HISTORY TOUR REVIEWS

My wife and I participated in the October 2023 Beaches of Normandy tour, as a history and WWII buff, this trip was truly amazing. I learned many things that I didn't know about the Normandy invasion and the subsequent battles as the Allies drove towards Germany. This tour is a bucket list must for anyone interested in history, WWII or just to get a better understanding of what went into finally defeating Germany in this war. Beaches of Normandy tours is amazing, very helpful, I would recommend this tour and tour company to anyone interested.

Excellent Tour! We would highly recommend!

The Beaches of Normandy Tours was exceptional. We would recommend it to anyone that has an interest in WWII and wants to bring it to life. The knowledge shared, the sites visited and the wonderful Tour Guide made you understand, appreciate and certainly never forget the sacrifices. The towns we visited were wonderful and the people we met exceptional.

I would definitely recommend this tour company. well worth every minute spent

I would recommend this to both WW 2 buffs and people who like to see major Italian sights.

I would highly recommend BoNT! Maximum bang for the buck delivered in the most fun and incredible manner!

Great tour.

The Beaches of Normandy tour, Band of Brothers -11 days, it was a wonderful experience in every way. The tour guide was fantastic, Ben Major. Thr experts added so much to the tour. They were all wonderful. I recommend this tour highly to anyone interested in World War II and Band of Brothers, especially. We traveled from Normandy to the Bastogne area and finally to the Munich area, the Eagles Nest and Dachau. The tour ended with a wonderful day in Munich and Oktoberfest.

I believed I was well read and thoroughly knowledgeable about the details about D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, but I learned so much more. The tour filled in gaps that the US Army missed training me during my 24 years as an officer. Overall, it was a life changing experience that I will cherish.

Wow, this tour was very powerful and gave my husband and I a new appreciation of the enormity of WWII and the sacrifice's the common man whether French, Belgin, Germans, American, British or Canadian gave for the price of freedom today. I believe today's world could stand to study WWII as German students do today to ensure the atrocities and loss of life which occurred never happen again.

Beaches of Normandy Tours exceeded our expectations. They had every detail covered in the best way possible and hired the best tour director, bus driver and individual guides in each area we visited!

For years I have hoped to see the Landing Beaches of Normandy. Your tour was an answer to those wishes. I strongly recommend your company and have done so already since my return. Exceptional service, transportation, meals and accommodations. Future travels will be booked with your company.

I would recommend this tour to everyone that is interested in WW2 history. The beaches of Normandy Tours and stuff were very professional and helpful. All the hotels, restaurants and transportion was very good and comfitable. If anyone is thinking of seeing the sights and battle fields of WW2, this the Tour company to use. If i ever think of going to other sights in Europe or where Beaches of Normandy handles, i will use them again and recommend you do too.

I highly recommend the 6-Day Beaches of Normandy tour! Top-notch tour director and guides, excellent hotel and meals, brand-new state-of-the-art motor coach and the perfect mix of sights and museums.

Absolutely spectacular. This tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history especially USA WW2 history. There is nothing like seeing event locations first hand. I loved it!

This experience was beyond words. My dad and I had a wonderful time seeing sites that we only knew from books and documentaries. Walking the beaches and battlefields puts history in a completely different perspective. I would recommend it to anyone with a love of WWII history.

We have already recommended Beaches of Normandy tours, and look forward to additional touring with you.

The tour was everything we hoped for and more. The days were filled with so much from first minute on the coach to return to the hotel. Having Ben keeping us busy while riding on the coach with very informative information about each area was the best! We learned so much! Highly recommend this tour.

Looking into the tour in Italy!

The best tour of many in my lifetime. The tour company and our guide Rey Stefan were on top of everything. Nothing went wrong including surprise situations which were handled skillfully with successful outcomes. Their letter grade with me is A+.

A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Even though we had a larger group (38) Ben was outstanding in getting us all to work and travel together. No one was ever late or got lost. For such a large group, everyone get along wonderfully well. I never heard a single complaint. I would do this tour again with the same group. The best tour I have ever taken!!

Every aspect of the tour was beyond my expectation. Bettina was the face of the "Beaches of Normandy". The company couldn't ask for a better representation. I highly recommend the tour.

If you have any interest in World War II, the Normandy campaign, the US Airborne divisions and their war record this is the tour for you. Visiting these cites and listening to their guides stimulate even more interest. The discriminations of the action is compelling. Their chosen hotels are comfortable, the meals represent local cuisine. The local beer, wine and cordials are excellent. It was a great bucket list experience and I’d recommend it to anyone.

The entire experience was enlightening, enjoyable and humbling at the same time. The tour made me appreciate even more, the sacrifices and hardships endured by the men and women of the "Greatest Generation" who participated in WW II. Even though I've read many books on the subject, one cannot appreciate what it must have been like until you see the enemy defenses, walk the ground and imagine the courage it must have taken for each individual soldier to overcome his fears and to press on. Although I spent over 30 years as Marine and served in combat, the Band of Brothers Tour made me appreciate even more what it means to be an American. I enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone.

Highly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours. This is the tour for anyone who wants to experience what our parents and grandparents went through. Everything is covered in this tour.

Most definitely would recommend The Beaches of Normandy tour company and have already to a couple of friends interested in touring next year. My wife and I are considering the Italian Campaign for 2024 or 2025! And we most definitely would like to do it when Rey is the guide!

I was born in 1941 and grew up during the war. I have seen numerous movies about the war but nothing brings home the truth and grim reality of the war as does Band of Bothers Tour. I am truly fortunate enough to be apart of this excellent an captivating tour.

As a Band of Brothers trip, I would easily recommend it. I suppose if someone was just interested in a World War II trip including Normandy, and not extending as far as Munich, the amount of time on the road could be less. But, we wanted to go where the 101st went and this trips was definitely the one to go on.

By far the best of many tours I've been on. I'm ready to go again.

The tour exceeded my expectations going in. The services provided were first rate in my opinion. I'm already looking at taking more Beaches of Normandy Tours in 2024 and 2025.

This tour was incredible. A once in a lifetime opportunity. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and passionate about their work.

Service was wonderful. All questions were answered promptly.

I would highly recommend your company!

This trip exceeded our expectations. We had never done an inclusive tour before. We had two 20 years old boys/men with us, whom we thought would be hard to please and a bit squirrelly, they were not. They were fully engaged the entire time. The comprehensive detailed experiences were amazing.

I've been waiting for this tour for over a year when it finally arrived it was exciting ,well organized, accommodations were very nice, and the food was exquisite' If you have a chance to go please do by all means.

This tour is a phenomenal way to experience Normandy and learn of the history of the towns and people who lived and died there. I would urge anyone, whether a student of history or someone expanding their knowledge to take this tour.

I would recommend this tour to everyone interested in learning more about our American history. It was an Outstanding Tour! I’ll be back for more tours!!

Highly recommend this tour

We would definitely recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours. First class operation! We are already looking to book another tour with Beaches of Normandy in the near future.

This tour was informative, enlightening, heartbreaking, and at the same time inspirational. Loved it!

I will definitely recommend Beaches of Normandy to my friends. It was the trip of a lifetime.

I would definitely recommend you, and my wife's sister and husband are already planning one of your trips in the spring, after I told them of my tour.

A bucket list item that when far beyond what I had envisioned.

I would absolutely recommend the 6 Day Beaches of Normandy tour! WWII history buff, on your bucket list, just interested or curious? Then this is the tour for you! The amount of knowledge you will receive is staggering. To stand on the sand of the five beaches is humbling and emotional. The tour director, bus driver and local guides are beyond compare!

This tour far exceeded my expectations. It was everything I had hoped it would be!!!

I would highly recommend a Beaches of Normandy Tour to anyone interested in seeing and learning more about the battles and the people involved, including the civilian population. The local guides are outstanding! The hotels selected are great and the bus comfortable. We also loved getting to know the other travelers and making new friends. I can’t wait to go on another Beaches of Normandy Tour!

The tour was very well organized and flawless. The information we received was so educational and I would recommend this tour for any age group.

This tour was everything we hoped it would be and was well worth the price.

Ben/Ballant is superb. You are so fortunate to have him as the "face" of your company. He played a huge role in making this trip memorable for us.

Did a good job just wish we could of brought my wife scooter. Their were several people on this tour that could of used a scooter.

from start to finish, the whole process before, during and after the best experience for the amateur and expert history buff alike. you will NOT be disappointed with the service, the accommodations or the staff. I absolutely and highly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours for your WWII battlefield experience

The tour is a great adventure! The tour director Bettina and the local guides were very knowledgable. Our driver Zoltan was great and made sure we arrived to our destinations each day safely.

Overall this is an excellent tour. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest to WWII history.

I would highly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours in general and this tour in particular.

I will highly recommend this company from the booking to the tour end. Everything was well done. I would like to take another trip with you someday.

I would whole heartedly recommend this tour. This is worth your time and money.

Britain at War was our first Beaches of Normandy tour and we would highly recommend both the tour and the company. No detail was left uncovered as far as planning, comfort, locations and tour guide(s) knowledge and understanding of tour members' desires and needs.

It was an excellent tour. I would recommend it to anyone interested in WWII history. Worth every penny!

Fully packed days and visits to sites I would be unlikely to find on my own, Very knowledgeable local guides who made the past come alive. It would be hard to pick a favorite site, but the RAF Bunker and Littlecote House seemed most off-the-beaten path. Would have appreciated a little bit of down time between 4pm and dinner. Also, the two restaurants near Wembley, though offering excellent food, seemed to cater to a younger crowd and were too noisy to facilitate conversation. All-in-all, though, an excellent tour!

I would whole heartedly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours, to everyone especially to kids (ages 12+). It is important that we teach our kids about history. It's a good investment. Well planned with the key historical events and the customer in mind. Super organized, reliable support and carefully selected professional and knowledgeable staff. They are there every step of the way to help you prepare and have a nice time. Rey and Csaba made sure they've exceeded expectations.

I took the Band of Brothers tour pre COVID. This tour was much more informative with added stops.

I would recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours again and I may use your business in the future (possibly a WWl tour).

I would defiantly recommend this tour, it was fun, insightful and thought provoking. I have never taken a tour like this before but would certainly recommend this to anyone. Rey and the other guides were fantastic and their knowledge was inspiring. The accommodations in small quant hotels in the villages was great and allowed you to walk around the town to explore in your free time.

Other than the lack of food choices at dinner; the tour could not have been any better.

Absolutely great tour !!!! I would love to return with my wife again, All the people who we met were so nice and welcoming. The people and the country of France made us feel so welcome like being home.

This company and this trip was everything I hoped it would be and actually more. I read 2800 pages in books leading up to the tour and I still learned even MORE from our guides. This tour fulfilled a promise I made to my dad decades ago (D-Day vet) and I actually thought this was going to be my last overseas trip - and now I find myself planning which Beaches tour I will go on next year.

Frankly, I didn't know what to expect from this fairly new company. They exceeded all of my expectations with their levels of knowledge, professionalism and caring about not only members of the tour, but of the events they were describing. Military History is certainly the strength of this tour, as it should be. This tour and its presentation were very moving. I had the great opportunity to be there with my spouse, all of our grown children and their spouses and we were united in feeling the spirit of the great events and sites that we visited and heard about in great detail. It was an amazing experience. Even though I thought that my reading and preparation before the tour was extensive, I still learned new facts and saw sites that I never thought I would see in my lifetime. We also enjoyed the opportunity to visit the local towns and restaurants after the daily tour events had concluded. All of the areas we visited were beautiful, picturesque and memorable. Thanks so much to Beaches of Normandy for providing this great experience for me and my family. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys history and travel. I have no regrets whatsoever about any aspect of this experience. If you have an opportunity to take this tour, DO IT!

From the minute we joined the tour group in Paris we had the most incredible experience. Bettina and Akos kept everything running smoothly for the 11 days we were together. The sights and places we toured will live on in our memories forever. I did not expect to be so moved by everything we saw and experienced. I wish everyone could visit these places and hear about what that generation did to save the world. The tour was meticulously planned and it was so nice to not have to worry about anything other than what time to BOB (be on bus) and know that our tour director and guides were going to fill our days with a wealth of information and places to see and experience. It was indeed the trip of a lifetime.

Overall service was outstanding I would definitely recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours to anyone A very well organized operation from start to finish.

"When a tour exceeds the expectations of an experienced tourist, that's a huge win, and the Band of Brothers trip did just that for me. Packed with meaningful moments and historical information as well as great socializing with other participants. I can't imagine how to improve on the experience and highly recommend it to others." Steve W.

This tour went beyond our expectations. Bettina and Akos were both amazing as well as the local tour guides. The knowledge the local guides had really impressed us. The accommodations and food were also wonderful.

I already have. You really get your money’s worth

An absolute must for anyone that wants to tour Normandy!! Could not think of any tour company that could have done a better job. We received an education from the experts who studied the war to inside and out!! I will be directing my friends to sign up for a Beaches of Normandy Tour

We would absolutely recommend this trip (and already have to several friends!). The tour was well planned and thought out. Everything was considered and taken care of.

Maybe one thing that could be added for the tour of the Eagles Nest is a local tour guide by the name of Mr. Tom Lewis, he could assist with adding to the wealth of knowledge that Camille has. But of all great job to your team.

I loved the experience and would definitely go on another similar tour again. Very well organized, extremely customer friendly, and the sites were amazing.

I would highly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours, it is a Life Changing Experience and for me a dream come true is I was 12 years old and read my first book on WWII

I have already recommended this tour and the company to several people, before writing this review. This was by far the very best trip I have ever taken. My husband and I have traveled a lot, this tour was head and shoulders above all others. I am pretty sure we will be looking to take the Italian tour before too long. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

The tour was extremely well planned and the website had all of the pertinent information for the tour. I called to ask a few questions before the tour and they were answered right away. I am very happy with everything.

I loved the entire experience! From planning to actually being on the tour, Ben, our tour director made everything easy. He was so well versed in everything about the tour and kept us on time so we could get to everything we wanted to see. He had informational videos about the places we were on our way to see which was super helpful. When we got to each place, we had a bit more background knowledge, so each place was even more meaningful. Ben never acted upset or tired of our many questions. He was super police, funny, and just an all-around great tour director. Beaches of Normandy is a great tour and a must for all WWII history buffs. I would love to do it again. I am looking forward to the WWI tour from this company.

So clear and easy to use! I have been recommending the Beaches of Normandy Tours to all my friends and relatives. We need to take our children and grandchildren (as some on our tour did) so they know what was done to free the world of tyranny. Again, a great value for the money.

Yes I will recommend B of B and Beaches of Normandy tours to my friends and those interested in WWII. It was a learning experience that people should know about and especially in the depths the tour took us in.

I would highly recommend Beaches of Normandy to any person interested in WWII history in France, Belgium, or Germany. This was a bucket item for me, to walk the Beaches of Normandy with my son, and we were NOT disappointed. Milan, our guide was great as were the local guides hired to take us through each part of the trip. My only regret: It was just over too soon.

I went on this tour because my 11 year old grandson is a WWII buff. I was planning on being an 'observer'. I was so taken by the whole tour that I would do it again in a heartbeat. I loved this tour!!!!

Absolutely I will recommend this tour and have done so already to many of my flying co workers. I Was left in awe by the facts and stories presented to me. This completed the bucket list wish I had To see WWII up close and personal. Thank you for your time and dedication to your customers too have this experience.

I will recommend Beaches of Normandy to anyone who has a hunger for not only knowing more about history but standing in the footsteps of those that made history. Again to see pictures or read about people,places or things is one thing, but to actually walk in places of history is a whole different experience!

Simply the Best! There cannot be a better way to experience the history of World War II which presents a clearer understanding of the undertaking from both sides.

I would recommend this tour to anyone. I had been anticipating this trip for many years and it didn’t disappoint. One of the best experiences of my life.

100% recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours. Interesting locations, very knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining locals guides. Great hotels and terrific food.

I’m also someone that will recommend this tour to people. People who are interested in the history of this period WII and the D-Day invasion and subsequent operations it’s a must tour.

Tour met all my expectations. Service was excellent and hotels were great

Beaches of Normandy has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. Milan our tour guide was fantastic. He was a gracious and wonderful host. Janos our bus driver was very helpful and drove our bus professionally. Our local guides were amazing. Chris in Normandy was a wealth of knowledge and gave a very candid tour from a soldiers perspective. Henri in Bastogne... Henri is a member of the greatest generation and his insight and personal experiences from being under Nazi occupation was priceless. Steve our guide in Munich was a "walking encyclopedia" of historical knowledge. Steve has spent the majority of his life studying WW2 history. Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to future tours.

The wife and I booked the 79th D-day anniversary tour with Beaches of Normandy and had a wonderful trip. We have had the good fortune to travel extensively in our lives. Without a doubt Beaches of Normandy and our tour leader, Rey Stefan, made this the absolute best experience we have ever had. The trip went off with military precision, bus dropped us off at the entrance right on time and picked us up the same. We were treated as VIP's at every stop, especially the D-day ceremony at Utah Beach on June 6th. We were seated among dignitaries. The hotels and food included were very good, exceeded expectations. The program was better than we could have ever imagined, a great mix between the actual historical sites, walking tours and museums. But what made the difference was the knowledgable guides at every stop. Our Normandy guide was a wealth of knowledge and our Bastogne guide lived through the war so he spoke of both history and his personal experience. To sum it up, the entire experience was better than any expectation ... it was a WOW moment for 2 weeks. Every American should have this experience. We took so much from this, and we are so thankful.

This tour made history come alive. It gives you such a deep appreciation for what our soldiers were facing and willing to sacrifice for freedom. If you have the opportunity to go, you should.

We very much enjoyed this tour! It was exactly what we were looking for to visit Europe and especially the WW2 sites. The accommodations were first rate and all guides/driver were professional, knowledgable, personable. As a fit couple in our 50’s the activity level was perfect!

Excellent!!! I will absolutely recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours to anyone that is interested in taking a European trek to learn about and see WWII.

There is not one item that I would change. That tour was outstanding and even the weather that you selected was super.

An excellent tour! This was my third visit to Normandy and the D-Day Beaches, and was well worth the trip! I learned more and saw more than I ever expected!

I went in to this excursion with a lot of excitement. I came away amazed with 1 The planning of details on each stop 2 The knowledge of Rey and the guides 3 The material presented in between stops 4 The enthusiasm of Rey 5 It was Rey’s charm that brought this group together as in my opinion will be difficult to match with any other groups 6 I needed to bring some closer to my dad time in the war , 7 At the battle of the bulge I was standing in a fox hole looking into the forest and was trying I imagine my dad shooting over the fox hole at the charging Germans ,,,,at some point he was wounded and how they got him back to the aid station 8 I could not have picked a better company,a better host, a better guide What an amazing trip you made for this old man Thx you so much

It has taken me some time to digest our Beaches of Normandy Tour. In fact, I am unable to articulate my experience. From the time we booked this trip until the time we arrived home and weeks later was able to share what a professional, informative emotional event this was for my husband and I. Your team of people are ALL so knowledgeable about everything! No one should hesitate to live this experience.

I expected this to be a great tour but I have to say it and the tour greatly exceeded my expectations. The sites we visited were overwhelming within themselves, however; the attention to our comfort in traveling, hotels and meals far exceeded my expectations and made this a memorable trip. Not sure this tour can be topped by any other.

Absolutely the best tour I’ve ever been on. Informative, enlightening and professionally presented. Checked all the boxes and exceeded my highest expectations.

On a scale of 1 - 10, I give Beaches of Normandy Tours a 12!

Very well-planned tour.

Definitely recommend this tour. Very informative and professional.

We are telling all our friends that this tour is a must.

I would definitely reccomend Beaches of Normandy for a 9 day tour. This was a trip of a lifetime and did not disappoint.

The Beaches of Normandy Tours delivered on their promise to provide an unforgettable journey with an all-inclusive World War II tour in a spectacular way that highlighted many key sites that followed the path of the famous 101st “Screaming Eagles” Airborne Division on D-Day all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest. The local tour guides that the Beaches of Normandy Tours had arranged for each of the major stops along the way were incredibly knowledgeable and all had an excellent way to immerse you into that particular site. I would and will recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours to everyone I come in contact with for the rest of my life.

Great tour that checked all the boxes and included some additional unexpected items that make me want to come back for more.

This tour completely exceeded my expectations. The local guides made you feel as though you we there. A truly immersive experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in history. Not just WWII, all world history. Relates to the magnitude of the effort.

The tour logistics and itinerary were extremely well done, all around. Our primary guide Rey Stefan kept the tour moving, was a most genial host and made some long bus rides interesting. Each of the local guides at each stop were exceptional -- SO knowledgeable and engaging. The hotels and breakfasts were quite good and the bus was comfy, with an excellent driver. We would recommend this tour to anyone as both a good value and an excellent way to learn the details of some major WWII engagements.

Very good, would recommend.

Yes I would recommend y’all in a heart beat. First class service in all aspects of the tour.

As a wheelchair user, I was unsure I was going to be able to participate in this tour. Beaches of Normandy tours was very accommodating and helpful to me on this tour. While some places were inaccessible, Ben our tour leader made sure to tell me about these places and show relevant photos so I did not miss out. I would recommend this tour and company without hesitation to anyone who has a desire to learn and see important historical sites.

see website. the best

Would highly recommend

Fabulous tour that exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in history and what our troops encountered during their journey in Western Europe and the strategies employed to win the war.

would 100% book another tour with this company.

I definitely six stars out of five, if I could be so bold. I have already recommended the company to a number of my friends and relatives. Up the good work, and hang on to Ben, Christophe and Janos.

As mentioned earlier, we believe the Italian Campaign Tour was a super combination of WWII action and sights, coupled with the many and varied sights and sounds of Sicily and Italy. We will definitely recommend this tour to others.

Beaches of Normandy Tours did a great job of showing us all the region had. Also explaining to us all the aspects of the region and what it all meant in the bigger picture. The tour was safe and secure for all.

Very informative! Brought World War II to life getting to see the battle sights and walk the paths of those who served.

Beaches of Normandy is a company that delivers a superior tour at a reasonable cost. Their tour director (Ben) was excellent. They communicate very well and know how to run a tour that has no surprises (financial or otherwise) and delivers more even than one expects. I highly recommend the Beaches of Normandy tour!

The Best of the Best don't even try the rest just come to Beaches of Normandy.

If you are ever considering a trip to visit the locations of D-Day, you would be hard pressed to find a better company than The Beaches of Normandy Tour group to take you there. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour for anyone who wants to learn about our history and these area. I can highly recommend to anyone

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Fabulous local guides. Top-notch food & scenery. Wonderful personnel & service. Everything we wanted from the tour!

Beaches of Normandy was the first tour I have ever taken and it vastly exceeded my expectations. Be ready to learn SO much and see so many great sites and museums. This tour really takes care of you as well, you don't have to worry about anything! I enjoyed getting to know my other tour guests as well, I was sad to tell everyone goodbye. I am so happy I got to do this tour with my dad and brother. It was truly a trip of a lifetime.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and particularly the tour director and local guides. Their knowledge and ability to convey it was simply remarkable. The sites we visited exceeded our expectations and made for a fantastic Normandy Beaches tour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to learn more about D-Day and World War 2 history.

This tour of the Normandy Beaches exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Milan was excellent. But the real bonus was having Christophe, who spent decades interviewing survivors from the Allied military, the German military, and the towns people, interjecting real life stories into what we were seeing made the events of D-Day and the days that followed just simply come to life. Anyone interested in history would love this tour. My wife and I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the Normandy Beaches and what really happened there.

Unforgettable trip from start to finish. It exceeded my expectations. Touring of the D-Day beaches reminding me that “freedom is not free.”

The service was thoughtful, comprehensive, and inclusive. This trip was on my wife's bucket list since she was 12 . . . wish we had come earlier and intend to come again . . . soon. We recommend this tour without hesitation.

This was truly the most organized, informative tour and absolutely met all of our expectations. The guides, the hotel, the food the wealth of information absolutely worth "any" trip with this group!!

I can't recommend this tour strongly enough to any one with an interest in history. The guides were great. You'll learn much more than if you did this on your own. I'll be taking another one.

This tour was outstanding!! Previously, about 4 or 5 years ago, I took the Normandy tour with Beyond Band of Brothers Tours and I thought it was great; this tour matched that experience. We saw many things that I had always wanted to see and some things I never even thought about seeing. The details and tour schedules were well planned, thanks to Camille. She is an outstanding tour director who made sure everything was covered. Her assistant on this tour, Rey, was also very knowledgeable and proficient. Both ladies did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Beaches of Normandy for any tour; they are are great company with excellent staff.

Awesome experience!! Highly recommend!! Looking forward to scheduling another tour in near future.

With our tour director Rey nothing was overlooked and attention to detail was impeccable. Rey's knowledge and personal stories made it more captivating for fellow passengers. The side trips were an unexpected pleasure that gave it a personal touch to those of us who's relatives had been in the locations during the war. My family was very appreciative for being able to stop at the Charlie Shay Memorial who is a cousin. It is located in the dunes near Omaha Beach in Saint Laurent sur-Mer. He was an Army medic on the first wave of the Normandy invasion. The statue represents the 175 Native Americans who landed on Normandy Beach on D-Day. He is a Penobscot Indian who is 98 years old and attends the D-Day anniversary ceremonies every year. Your willingness in sharing your wealth of information as a tour director and narrator demonstrates your exquisite ability as a professional. The tour guides were very good and well informed of the history and facts that they talked about. Hotels were first class, museums were top notch and the food was culturally very good. Our well behaved group was impressed by what they saw and enjoyed it very much. The tour was more than I could have conceived along with all the information and the splenders and beauty of the countryside. With the air being clear and crisp on top of the Eagles Nest in the Bavarian Alps it was a spectacular view gazing at the snow capped mountains on one side and the valleys over a mile below. The trip was top notch and an excellent value for what you got to see and do. I would highly recommend it to anyone to take the 11 day Band Of Brothers Tour. Thank you, RICK Wojtowicz

Excellent tour. Local guides were very knowledgeable. Our guide Rey was #1. The pace was good. Not a lot of downtime which was good but never rushed. Would use this tour again and would recommend to others.

It makes a huge difference when having the right person making things run smoothly and it was extremely delightful having Rey as the tour director. She did a phenomenal job with getting to and from the sights and went out of her way to make sure everyone was as comfortable as possible. The food was wonderful and so was she in doing her best to accommodate everyone on the tours and the transportation.

Wonderful experience on the 9 day Tour. Rey was a fantastic tour manager who went above and beyond in many instances and Charlie was a superstar driving the bus in tight situations. Our local guides were great. The bus was comfortable for travel. We had a great group and Rey did a great job keeping us on time. Highly recommended.

The 9 day Band of Brothers tour exceeded my expectations. Ben, our Tour Director, was friendly and did a great job keeping our group informed and on schedule. The local tour guides were knowledgeable and did a nice job presenting their information. It was a special trip. I highly recommend Beaches of Normandy Tours to anyone interested in World War II history.

It's been a lifelong interest to see the beaches, cemeteries and battlegrounds. The tour director and guides and all involved were wonderful. The tour was all we expected and more.

The tour guides are very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The day-to-day schedule runs smooth and gives plenty of time for other activities. Everything was great from the friendly guides to the bus rides. I recommend this to everyone! My sons and I had an amazing time!

This tour was everything I expected... outstanding! Every stop emitted an emotional rollercoaster for me as I pondered the courage of the men and women who participated in the war effort. I mourned for the victims of the Nazi war machine as well. Ben was a great tour guide and the local guides were excellent. I will highly recommend this tour to friends and family. It was a wonderful experience!

We were most impressed by the tour from the moment that we met our Tour Director, Rey. The bus travel was quite comfortable for the entire journey. Each hotel had its own unique qualities, and upon reflection, I would most happily stay at each of the hotels again. As for the tour guides, Christophe was above and beyond the typical tour guide, so kind and knowledgeable ... a veritable walking encyclopedia for WWII in France. And I believe the tour guide in Munich was Steven (I hope that I recall his name correctly), and he, too, was equally versed in WWII and Hitler in Germany. And while Rey's primary role was the Tour Director, she was extremely well versed in WWII and provided such wonderfully informative information between stops and on the road to prepare us for what was coming next. She was extremely knowledgeable. The stops on the tour were outstanding, and we gained so much knowledge each day! And I have to acknowledge Akos, our wonderful driver. He was so kind, helpful, safe, and knowledgeable. We always felt that we were in good hands with Akos. In discussing thoughts with others on the tour, while we all wanted to see as much as possible, I believe that there was a desire to have a little more personal time to enjoy a swim, a workout, and a little more time to stroll some of the towns to enjoy the local scenery without feeling rushed. I believe that the Beaches of Normandy did a wonderful job to maximize every opportunity for the guests, but perhaps a little more free time, particularly nearing the end of the day before dinner could be nice. Breakfast was delightful at each hotel, and the Beaches of Normandy did a wonderful job in planning for meals for the group ... not an easy task. It's nearly impossible, however, to know what to order for those who have dietary requests, particularly, as there are pescetarians, vegetarians, vegans, etc., and not to mention, derivations in each of these. While I had talked with Beaches of Normandy prior to the trip and said we most definitely eat fish and wanted protein, we initially found that the meals were planned vegetarian without fish, and little to no protein. We immediately spoke with Rey, and she got right on it and talked with each restaurant to make accommodations, and everyone was wonderful, and we had delightful fish and seafood throughout our stay. Again, after talking with our passengers, we think that it would be nice to offer an option that does NOT include the dinner supplement, and allow each passenger to order the dinner that most suits there dietary needs. After all, experiencing the food when you are traveling is part of the adventure! Even if it ended up costing a little more for the passenger, I believe that the passengers would enjoy the option, and it would certainly remove on the spot stress from the Tour Director. When we ordered from the menu, my son and I could not have been happier, as the food was delightful at every location! The establishments seemed more than happy to accommodate. Overall, I would without a doubt recommend this tour to my friends and acquaintances. Truly, the Band of Brothers Tour is a WWII history buff's nirvana! And our traveling companions will become lifelong friends. Such a special group of people brought together by their love of history and the sacrifices made by so many. My son and I are very much looking forward to the Third Reich tour being planned for 2024! Let us know when it is available! Five stars to the Beaches of Normandy's for your inaugural year!!

I enjoyed myself immensely, more than perhaps I thought I would. Very thorough & intense, but fun historical (as well as cultural) tour, lived up to its' promises. Especially enjoyed our guide & driver (Rey & Akol), they made huge effort to ensure everyone was properly accommodated and comfortable on the tour; they really wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time (we were) and fit right in with our group. Food was great, hotels were all very nice (though the Bastogne hotel had no a/c and it was unusually hot while we were there). It was great to ride on a 45 seat bus with only 16 people on board, made it easy to spread out and have good views as we travelled. While the primary emphasis was on WW2, I very much enjoyed seeing the 11th century churches and renaissance style buildings, the countryside with its farms & villages, shopping & eating in the places we visited and interacting with a lot of friendly folks. This was my first visit to Europe and after this trip, I hope to return to see more! Kudos to BoN for a nicely packaged tour, I have already recommended it to several friends & acquaintances. Finally, additional kudos to BoN for having Jack Appel, our 98 yr young Normandy veteran along for the tour, he made it very special! It was wonderful to see folks interacting with him at all the stops and we all enjoyed his recollections during his time in Europe during the war. He tells a pretty good joke, too!

Well worth the cost of the trip. I would recommend this company to any one who has any interest in WW 2. They delivered on everything that they advertised and more. Just a wonderful experience.

Well organized and interesting tours. Our tour guide Ben was friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly on our trip. Local tour guides were very informative and experts in WW2 history. I would highly recommend this tour

The Tour was all I hoped for. Very well done.

This being my 8th trip to Normandy Belgium and Germany this tour was outstanding. Rey was a ray of sunshine, keeping everything going smoothly and loved by all the people.

A vacation of a lifetime. Just beautiful. Rey was wonderful tour guide and handled everything perfectly. Just awesome trip. SANDRA Reiter

Unbelievable adventure, loved everything about this tour.

Amazingly well organized, wonderful tour director and bus driver, great local guides. I have recommended this company several times since returning home. You all are great!

Excellent tour, local guides beyond amazing, Rey kept it going forward smoothly. Part of the fun was being on our own for lunches and dinners and not always finding English speaking waiters…meals could be interesting! Laying the wreath at the American cemetery was special. I highly recommend this tour.

I recently returned from the 9-day Beaches of Normandy tour and I have to say I was thoroughly delighted with every aspect. The tour exceeded my expectations. Our Tour Director “Rey” was extremely knowledgeable and took time to get to know each person in our group. She was a delight and always kept the group engaged. Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our very courteous driver, Akos, who did an excellent job throughout considering narrow roads and long expanses. With each stop a guide who specialized in the area lead the group and presented facts that even the most seasoned WWII buff would find interesting. The guides were always welcoming and encouraging questions. In one instance the guide did not have the answer to my question and later that day emailed me the information I was interested in. This is a level of service and commitment that goes above and beyond. There was always sufficient free time to wander the quaint villages, sample food, drink and get a flavor for the country and its people. The hotels were very good with clean, quiet, and private rooms. The hotel staffs were courteous and always welcomed us with a smile and greeting. Breakfast each morning was typically European with a wide variety to choose from and more than sufficient supply. If you have a WWII tour on your bucket list, I encourage you to do it and do so with this firm. You will not regret it.

This was an extremely well run tour and the local guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, particularly Christophe at Normandy; he was AMAZING! The weakest of the guides was the one at the Belgium US Cemetery where General Patton is buried. While it is impossible to know everything about these places I would have expected him to know the legend and interpretation of the the key large maps displayed on the stone monuments of the cemetery.

This was our family's first time as part of a tour group, and we may never go back to touring by ourselves again! Rey and Charlie were amazing, as were the local tour guides, especially Christophe. Their depth of knowledge of the areas visited brought the whole experience to life in a way we would never have been able to experience if we did it on our own. Everything was just great!

It was a great experience and I would recommend it to any and all history buffs. The guides were astounding - totally knowledgeable and willing to share it all. Rey was sunny and cheerful and we followed her flag without hesitation. And she supplied us with some whimsical and very good poetry. Rate the tour A-Plis.

It is a high quality tour, well done. If you are interested in a tour that gives you a very clear picture of the movement of the Allied armies from Normandy to Bavaria. this is the one. I returned a few days ago from the 11 day tour. Keep in mind that you could spend a couple months trying to see everything of significance, but this tour will take you just about everywhere you really need to see. And the local guides range from very good to absolutely excellent. The hotels exceeded my expectations. The variety of foods served at dinners was excellent. The people running the company and tour were at all times very helpful. It is a high quality tour and I really couldn't ask for anything more.

I recently returned from the 11 day tour of the Beaches of Normandy with Robert as our Tour Director. The tour that was well planned out and by far exceeded my expectations. It was the type of tour I have thought about doing for many years and very happy I chose this tour with this company. It was a Five Star experience from the start! Hotels, meals, daily adventures from Normandy,Pointe du Hoc, the Beaches, Bastogne, Munich, Luxenbourg, Dachau, and Eagles Nest, and the American Cemeteries, were very well planned and presented. As a veteran, the American Cemeteries and Dachau were very moving and emotional to experience and I'm sure everyone in our group felt the same, Attention to detail was first class from my first contact with Dana, Janos, our driver, local guides along the way and of course Robert our Tour Director, who made everyone in our group feel like they were the most important person there, attending to their every need! When the brochure said he was availabe 24/7 he was always there 24/7.I highly recommend the Beaches of Normandy tours if you want a first class experience. A phenominal tour of a lifetime and I'm considering going back for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day!

The tour was outstanding! Robert was a superb guide, truly of good humor, and well-versed in every aspect of the tour. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Loved, loved, loved this tour. Robert was an exceptional tour director. I enjoyed every place we stopped and every story we heard from the local guides and from Robert. It is a great tour for those interested in WWII history.

Everything was first class and exceeded my expectations. It was well organized and gave us lots of information via the local guides and Robert. I would highly recommend this tour and this company to anyone interested in WWII history,

Good tour. Enjoyed the time together. The Bastogne Hotel was the least favorite and wonder if moving out the day before we did taking the last day tour and moving closer to Munich would have made sense.

Great tour. Professional staff and guides were very knowledgeable. Each day was organized well and a safe journey through all countries.

This tour amazed me with its in-depth lessons in WW II events and explanations of eventual allied victory. Our tour guide Rey was not only exceptionally well-informed, but also extremely congenial, energetic, helpful, and respectful of her clients' individual differences and needs. I quickly learned to trust our driver and his skill in navigating tight turns and narrow lanes--and also in offering historical information when asked. The expertise of the on-site experts surprised and impressed me; each one of them (in Normandy, Bastogne, and Dachau) corrected common misconceptions, fielded questions, and revealed details and/or perspectives completely new to me. Although my main interests lie with the sites we viewed and the history we learned, the hotel accommodations and food exceeded my expectations, as did our wonderfully diverse group of 14 history buffs. I cannot praise this Band of Brothers tour enough, and am seriously thinking of signing up for another in the very near future.

I have never signed up for a tour, being a do-it-myself with travel type of person. I am thrilled that I took this opportunity with my husband and our nephew (just graduated Highschool). Our Tour Director, Rey, was outstanding--attentive, caring, organized and so approachable. She and the company organized excellent specialist guides to share stories that helped us better understand the space we were standing in. We were moved around Europe with ease and professionalism, and given plenty of free time to enjoy the towns and our evenings. The communication before and during the trip was timely, and accurate. We did not miss a beat on the day adventures and the information, accommodations, and education far exceeded my expectations. I give this tour the highest recommendation!!
