The Pegasus Memorial was well worth the visit, and I recommend it to anyone interested in the events of the day. The artifacts were excellent, including both an intact and a less-than-intact Horsa. Good to see the beaches of the British sector

Our tour was fantastic and our tour guide Rose was brilliant. So much knowledge of the area and we were not rushed and got to see all the sights we expected. Highly recommend!

So much detail at all of the sites and still developing some sites. Parking not an issue enjoyed time on the sandy beach.

We went on a half day guided tour of the British sectors of Normandy for D-day (Sword beach, Airborne ops, and the Merville Battery). Adrien was our driver of the van and kept us safe on the road. His knowledge of the historical events and factual tidbits was very helpful and made the tour interesting. I appreciate his humor, and now have a much better understanding for the other Allied forces contributions on June 6th, 1944.
