Normandy Ww2 Classic Jeep Tour

Eric was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He speaks perfect English which was very important to us. He had a great personality coupled with a deep knowledge of all things related to Normandy and its importance to WW2. Riding in the authentic jeep was an extra bonus.

Amazing tour guides and the jeep is a very cool experience. Would highly recommend!!

This was a perfect way to see Normandy. The driver was excellent, he gave us insight, showed maps of the battle and was very passionate about the details of history.

Excellent tour in the jeep and very easily adjusted as we had already done some of the tour by ourselves. Great knowledge and would definitely recommend.

This tour was amazing! We had Amondine as our guide, and she was fabulous. She is clearly very passionate about history, and made the day so enjoyable. The jeep was very cool, and in excellent condition. Our lunch was excellent. We really enjoyed seeing all the beaches, and learning a bit more of the history. I’d highly recommend this tour.

It was a great tour with many amazing views, tons of history surrounding operation overlord and a lot of fun.

I travelled to Normandie with my 14 yo son to see WWII historical sites and to learn. We wanted to do a Classic Jeep Tour and I definitely chose well by booking with GoldBeach. We were so fortunate to have gotten Eric as our expert guide and smooth “double-clutcher”. He gives tours but I see that WWII history - preserving this knowledge and teaching it - is his true passion. It showed through on this tour, as we drove back roads through the French countryside and he spoke of individuals and waves of men fighting there, the challenges they faced, and the overall strategy for taking the German strong holds. Eric was able to make the story come alive with the landscape. I’d recommend the afternoon tour as the sun was golden in the fields and off the memorials in the cemetery. We went to the British Cemetery as he tailored our tour based on places we wouldn’t see the next day on another tour. We were taking. However, it was this tour that was so interactive and memorable. W60 was a strong hold on Omaha that he took us to. Also unique to this tour, my son and I loved going into the tunnels and mortars there and going into the woods to check out a gun post. Eric was so personable; having discussions with him was a pleasure for me and my son.

The guide Adrian was VERY GOOD with his knowledge and experiences. On off a guide that loves his work, and do it professionally.

Be prepared to let the driver know what you've seen and what you would like to see. My spouse didn't bring a hair tie, which would've helped. Our driver Phillip was terrific and did a great job getting off the main roads of tourists to give us a unique experience.

The owner gave us the tour. The tour was absolutely amazing. It was a learning experience and included an authentic jeep ride through the back roads. So much fun! 100% recommend.

Vincent arrived at our hotel to pick us up on the dot. The previous day we had visited the American landing beaches and Pointe du Hoc, followed by the American Cemetery. So our request for the Jeep tour was to visit the British landmarks. Vincent tailored our next 4 hours perfectly. The Jeep ride was incredible, as Vincent took us "off-piste" to see sights the group tours wouldn't get to. The day was glorious so the open top ride in the Jeep was fabulous. Vincent is a local and his family having suffered the German occupation had real stories to tell. He imparted lots of his knowledge to us, information that isn't in the guide books. The whole experience was utterly memorable. When we booked we knew we were spending a sizeable chunk of money but after the tour we said it was worth every penny and more. Vincent gave us real value for money and we would recommend this experience to anyone. D-Day and all the logistics in the planning came to life. Thanks for a lifetime experience Vincent.

We did this on our first day in Normandy and it was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great trip. Plus riding around in an authentic Willis jeep made it even more memorable. I highly recommend you put it on your to-do list if you’re coming for a visit!

I booked this as a surprise for my 12 year old son who was thrilled to travel around in the jeep. Our guide, Vincent, was brilliant throughout with lots of detailed information that we would never have got had we gone on our own. Yes its expensive but a real experience. Thanks guys

A very interesting tour - for all ages. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and included many real life stories to help illustrate the DDay landings for my teenaged daughter. Riding in the WW2 jeep was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience and tour guide. Would highly recommend. Took us to spots off the beaten track and gave us time to look around each spot.

What a wonderful experience. Pickup at our hotel was right on time. We had seen some of the sights in a previous tour so David quickly came up with a new plan for sights to see. Riding through the beautiful Normandy countryside in an open top WW2 jeep was a thrill.

The 1942 WWII jeep was an incredible experience! Our guide,Vincent, was knowledgeable with the areas history, taking us off the road at some points. He really gave us a day to remember! We highly recommend this adventure to all!

I cannot say enough good about this tour. We were in France for 10 days and this was the highlight of our trip. Thomas was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and engaging. He even found information on my grandfather who was a ranger on Dday. The amount of time was perfect . So much better than a large group tour and the WWII jeep was an additional feature that we loved

Awesome, detailed, friendly, history knowledge was incredible. Igor was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We will definitely return to Normandy for on of his tours. He is the best!!!

Had an amazing half-day private jeep tour from Bayeux, a few days before attending the D-Day ceremonies at the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach. We visited the various locations made famous on D-Day with guides Almadine and David who were wonderful in explaining the significance of each location. The jeep tour got us all the more excited for the ceremonies, once we had a better understanding of what happened. Thank you, Almadine and David, for your enthusiasm, warmth and knowledge!

Amazing tour of the Normandy coast in our WWII Jeep! You get to travel back in time and explore the battles of D-day! It was powerful and emotional to walk the beaches where our brave men fought! With this tour I got visit the grave of my young cousin that was killed in this battle at the Normandy American Cemetery! Would highly recommend this Jeep tour! Our guide did an amazing job!

This tour was worth every penny. Sitting in an authentic military vehicle gave us a better perspective and visualization of the entire tour. Vincent gave a thorough explanation of the historical events of Dday and combined it with interesting stories of people's real life occurrences during the war. The photos he showed gave us a visusl of the sacrifices endured. His ability to provide the technical aspect of the artillary was helpful in understanding the history that occured. As we came upon the hedge rows, he stopped the jeep to explain the german tactics for destroying the column which gave us a feel for what it was like. We would highly recommend this tour for those that want a boots on the ground understanding of wwii.

This was the best and engaging tour my family went on during our time in Normandy. The guide was informative, we never felt rushed and everyone loved riding in the jeep. It was a very emotional trip and at the end of the tour we made it for the TAPS ceremony in the American cementary which was very moving.

The tour was amazing! Got to see many of the significant locations from the D-Day invasion with a great guide in an awesome original “Willy” Jeep. David is a knowledgeable, multilingual, friendly guide who made sure the tour went great. Highly recommend!

Absolutely AMAZING !!!!!! Most definitely worth it. This trip is fantastic! !!!!!!! Very informative fun and quite moving in parts. We had Eric for our guid, he was a warm and bubbly Canadian who made the trip what it was. He was very knowledgeable about the whole aspect of WWII. Eric picked us up in his Willys Jeep, after a warm welcome and introduction we were off on our adventure. On the way to our first stop Eric took us off the beaten track down some amazing off road cut through tracks that were used by the soldiers during the war. At each stop Eric explained all the history and part each place played in the war. The weather was atrocious but was soon forgotten with the true nostalgia of the trip. This is a tour like no other that is not to be missed, highly recommended.

Our guide, Vincent was great! So knowledgeable and friendly! Our favorite day so far in France! The amount we learned about the day landings was incredible!

Great tour with Vincent and David in 2 jeeps with our 3 girls (10,10,8). They were very friendly knowledgeable and flexible to work with. The open air jeep ride was great and the visit to Omaha beach and the cemetery was moving

What an amazing experience. My son and husband love history and this tour definitely fueled their passion. David is an amazing tour guide, providing information, and answering questions. Driving in a WW II keep through the backroads is a one of kind experience. After reading the reviews, I had high expectations and David surpassed them. A must do tour.

What an incredible day we had! Learning about the history of this special place from the view of 1946 Jeep was just so amazing. Vincent gave us an afternoon that we will never forget. He is passionate about what he does and it’s evident in his tours. Incredible day, highly recommend!!

We had an outstanding tour experience with Gold Beach Company on October 21, 2022. Our guide Vincent was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the D-Day landings. Vincent was waiting at the Bayeux train station for my wife and me in his Willys Jeep when we arrived from Paris. We spent the next four hours with him visiting Arromanches, Longues sur Mer battery, Omaha Beach, and the US military Cemetary and Memorial. Tremendously worthwhile and moving. A highlight of our trip.

The jeep tour was worth every penny! Arnold was a great guide. His knowledge was on point and we learned more on this trip about the invasion and how the Allied forces started their effort to free France.

The trip was phenomenal. Everyone on the big tour buses that we saw was envious that they hadn’t chosen the jeep tour. Our tour guide Kate was so knowledgeable and passionate about The invasion and shared stories from her own families history living there for generations. Going through the villages and back roads gave you a look back in time that the big buses just can’t because of their size. It was a wonderful day on a original WW2 jeep and would recommend this trip 100%.

Eric, our guide, was outstanding. Knowledgeable and fun. The ride is bumpy, to be sure, but the experience is poignant, and important. Highly recommend.

It was an awakening experience to see where the D-Day invasion took place. Riding in the jeep made it very special, getting a better perspective of what the soldiers of both the Allies and the Germans where experiencing. Our driver, Arnold, was very knowledgeable about the invasion giving us a better understanding of what took place that day.

I booked 2 WW2 jeeps with Gold Beach Company for 6 people. We scheduled a private 9 hour tour. All 6 of us listed this tour of Normandy as the highlight of our entire European vacation, which included 3 other countries and some other amazing experiences. Vincent (one of the owners) and Eric were our tour guides and drivers. I've never sat in a Willys Jeep before, but this perfectly vintage one from 1943 was soooo much fun. We are all large men, and had a bit of trouble climbing in and out, the only drawback of the day. However, part of the day included driving off-road a bit, which again, was just pure fun. Now about the tour. Ask for Eric. He is the most amazing storyteller. It never felt like a rehearsed tour. He is Canadian, and had a close relative perish on D-Day, so his re-telling of the people and battles was personal and intimate. I could have listened to him for another 9 hours! We saw other bus tours along the way, and trust me, there is no other way to go than a small tour with Gold Beach.

Great trip with Vincent and Philippe yesterday. Very informative commentary. Brought history to life in a very clear and interesting way.

We had an amazing time! Phillippe was a great guide! He was really knowledgeable about D Day and world War ll in general. Do take a jacket, it get's chilly on the ride. I had on shorts and a tank top, he was nice enough to stop so I could buy a jacket. Seeing the cemetary and the American flag ceremony was very moving! It really puts it in perspective. Highly reccomend!

We went for the half day jeep tour with our awesome guide, Vincent. He was very knowledgeable and brought to life many of the key events of the D-day invasion. As a WW2 history buff, riding around in a vintage jeep was the coolest way to see the beautiful coastline and learn about one of the most important events in history. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the period.

Absolute best way to tour the coast, the wind in your hair the vintage ride and the beautiful French countryside need I say more?

The jeep experience, along with the excellent information and stories presented by our guide, Philippe took our D-day tour to a whole other level. I highly recommend this tour.

We took the half day trip with Vincent as our guide in April 2022. This trip is awesome. Vincent was very knowledgeable and we were able to visit the best sites in a totally unique way. Can't recommend this enough.

Vincent the tour guide was absolutely phenomenal. The depths of his knowledge about this war is limitless. The sites were amazing. And touring in the jeep was incredible

Wonderful experience. Kate was a wonderful guide, and shared her family stories. Cool that the WWII Jeep has been so well maintained. It was a cool morning in April; recommend warm attire!

Excellent guide who was extremely knowledgable about the area and history. Such fun being in this Gold Beach Adventures vehicle!

We spent 5 amazing days with our wonderful, experienced, and passionate guide Katell. The Jeep tours were one of my family’s favorite parts of the trip. It was such a unique way to learn and to experience Normandy and the countryside. We could really capture the essence of the beaches here.

I can not say enough about how amazing this experience was! We had a family of 6 including 2 children (15 and 11). Kate and Vincent made this such a special experience. The Jeep’s were an amazing way to get the experience of the troops and driving through the country side was unbelievable. And when I say driving through the country side it his was no tour on highways. You could truly understand the battles that would have taken place in the hedge rows. The supplemental information with pictures and Their knowledge was unbelievable. This made our trip to Normandy and I can’t recommend this tour enough. Additionally we did a trip to Mont St Michel which I will review in another post but is was amazing too. The service and attention to detail was perfect. Don’t miss this tour.

Wonderfully entertaining and instructive afternoon for the whole family. It's great to learn so much of what happened on D-Day on the actual locations, but the tour was also great fun for the little ones. And Vincent was a very knowledgeable and genuinely friendly guide.

It was an excellent tour and driving the Jeep was weary climatic there where also many interesting stories pictures and map I highly recommend it
