What people love about Normandy Tours
- Journeys: Paris & Normandy Highlights National Geographic Journeys
We loved the itinerary and the extra sites we visited, also. Our CEO Alexiane did well. We would have like to hear more history of the places we saw. Alexiane took care to provide for the needs of individuals on our tour. That was especially helpful for me. Our bus driver, Frederick, was excellent and caring, too.
- The finest and most picturesque ports of call in the Seine valley (port-to-port cruise)
Spectacular cuisine and very scenic countryside. Helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
- WWII D-Day Landing Beaches & Battle of Normandy
This was the best guided tour that I have ever taken (other than cruise tours). This exceeded my expectations. The attention given us (as a group), the accommodations, the flow of the tour were all very well done. The days were busy. We saw a lot more in those four days than if I had attempted this trip on my own. I will be doing business with your company again, shortly.

Based on what our travelers tell us, Globus really delivers on the essentials - they plan routes well, pick great stops and keep things running smoothly day to day. Their guides Riccardo and Phillipe get a lot of praise from guests who appreciate their deep knowledge about each location and ability to handle the unexpected. The coaches are modern and comfortable which helps on longer travel days between cities. While the bus WiFi can be spotty at times (especially in mountain areas), most guests find the seats spacious and appreciate having charging ports at each seat. I hear consistently that it's the little touches that make Globus tours work so well - the guides adjusting plans based on the group's interests, finding those perfect lunch spots off the main squares and sharing fun local stories that you won't find in guidebooks. The company clearly puts effort into hiring guides who know their regions inside and out. Just keep in mind that like any group tour, you'll be traveling with others and following a set schedule. But Globus builds in enough free time for guests to explore on their own, grab dinner at local spots and take things at their own pace when possible.

The 5-day Paris and Mont Saint-Michel tours work well for budget-conscious travelers. You'll get good value with a 24-hour Big Bus pass in Paris - it's practical for seeing the Eiffel Tower and exploring Montmartre and also Sacré-Cœur whenever suits you. Our customers particularly like how these tours mix guided visits with independent time, especially at Mont Saint-Michel where you can take your time appreciating the medieval abbey architecture.
Seine river cruises offer a refined 7-10 day journey through Normandy starting from Paris, with stops in Giverny, Rouen and also Les Andelys. The small touches make these special - sipping evening cocktails while Paris lights up around you and visiting Monet's gardens before they open to the public. The ships dock right in town centers, so you can easily walk to sites like Rouen's 600-year-old astronomical clock. Many routes include private access to Richard the Lionheart's Château Gaillard and visits to family Calvados distilleries.

Small Group
6 tours in NormandyNormandy small-group tours keep things personal with just 8-12 travelers, creating space for meaningful interactions at historic sites. Our National Geographic journeys stand out because travelers get to handle actual WWII artifacts alongside war historians, bringing history to life. Local guides Philippe and Alexiane share both tactical context and personal stories of soldiers at Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, and other significant locations. The experience balances structured visits with independent exploration - you might join a wine pairing lunch in Paris, taste cider at family farms, or take a quiet afternoon to wander through medieval Bayeux. With fewer people in the group, conversations about D-Day sites become more engaging and thoughtful rather than rushed. It's also easier to get local tips from guides who live and breathe Normandy culture, whether you're looking for hidden bistros, charming cafes or authentic Norman experiences.

Normandy's charm unfolds differently when you choose between our Seine river cruises and cycling tours, both running for 7 days. The river journey starts in Paris and winds through Norman countryside, with good long stops at Monet's gardens in Giverny and the medieval city of Rouen - where you'll find that incredible 600-year-old astronomical clock. Our travelers love taking evening cruises under Paris's illuminated bridges and getting private tours of Chateau Auvers-sur-Oise. If you prefer two wheels, the cycling route from Brittany to Normandy takes you through quiet backroads and coastal paths. You'll pedal to Cancale for fresh oysters, follow the lovely Emerald Coast and finally reach Mont-Saint-Michel. The cyclists in our groups tell us they really enjoy how the route mixes seaside views, small Norman villages and historical sites into one active cultural experience.

Demographics
Our 4-5 day Normandy tours from Paris work really well for solo travelers, with small groups of 8-12 people that quickly become friends. Travelers often mention how much they enjoy sharing meals in local crêperies and walking through Monet's gardens in Giverny together. The schedule gives you structured activities but also leaves free afternoons to explore places like Bayeux's medieval center or take a relaxing walk on Deauville's boardwalk at your own speed.
Couples love our Seine Valley and château tours that blend Paris romance with Loire Valley exploration. The journey starts with dinner at the Eiffel Tower and includes excellent wine tastings throughout the Loire. Our travelers particularly enjoy quiet mornings in Giverny's gardens, followed by visits to magnificent castles like Chambord and Chenonceau. Evening Seine cruises past lit-up Paris monuments add perfect romantic touches. For more active couples, our village-to-village walking routes offer comfortable hotels and great restaurants to end each day.
Young adults click well with our biking and walking routes through Normandy. The days mix serious history with local culture - you might start with a military historian's D-Day talk then spend your afternoon tasting calvados at a family distillery. The Deauville to Bayeux walking route lets you set your own pace, while bike tours come with both regular and e-bike options. Our younger travelers say they really value having structured historical visits plus enough free time to find local cafes and experience modern French life.
Senior travelers consistently choose our well-paced tours that prioritize comfort without sacrificing cultural experiences. We base these groups in central Bayeux or Caen hotels to minimize travel time. Guides like Marie Claire get great feedback for their clear communication and attention to individual needs. The itineraries include historical sites, gardens and cultural visits at a comfortable pace. Having several two-night stays works well, and seniors appreciate being able to skip more active parts while still joining the key experiences.
Families connect deeply with Normandy's history through our D-Day Landing Beaches tours. Parents tell us their teens really engage with WWII stories, especially when guides like Philippe bring the events to life at Utah Beach and the American Cemetery. The D-Day Museum provides solid context, while kids get hands-on learning at the Pegasus Memorial. We've balanced the historical aspects with fun family moments - our groups love sharing dinner on Seine cruises and exploring the winding streets of Mont Saint-Michel together.

Best time to visit Normandy
- Summer 2025
Normandy shines brightest in summer, when our most popular tours blend D-Day history with authentic French culture. These carefully crafted 8-day experiences start with morning visits to historic sites when the lighting creates perfect photo conditions, followed by afternoons exploring medieval towns and gardens in full bloom. Our guides Philippe and Marie Claire consistently adapt the pace to match weather conditions and group dynamics. Many routes kick off with an Eiffel Tower dinner on the first floor, then continue to Giverny's gardens, which showcase their most vivid colors during summer. The D-Day focused itineraries include privileged early access to Utah Beach and the American Cemetery, while incorporating tranquil Seine cruises past illuminated Paris monuments in the lingering summer light. Our travelers tell us they particularly value how these summer routes balance structured visits with independent time to wander through Bayeux's medieval heart or stroll at leisure through Monet's color-filled gardens. Groups often have the opportunity to participate in memorial ceremonies during June visits, adding depth and meaning to their Norman journey.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Normandy comes alive in autumn with comfortable temperatures and quieter sites along our routes. Seine cruises in the fall draw high marks, especially during evening cocktails as Paris shifts into its autumn glow. Small-group D-Day tours led by expert guides Philippe and Marie Claire work perfectly in the cooler weather, giving visitors time to absorb the powerful history of these beaches. Mont Saint-Michel reveals its true medieval character under clear autumn skies, offering photographers ideal conditions for capturing the abbey. Our combined cycling and walking tours shine during harvest season, as Norman villages buzz with activity - you'll visit cider farms at peak production, and wander through colorful foliage on paths connecting Paris, Giverny and Rouen. Our travelers tell us that autumn's relaxed atmosphere lets them fully discover both the major landmarks and those hidden local gems that busier summer visitors tend to overlook.

- Spring 2026
Spring is when Normandy's gardens really come alive, and our tours make the most of it. We start in Paris with dinner at the Eiffel Tower's first floor restaurant before heading to Giverny where Monet's gardens show their first colors. Our guides Philippe and Marie Claire know every detail about both the D-Day beaches and Loire Valley castles. Mont Saint-Michel works particularly well in April and May - the weather's just right for the climb up to the abbey and you get clear views across the bay. The Loire Valley part includes wine tasting sessions where you'll learn about their impressive production of over 320 million bottles each year.
