    I didn’t go to any of the places that I was told I was going to go to on the itinerary that was sent to me by my tour guide Claude. I spent 1451.00 on this trip since 3 of us were booked on this tour. I was looking forward to this trip for weeks! Not only did we not go to places that we were promised to go to an entire day of our vacation was wasted! Claude didn’t even offer us a bottle of water. It was an awful experience and I’ll never book through Aviator again.

    <p>Claude was a great guide -- we were the only ones on the tour so he was able to tell us not only about these WWII sites, but also some of the WWI sites in the area as well. It was a full day of touring, but so interesting. Even though it rained, the weather made the trip even more emotional -- we certainly had a better understanding of what our soldiers went through during these wars.</p>
