This was our first trip to France and my wife and I had a wonderful time on our D-Day Beaches Tour! I am a big history buff and I was very impressed with our young tour guide Lisa. Lisa was extremely nice and knew her history of all the sites around the D-Day Beaches. My wife and I would highly recommend this tour! Laura was also wonderful and a lot of help when booking this trip!

To Laura and our friends at LinkParis,
We just returned from our trip to Paris which included our LinkParis.com planned visit to Caen, Normandy and the D-Day memorial tour. The trip to Normandy went perfectly and without a hitch. During our stay in Paris the day trip to Normandy was a perfect addition to our travels and a most memorable experience. The travel arrangements were perfect, the train trip was beautiful, the tour guide was intelligent, articulate and a great source of help, information with an interjection of humor every now and then. It was a perfect experience!
Thanks again!

I must admit, I was a bit leery of booking our trip to Normandy through LinkParis since I had never heard of the company before and didn’t know what to expect in terms of tour quality and organization. In the past, we have gone through larger tour companies with anywhere from 30-50 people crammed in a large bus. We were always left feeling frustrated with the sheer number of people and their “I’m going to be first no matted what” attitude and accompanying rude behavior. Our D-Day tour of Normandy was nothing like our past experiences. From the beginning stages of booking the tour via e-mail to our final goodbyes at the Caen station, our tour was professional, friendly, and well organized. Our group had 8 people and they were all very nice. Our guide, Sylvain, was charming, knowledgeable, and very personable with our group. Luisa (I think this was her name), whom we were only with during the transfer from the station to the Memorial Museum, was very friendly and organized. If you are in the process of researching companies for an excursion to Normandy (such as Cityrama or Paris Vision), I highly recommend going through Link Paris. Considering the high level of customer service we received and the number of sites we visited, they are very reasonably priced. Above all, they made our trip to Normandy one of the best memories of our stay in France. We will definitely use them again during future trips.

Hello Laura and John,
Our D-Day tour yesterday was terrific. Thanks for getting us in.
Also our guide, Karine, was truly superb (aka “vachement chouette”!).
She was very knowledgeable, flexible, charming and even adapted well to
our desires to chat in our fractured French instead of her own
excellent English. Please forward this message to Karine and to your
contacts at the Memorial. We really want to express our appreciation
to you all
Thanks again

Laura,
I have recovered from my trip and settled back into my regular routine (drats). I wanted to send you a note and thank you for the arrangements you made. All of the accomodations we made with you were top notch and went perfectly. The train rides were excellent and we loved the countryside.
I want to single out our tour of Normandy and the tour guide. The tour was wonderful – from the beaches to the bunkers to the US Cemetary it was an incredible experience. Additionally, Rosine (our tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire trip something my mother and I will never forget. The tour campany also helped us out with a small problem we had – my briefcase with our tour tickets was lost by the airline and they worked with us to make sure we still were on the tour and keep our experience from hitting any snags.
Once again thanks to Rosine, the tour company, and to you for making this trip something that we will never forget. I will be traveling back to France with my wife in a couple years and you can bet that my first call for any arrangements will be Link Paris!
Best Regards,
Nathan M

I wanted to follow up with you on our Normandy Tour.
This tour was wonderful, and we enjoyed it very much. It was a highlight of the visit for us and for my 14-year-old twin grandchildren. Our tour guide was terrific–a young woman named Marylin–she was very knowledgeable and personable.
I also got some informal advice when I talked with you on the phone, which was appreciated very much.
Very best wishes for continued success in your business!

Laura, Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful trip with Francois. He was a great guide. We took the train to Carentan, and he was right there to pick us up. We had a wonderful lunch in St. Mere Aglise, We enjoyed all the scenery small town. All of the sights he took us were just what we wanted to see. We were able to get an early train back to Paris as all of the restaurants would not open till later that night. Thanks for making all the arrangements. Pete and Barb

Laura, we just arrived back home and getting over jet lag!! Wanted to thank you for a most wonderful Normandy D-Day tour last Wednesday that we arranged through you. You were right about the train to Caen, very easy to access from St.Lazare. Our tour guide and museum staff member Arnaunt was great and when you next speak to the museum please tell them how pleased we were with him as our guide.
By the way, even though our hotel was located at the plaza Republique it still gave us full access to the transit system and we got around everywhere in just a short ride. The advantage to the neighborhood was we had the convenience of the local stores and a laundromat!!!!
Thank you for a great trip down history lane, it was everything we had hoped it would be!
Warmest Regards!

of fun and I will certainly recommend you outfit to anyone
interested. If you are interested in seeing it, I am including a link
