Thierry gave us an excellent tour of the British and Canadian beaches. We enjoyed seeing the pictures taken during D-Day and how it compared to present day. The tour was complete and we got to see Pegasus Bridge, the landing areas and the towns along the way. Thierry brought the stories to life. We could imagine the time 80 years ago when the real invasion happened. Thank you, Thierry!

For me Pegasus Bridge was the highlight, the allied cemeteries are also a humbling experience. Best thing we ever did getting a private guide, expensive but worth every penny. We covered so much stuff in a day which let us decide where to visit again and best use of the rest of our time. Our guide Boy was amazing, would thoroughly recommend you seek him out!
