Normandy D-Day Beaches with Juno Beach, bunkers & Canadian Cemetery from Paris

Never Forget

Small 8 person tour of Juno Beach. HP was our guide. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. Very memorable day. This tour is a must for all Canadians.

Exciting day of learning and adventures!

We had a wonderful day and Aaron was fantastic! We learned so much on our tour and are so grateful to see the sites of such important history.

A Memorable Day at Juno Beach.

We had a great guide/driver. She had lots of interesting facts about the various sights we visited. The presentation at the Canadian Juno WWII memorial was well done and the final film presentation was very moving and emotional.

Pretty Good

The tour was very well done. The only disappointing aspect was that for lunch, we purchased a take out sandwich at a gas service station and ate it the van, rather than stopping at a local restaurant and sampling the local fare, as advertised.

Normandy Tour

Despite some of the challenges due to the 80th celebrations, our guide Aaron was an exceptional asset to our experience. He went above and beyond ensuring we enjoyed our time and made every effort to share his knowledge and his wonderful sense of humour.

Tour was average. Normandy is breathtaking and worth the trip!

Your was ok. The beach, cemetery and gun emplacements were profound to see and Normandy itself is beautiful and worth the trip to see the quaint villages and countryside. The pick up place was well organized and the driver made sure we had a stop along the way since it was almost three hours of driving there and back. Driver/guide new the basics. Our food choice was a long fast food queue at the museum. We wasted time going to a cider house which did not seem to have a WW2 connection. I would also avoid the overlord museum if it’s crowded. The information provided by blue fox before the trip could have been better. The lunch choice could have been more carefully thought through and we wasted a lot of time at the museum and with the cider house.

Wonderful and moving...

Wonderful and moving experience. Aaron was very professional, informative and personable. He made our day very enjoyable

Very knowledgeable and patient tour guide

Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient. He gave us as much time as we needed to pay our respects to our fellow fallen Canadians. I really appreciated that.

Juno Discovery!

Our Tour Guide H.P. was amazing! We were kept informed of the history of the area and of Juno. Our guide H.P. was extremely helpful and went above and beyond, to ensure we had a wonderful experience on this tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

I was very moved by all...

I was very moved by all the information that our tour guide provided us. Our tour guide was very pleasant and professional. The pick up and drop off was excellent.

Extremely memorable day....

Extremely memorable day. Wonderful guide. Can’t say enough about this day trip. Our guide HP was very passionate about the trip and ensured we had a wonderful day. One of the best day trips I’ve been on.

Juno Beach Tour AMAZING!

Brunhilde was an amazing guide! She took time and care with us, one family member was in a wheelchair and Brunhilde saw to that she was comfortable and safe. She was informative, fun and so charming! Thank you for making these Canadians so proud and we felt privileged to share it with you! I wasn’t prepared for how emotional this tour was going to be.

A tour company you can trust

We did the Normandy/Beaches/American Cemetary tour and loved our tour guide. Good company. Easy to deal with and punctual. We later decided to cancel the trip to Mont St. Michel (more than 24 hours in advance) and funds were immediately returned to my credit card - true to their word. I would recommend this company.

An emotional and unforgettable experience!

Words cannot begin to describe how incredible this day was for me and my Mom. Nic, our guide, was so accommodating, friendly, and detail oriented. His warmth and kindness shone throughout the day and made the trip even more special. As someone with family history of Canadian soldiers who fought in France in WWII, I thought I knew a lot. But Nic had so much knowledge to share, and delivered it in a passionate and respectful way. Nic, the Juno Beach Centre, the beautiful family maintaining the Canada House, the town of Courseulles-sur-Mer, I cannot thank enough for an unforgettable day. It was an emotional and life changing experience that we will never forget. Merci beacoup!

Nick was the Best tour guide

Nick was absolutely the best tour guide that we could ever ask for. He was very cheerful and informative. I would highly recommend him.

GREAT experience!!!!!!!

Besides the venue and the tour itself our tour guide Nick was exceptional. He provided so much added value. Wit, knowledge, courtesy and thoughtfulness. Seeing the Canada house, the beach, the museum as well as the guided tour of the bunker and beach was very informative and meaningful. My wife and I cannot imagine having a better experience than we had. A must see with this your company for sure

Better experience than I expected.

If you want a scripted tour, this isn't for you. Our guide Nic was informative, answered questions, and was interactive with all of the guests. There were parts of the tour I wasn't expecting, in a good way. It is a long day, but I appreciated the varied information and the relevance. This isn't a generic tour, it is specifically for Canadians.

Proud to be Canadian

Our guide Nic was very knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. We had ample time to see all of the sites, the trip was everything we had hoped for.

Normandy for me was very...

Normandy for me was very special because my Dad operated a landing barge on D-Day. Seeing it in person was overwhelming. Making it even better was having our guide, Will, provide us with background information on the landing.

Fantastic Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The day went by very quickly. Our guide Aaron was wonderful. He's so knowledgeable! Thank you for allowing me to visit such an important place in Canadian history.

Very humbling and educational for all Canadians

Juno Beach and Centre, Beny sur Mer Cemetary and Abbey d'Ardenne were all very poignant and humbling. Every Canadian should learn about, and if possible visit, these sights to fully appreciate the horrors of war and the sacrifices made for others in the name of freedom.

Important for Canadians to visit and recognize the sacrifices!

So important to see how Canada played a pivotal role in the war. To walk on the beach that soldiers came to shore on Juno Beach makes you realize they were true heroes sacrificing their life and safety for others. Juno Beach Centre is an incredible compilation of details from the war that needs to visited and observed. It was sad to see the grave sites of many Canadians who died fighting for their country and it was difficult to read how young they were. But it was beautiful to see each grave with flowers being tenderly cared for. Thank you for a very informative day!

Excellent Normandy Tour

Excellent and knowledgeable guide. Aaron was passionate and truly knowledgeable about every aspect of the war from a British/Canadian perspective. We liked being on Juno Beach and also the Bunker tour. The museum was good too and grateful for Garth Webb who founded the museum and area.

A must for every Canadian

We got lucky and it was just myself and my wife with our driver Lucas we had the whole van to ourselves lol , but what a great tour its something that I've always wanted to visit and it was very humbling to see where our soldiers and allies landed and fought , was nice to see the Canadian flag spread throughout and we enjoyed the museum it brought tears to my eyes watching the video and knowing how France still remembers by sending schools to visit the sights and listen to the video it was very touching the cemetery was very peaceful and well kept ❤💙 great memories that i will always keep.

A must for Canadians

This was a very good tour, and our host Will, was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. The Juno museum was very well run, and the other sites were touching to visit. We would have preferred more in depth explanation at some sites- but others on our tour weren’t interested, so I think we missed out. Otherwise, definitely recomend!

Thumbs up for Aaron

Aaron was a great tour guide. We appreciated all his knowledge and he made the trip enjoyable. Highly recommend Aaron.

Very moving experience

Phenomenal and very moving experience at Juno Beach despite the cold, rainy and windy weather. The Canadian guide at The Juno Beach Centre was so knowledgeable and was excellent at providing historical facts. Tour operator guide Will was mediocre. He was nice at start of day but was short when asked questions by tour participants towards end of day. Poor restaurant choice by Will for the lunch (a few others in the group also felt the same and had a hard time choosing a meal). We opted to find a different restaurant and enjoyed our meal. At the end of the day, we were dropped off a few blocks away from the morning pickup point because the driver said he didn’t want to sit in traffic.

Amazing experience !

Our tour guide Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and professional, he also was quite the comedian (when appropriate). We had an amazing time! Thank you!

We had a beautiful day in Normandie

Despite the heavy rain when we left Paris, Clement, our guide, did an incredible job at recreating what it could have been like for our soldiers on the D’day beaches. I have a relative buried in a Canadian cemetery and Clement reworked the day so we could go there instead of the one that was planned. His thoughtfulness and knowledge really added to our experience. My 15-year-old got more out of a few hours here than weeks in her Canadian History classroom. Thank you so much for making our day so moving.

Excellent tour guide!

Our tour guide was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us informative history info on the drive to Juno beach and when arrived gave us ample time to venture out on our own with recommendations of where to eat for lunch. We really enjoyed our experience and highly recommend the tour!

Everyone should do

The guide (Philippe) went above and beyond to give us the best experience! Friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent driver!!

Juno Beach!

Thank-you Philipe, you were absolutely lovely. Our trip to Normandy was educational and moving. You went over and above to make this trip special for the entire group. I would recommend this trip to everyone and hopefully you will be lucky enough to get Philipe as your host. For lunch we ate at La Pêcherie in Courseulles-sur-Mer.... Absolutely the best food we have had in France so far.

5 stars plus

Wonderful trip to Normandy Sara our guide was excellent Transport was comfortable Busy day which included many of the key D Day historic sites from bunkers to Omaha Beach, Colleville cemetery Museum and Pointe d’Hoc. When you add a super lunch good company and fine weather you can understand why this tour gets 5 stars from me Would love to go again tomorrow “They gave their young lives so we could be free”

CANADA REMEMBERS

What an amazing tour! Our guide Jonathan was very polite and knowledgeable He took the time to make sure our journey was enjoyable. He arrived right on time, the tour van was clean and comfortable. Proud to have honoured our soldiers who served.

Loved the full day your.

Will, our guide, was so gracious and kind. Very informative and well-educated for our tour. We were lucky to have this tour all to ourselves. Normandy was on our bucket list and Viator-Will did not disappoint. I highly recommend this tour. The vehicle was well-equipped and comfortable for a full-day tour.

Normandy and DDay

Nick was very knowledgeable about Normandy, DDay and the history of the region. The time was well spent. I recommend Nick was a tour guide.

Great experience! Great guide!

Due to the season, we ended up with a personal tour as my partner and I were the only participants to Juno Beach. Our guide William was personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a great day with a great guide.

Once in a lifetime experience

The whole trip was memorable. I have always wanted to go and the experience is something I will always remember. Our guide Lisn was amazing her stories and pictures added to our understanding what happened. The visit to the beach, cemetery and the Abby are heart breaking.

A memorable experience

Very much recommend this tour! My guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge of D-Day and WW2 that went beyond what you would expect. He took us to see important memorials off the beaten track and helped find the name of someone’s missing friend.

Juno Beach was awesome!

This your was amazing and touching! We are so happy to have had this experience. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Would highly recommend

Johnathan was our guide and he did a great job of explaining the history of the site without making it boring or like a school lecture. A very sobering and informative day. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely Worth It For Any Canadian Tourist

I booked this tour as part of a solo trip to France and it did not disappoint. Our guide / driver Guillaume was incredible, he was remarkably friendly, informative, and took great care of us from the very start to the end of the tour. The tour leaves at 7am so be prepared to wake up super early to reach the meeting point, but you can nap on the drive so bring a pillow if anything. The tour itself is fantastic, first stopping on Juno at the Canada House before going to the Juno Beach Centre which includes a guided tour of the German bunkers followed by the museum (be sure to watch the video at the end of the museum). After some free time to get lunch and walk along the beach you go to the Canadian Cemetery in Bény Sur Mer where you will can walk amongst the graves of the soldiers lost in Normandy. Finally, you stop briefly at Hells Corner and then the Abbey d'Ardenne which holds a memorial to Canadian soldiers massacred by the SS. Every stop on this trip was incredible, from walking on the beach where the Canadian forces stormed on D-Day, to the museum exhibits, to their resting place in the Cemetary, and the Abbey. The pacing felt very good, despite all the stuff we saw in one day I didn't feel rushed through any of it. Maybe for the museum you would need more time to read every exhibit but honestly that feels like every museum. If I ever have friends or family visiting Paris I will absolutely recommend this tour to them!

Memorable

Jonathan was awesome and so was Max at the bunkers! Being Canadian it filled us with pride and extreme appreciation for our freedom.

A must do!

It was a very moving experience! Our guide Brun, was exceptional! She made sure we were all comfortable and shared her knowledge and some personal history with us throughout our journey. We were very glad to have made this journey.

History comes alive with this Normandy day trip

Our host "Brune" was a fantastic tour guide. She had the knowledge and personal experience to make the day enjoyable and engaging. She created a memorable day for the attendees and I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour from beginning to end

A tour not to be missed!! Our tour guide Guillaume was excellent and made the trip! Thank you Guillaume for an excellent and impactful day, 5+ Star service and experience This experience was on our bucket list for some time and it’s difficult to put into words the experience, standing in the same place as our Canadian soliders. Thank you Guillaume and Blue Fox Tours for an unforgettable experience!

Moving Experience

As Canadians we felt it our duty to visit Juno Beach to pay our respects. We are very happy that we chose the Blue Fox tour. Our guide Aaron, a veteran himself, was knowledgeable, funny and shared in our appreciation of the ultimate sacrifice soldiers make. The tour is a full day with stops at the beach, Juno centre, bunkers, etc. We highly recommend this tour.

A must see for all Canadians visiting the area.

Our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, Brun took really good care of us and the Canadian cemetery was spectacular. Sad, quiet, dignified and very beautiful. Canada House was wonderful, Juno beach is also beautiful and serene.

Moving experience.

Tour to Juno Beach and other sites was a very moving and informative experience. Our guide, Neesa, was excellent, sharing tidbits of information about Paris as well as recounting the Juno experience for our Canadian soldiers. It was also nice to get out of Paris for the day and see another part of France. Highly recommend tour.

An awesome day-trip to Normandy/Juno Beach

This was an excellent day trip making a visit to Juno Beach, and other stops accessible from Paris with everything taken care of especially transportation, itinerary, etc. Kudos especially to our driver-guide, Lisa. She was awesome - friendly, informed, professional. Everything proceeded as outlined with a punctual well-organized departure, informed & interesting commentary, easy-going and comfortable schedule. Air-conditioned van was a must during heat-wave! I loved the time also for lunch where we could select where to eat - I scored at a fishmongers that also had a patio - a dozen fresh oysters & glass of Muscadet! I appreciated the reviews before booking and it lived up to all the positive reviews & high ratings. I highly recommend this visit and thank you Blue Fox & Lisa for an amazing day.
