Everything was perfect. In the lead up the office was very flexible and engaged in helping us work out a bespoke itinerary to take in aspects of both the American and British sectors. Emmanuel, our tour guide, was very friendly and hugely knowledgable. Because there were only two of us (my son and I) it was very relaxed and we never felt overwhelmed with information. We could also be flexible on the day and Emmanuel gently suggested a couple of additional things to visit - which we are very glad we did. It was hugely enriching and certainly the best tour I've been on.

Great tour of D day beaches! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure our tour covered everything we wanted to see. What was extra special was the little details our guide was able to point out during the tour. Would recommend booking this tour to see the D Day beaches in Normandy.

This Private Tour was excellent, our tour guide/driver Laurianne was so knowledgeable and passionate about it. She did such a good job. We went to all the USA sites and the Cemetery was the highlight of our tour. I really recommend this tour to anyone.

J B our guide made this a wonderful experience. Only so much you can find out from film and print. He really painted a complete picture. Will highly recommend him to others.

RENO_R

Our guide picked us up at our hotel on time. He spoke to us about what we wanted to see and our plan for the day was made. He was very helpful and knowledgeable as we were moving around. He took us to a few places that he thought we would like and was very helpful in filling in the day with great sites. We spent some time at Utah and Omaha however Juno was our main interest. Money well spent on this tour.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of making sure that these weary travelers made the most of our time in the landing region.

Celine was an excellent guide, knowing key historic places and had had details and maps/pics to put them in context. We threw her a curve asking for a place for Calvados and she knew a small farm built in 12th century. All we hoped for. Thank you!

Loved the history. The overlord museum was fantastic! We had a picnic on Utah beach. The American cemetery was beautiful.
