Hello,

I'm Martin Reeve. I'm the one who organises and conducts the tours Normandy Safaris. I'm the one you shoot!
Welcome to the Normandy Safaris web site.

Normandy Safaris has been operating now for 8 years. A very personal service for those who enjoy travelling. We started in the Spring of 2001 with very bright prospects. Who would have dreamt of the apalling catastrophe of 9/11 in the same year? And the effect it would have on the rest of the world.
Well. We're still here. And, looking forward to meeting you.

This past year has been particularly difficult with the global financial crisis. And so money is, generally, tight. If that is the case then look no further. We offer you a memorable and enjoyable vacation at still affordable prices. A vacation upon which you will be able to reflect with a smile. And, will be able to save.
Save on last year's price:- As the dollar has strengthened against the Pound Sterling American travellers will find that dollar costs have decreased on last year's 2008 price.

There are, of course, other operators who can offer you D-Day Tours. They have very professional websites and attempt to dissuade you from using, or even looking at, their competitors. We have a simple website that, we hope, is easy to navigate and which gives you all the information you should require. We would encourage you to look at the competition, because there isn't any. There is no-one who offers you the same, or similar, package as Normandy Safaris.
Anyone can read a book. And that is what we encourage you to do before you come and join us. We will take you to the places where history unfolded, so that you can relate those things you read, or had previously heard about, with the landscape you will see. From that starting point we will be able to discuss and debate the problems the allies had when they came to liberate the French. And, even more interestingly, the problems the Germans had once the allied armies had gained their foothold.

So. It's time for you to think about your vacation and to escape the trials and tribulations of this worrisome world.
Come to a quiet part of the globe where people are very happy to see you.
Spend 5 nights in the calm depths of the lush Normandy countryside and see some of the facinating history from mediaeval to present times.

This is where 'Small Group' travel means 'small group' travel. You will be in a group of no more than 6 people.
You should be able to find all the information you require in this site. If, however, you do not or, have any questions please do not hesitate to send an e-mail and ask.

VALUE FOR MONEY     Even with the fluctuations in currency values, we try to give you one of the best deals. The cost includes pick-ups and drop-offs, 5 nights accommodation, breakfasts, evening meals (apart from two, when we shall eat out late), and all touring in Normandy. The only times you will need to spend some money are; two evening meals, lunches - which are usually picnics, and entrance fees.

OUR AIM is to give you an enjoyable and relaxing holiday where you have no worries about language or finding places. We want you to feel as if you have lived here with us, and to go home smiling. We want you to be so enthralled that you can't wait to tell your friends and show them your photos.

It costs nothing to ask

Most folk who go on Organised Tours are dragged from pillar to post, always having to keep to a strict timetable and not really knowing where they are. I believe that with a small group it is not only possible to visit the well known places (e.g. Bayeux Tapestry, Omaha Beach, Monet's Gardens), but also some of those 'off the beaten track'. It is also possible to be flexible and more relaxed.
It is infinitely more rewarding for travellers to return home feeling that they they have lived 'in' and experienced a region, albeit for a short time, rather than having viewed it from within a fishtank.

You are encouraged to bring casual clothing e.g. denims, tee-shirts, sweat-shirts, trainers etc. because for 6 days you will be living in Normandy.
Hopefully, we will have relaxing lunchtime picnics and eat-out in French Bistros. And on some days you may not get back to your accommodation until quite late at night.
You will return home not feeling as if you have been a tourist but part of the community.

There is now a Normandy Safaris 'Clients Page' where our clients can put up a few photos and comments.
It should be a help to those who are looking for a tour and want some unbiased info.

If you wish to receive referrals; clients e-mail addresses will be supplied to you upon request.

And, don't forget. It still costs nothing to ask.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
