This is a fantastic tour, given by people who are extremely passionate about the history of the area and especially the WWII era. Amandine was our tour guide, and we were astounded at her vast knowledge of the subject matter. She took us to several sites, gave us time to snoop around and take pictures, and filled us in on every aspect of what took place at the sites we were looking at. When she is not guiding tours, she is volunteering at local tourism bureaus and special events pertaining to WWI and WWII history. This is a lady who knows her stuff and wants to share this knowledge of her homeland and heritage. You will come away from this tour enriched with new knowledge. We were there with grandparents and kids ages 11 and 13, and everyone enjoyed the tour, and the chauffered drive around the French countryside.

Vincent was a spectacular tour guide. Our jeeep tour took us down paths not wide enough for a car. We stood on the spot where the June 6th invasion began. Traveled to Omaha and Gold beaches as well as other spots. Invents in-depth, detailed narrative was over the top comprehensive.

The historic significance of visiting two days before D Day was significant. The tour guide was superb.

My husband and I have been excited about this tour for a very long time. We finally got here for his 71st bday. Our tour of Normandy did NOT disappoint! We got the best guide! Lucas was excellent!
