybe I was in the middle of a virtual warzone overwhelmed by all the odds against the Allied troops. How brave all of your countrymen were and the countries who came to your aid! Our driver/guide was thorough and interesting, besides very delightful company. Thanks so very much for a wonderful addition to an already superb visit to your beautiful country. It was worth the time and money we spent." Sincerely, Rob and Colleen Callicotte

"Thank you for two great day trips, Your service is the best - your drivers are the best. We would (with dought) use your service again . Jo & Rich Thornhill

"A very good tour, so much information for just one day, a memory that will last a lifetime." Nicholas S., Australia, August 2007

"Our driver/guide provided very little information. There is so much history and so much to tell, we were disappointed that he was so quiet. We thought it would be an informational tour and not just a ride there and back with stops at the beaches." Anonymous, United States, July 2007

Normandy D-Day Tour Preview

"The Pointe du Hoc"

"The Pointe du Hoc was a vital position on the Atlantic Wall manned by the troops of Fiel-marshall Rommel ; its casemates of concrete several feet thick, contained six 155 mm guns, capable of firing on Omaha Beach and, even further away on Utah Beach at the foot of the Cherbourg Peninsula.."
"On 6th June, at 7:10 am, 225 Rangers, quite unexpected, landed and heroically scaled the cliffs 90 feet high.."
"The Rangers struggled on for two long days and when these heroes were finally reinforced by troops which landed on the night of 7th and 8th June, only 90 of them remained, many of whom were wounded.."

"The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial"

"The Normandy American Cemetery is one of 14 permanent American World War II military cemeteries on foreign soil. The government of France granted use of this land, in perpetuity, as a permanent burial ground."
"The graves area contains ten grave plots, five on each side of the main mall. interred within them are the remains of 9,387 servicemen and women. Three hundred and seven of which are unknowns (whose remain could not be identified).. The Precisely aligned headstones against the immaculately maintained emerald green lawn convey an unforgettable feeling of peace and serenity." "Overlooking Omaha Beach, this place is conducive to meditation and remembrance. A chapel and a memorial add the finishing touch to this moving scene."

"Omaha Beach"

"The Caen Peace Memorial is a unique site dedicated to the history of the 20th century, from the Second World War through to the end of the Cold War, and a reflection on the challenges of the 21st century, including peace, geopolitical stakes, the environment."
