Spend two days exploring France’s Normandy and Brittany regions on this tour from Paris with an overnight stay in Caen. Visit the beautiful historic cities of Rouen and Honfleur, and tour World War II sites including the infamous Normandy D-Day landing beaches and the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. The next day, venture to the beautiful walled port city of Saint-Malo, followed by a tour of Mont St-Michel, one of France’s most iconic attractions. Overnight accommodation, dinner & breakfast, entrance fees and transport are included.

This was our first visit to France.
If you are looking for a good overview trip of Northern France, this is a great trip. The driver and guide were very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. This would have been a LOT of work to piece this all together on our own. NOTE: This trip is "an inch deep and a mile wide". Meaning, if you are wanting to spend a lot of time exploring each stop, you may be disappointed. You will spend anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hrs at each stop. The guide will walk you around, providing a lesson and then turn you loose to explore. One could easily spend a full day at each site. That's not what this is. You WILL cover a lot of ground in northern France and see/experience many incredible things. If you want to spend a lot of time in some of these places, there are other tours for that.
I highly recommend this trip!!

We’ve used Viator in the past overseas and have been happy, but this tour fell flat for a few reasons. There were a lot of older couples in this group who were quite slow. Getting on and off the bus seemingly took forever. Perhaps we should have paid for the private tour. The tour information was provided in both English and Spanish, meaning the tour guide was repeating the same material in multiple languages. As a result, there was a lot of noise, generally. There wasn’t time to ask many questions. Be prepared for that. The phone charger in our row of seating was damaged, and we were in one of the rows with a window seal blocking our view, and we were required to stay in the same seats during the entire 2-day (plus overnight) trip, so that was disappointing. The accommodations were okay. The front desk personnel at the Novotel were so so and didn’t really aim to please. Also, the 2-day is actually a portion of a 3-day trip. On day 2, because we did not stay for the entire tour, we had to transfer buses to get home. This meant that me and my partner were stuck with the least desirable seats left on the bus. We were both in aisle seats, unable to truly sit next to each other, for the entire 4+ hour ride home to Paris. And there were no phone chargers in that tour bus. So it made for a long ride home, generally. Overall, the locations and timing of the tour was good, though we would have liked more time at Omaha Beach to visit the museum. We had 20 minutes total there. As a plus, our guide was intelligent and cared.

The tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable. Great content and fantastic small group. We saw as much as possible in the two days and the tour guide kept us away from the general crowds and that was the best.

Wonderful tour! The guide was knowledgeable and kept things interesting. The stop of Honfleur which is a quaint fishing village had wonderful seafood at the fish market. Of course Mont Saint-Michel and the D-Day memorials/beaches/ cemetery was the highlight and what we went for and did not disappoint.

Leila, our English and Spanish speaking guide, did a wonderful job. She was very knowledgeable sharing historical and cultural information in a pleasing manner. We liked the itinerary and places we visited. The bus ride returning to Paris was a little too long, however.

Visiting Saint Malo & mount Saint Michel with their spectacular Abady. Omaha beach was very emotive. We have very little time to shop souvenirs or to enjoy by ourselves the places. Our tour guide Leonor was very nice and kind but the bus driver was very rude and grinch

I want to start this review with our tour guide, Amelia, was very good. She was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. I would have liked less time at the two towns we stopped at on the first day and more time at Omaha Beach. We had 15 minutes which seemed like not enough time. Perhaps incorporate more than one beach? The second day was great at Mt St. Michael. Plenty of time to explore and see the entire area. The coach was comfortable and the hotel was nice after a long day of travel. My only suggestion would be to spend more time on the beaches.

This is hard because it was all pretty incredible. Honfluer was such a cool surprise, so beautiful, calm, and charming. Mount Saint Michel was spectacular but the view from a distance was more impressive than actually being inside (in my opinion). The hotel in Caen was fine, nothing special, but we were so tired all we needed was a good meal and a comfortable bed which it had! Our tour guide was so warm and friendly and had lots of fun tips, it was very well organized.
