Great agenda, great guide. Saw everything promised, and enjoyed it all. Sorry we didn't start closer and have more time at the various sites, but Caen was convenient for other activities,

I paid a higher amount to book this particular tour as my friend recommended the company and raved about the lunch and restaurant. When the driver was taking us to Normandy, I commented on lunch, and he said, no, lunch is on your own. I think I'm due a refund of about $100 (or more). There were many other D Day/Normandy tours to choose from, but I paid extra for this benefit and we were very disappointed. Lunch added an additional $40 to our trip!

A trip to Normandy was not on my list of things to do ..... But should have been. I'd seen all the movies. I thought I knew it all. But there is nothing like seeing Omaha beach in person. Our guide was a young girl who had a surprising and very in depth understanding of what happened, what we came to see, and how we would react. She told great stories, showed photos on que and kept myself (50), my wife, my 17 and 15 year old daughters, my 13 year old son and my wife's mother thoroughly entertained. By far it was everyone's best experience on this trip

Our tour of Normandy's American Sector was outstanding. Our tour guide was friendly, very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. The museums were interesting and some of the best graphics I have seen anywhere. The day long trip was a tip of the iceberg and just gave you a taste of things to see at Normandy as a 9 hour tour was just not long enough. We took another day to go back to our favorite sites to spend more time. To see the entire beaches of Normandy you need a week and tours of each section. Our guide separated fact from movie fiction and explained it very well. His maps and pictures he carried with him gave you the real story of what went wrong and how the forces, both German and American, dealt with it. He explained France's part in the invasion and it's part in the German and French Alliance. I was impressed! I just wished I had had him for a history teacher when I was in school. We ended the trip at the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach and it was sobering. We thank the people of Normandy for the humble tributes to the men who landed there 70 years ago. Your tour was the highlight of our trip!

The tour for Mont St. MIchel was outstanding. We left on time, had a great drive and arrived on time. We saw everything we wanted to see in a hassle free environment.

Thank you France.com for the opportunity for my husband and I to take a tour of the D-Day landing beaches and important sites. Our tour was the highlight of our visit and we will be talking about it and reminiscing for decades to come.

The web site is easy to understand and booking the tour was simple.

We contacted France.com to help us with our extended trip to France. He was very helpful and creative to help us achieve our goals for our visit. Even when we came us with a few changes he did this easily and thoroughly. Very very professional, all that we could want in a trip planner!!

Our trip to Paris and Normany, France in July was by far beyond our expectations! Many sincere thanks to Elodie at France.com for arranging our incredible itinerary. We explained to Elodie that we wanted a very high end and private experience in Paris and Normandy for our fist time trip with our six year old daughter. Elodie arranged accommodations at the Four Seasons, Geroge V steps from the Champs élysées. The accommodations were amazing to say the least. Elodie arranged private and semi private tours of the highlights of Paris, Moulin Rouge, the Louvre, cruises on the Seine, dinner in the Effiel Tower, the Palace of Versailles, a day trip to the Loire Valley including lunch at an amazing winery and a very special private two day tour of Normandy and Mount St. Michel including an overnight stay in an incredible chateau. Many thanks to Franck our tour guide and chauffeur for a very memorable and moving experience! We can't say enough about the quality of the tours and guides and of France.com. We will be sure to use France.com for our next visit and I have highly recommend them to family and friends. We can't thank you enough Elodie!!!

We were 5 couples who wanted to include Normandy & Versailles on our Tauck trip to France this past June, so we found France.com and were lucky enough to speak with John. What a great guy! We explained what we wanted and he knew exactly how to help us. As it turned out, our group of 5 couples became 4 couples and John was right there understanding our circumstance and making adjustments to the cost of the tours. On the morning of our tour to Normandy we were met by our guide, Pierre, and driver, Phillippe. It was a most beautiful 3 hour drive in our mini-van from Paris to Normandy and all the while Pierre answered our questions, gave us interesting tidbits of information, and was just delightful in his enthusiasm. Normandy was, indeed, a moving experience. Seeing the beaches where the Allied Forces landed...standing in the bunkers...visiting the American Cemetery...and all the while listening to Pierre's commentary...quite unforgettable. In the end, we can't thank John enough from France.com for his patience, charm, knowledge, and support. Because of him, we will always have some very special memories. Thank you!

We had a very small window between business meetings and John (France.com) organised a perfect 5 day self guided walking tour of Burgundy. It was fabulous and very much like a Hansel & Gretel adventure. Zig-sagging through vineyards, wooded forests, wheat fields, quaint villages, chateaus, across stone bridges, picking wild cherries. Summer blooms everywhere, wild poppies sprinkling the landscape.
The hotel choices were suitable and we discovered a few lovely restaurants and caves. The weather was very kind to us, warm and sunny. Catherine was lovely, arranging to meet us when we arrived in Dijon, handing over instructions and hotel vouchers. She went into detail explaining our journey and transporting our luggage. The instructions were very well laid out, however we did get a tad confused a few times and took an alternate route. Nothing to complain about though and we quickly reconnected to the original map.

Each morning we checked out of our hotel (left luggage in foyer), set about our journey and arrived at the next town where our luggage was waiting, usually in our rooms and keys were handed over without any delay.

All in all we were transported to a fairy tale experience. Perfect and will definitely do another walk in the near future. Possibly a longer journey and a little more challenging.

Many thanks to France.com , John & Catherine for putting together a seamless excursion. Catherine even organised a taxi on the final day to make our return to Paris from Dijon a relaxing experience. The taxi was comfortable, clean, and driver polite and punctual.

France.com will be the first travel company we ever contact.

We have returned home from our trip with many good memories and our time in Normandy with Stephan, our tour guide that we booked from France.com, was definitely a highlight! Stephan was waiting for us when we got off our boat and seemed just as excited as we were to begin our tour. The van was very nice and we all had a very comfortable ride. Stephan asked us what we wanted to see and offered stories and highlights at every turn. We knew there was a lot of history to see there and Stephan helped us squeeze in everything we could. It was an especially eventful day since it was the anniversary of D-Day and so we saw soldiers dressed like the 1940s along with their jeeps, tanks, and tents. Stephan took us to several of the nearby towns and saw the churches and museums with much to offer as well as the cemetery and legendary beaches. He even took us to a little church off the beaten path (Angoville au Plain) with a unique story about two medics and the church so like them. Our kids really got a sense for what happened on D-Day from this trip and recounted many of the things we saw on our tour to friends and family.

Thank you, France.com, for providing Stephan, our excellent tour guide and making it well worth the price of the tour. Being on a cruise ship the mass tours they offer are far inferior to the one-on-one treatment we received. My Dad is planning a trip to Normandy next year and we told him to look up Stephan on France.com. And we will definitely contact you again on a return trip to France and recommend you to friends. You may use us as a reference as we are very satisfied customers.

I would like to present my sincere appreciation to John Frydman of France.Com “one-thousand thank yous” for making my wife’s 70th birthday celebration trip to Paris such a momentous occasion. I sent France.Com our travel dates and my wish list of activities. The next day I received a fabulous proposal of tours and one-day excursions. On their advice, we put together the most perfect itinerary for our six-day stay in Paris. To this day, I am so very appreciative to John and France.Com for all their efforts in helping me celebrate my wife’s 70yh birthday. THANK YOU FRANCE.COM!
