Marie made our trip so fantastic. Answered so many questions for us and we Left knowing so much. It was just the four of us so it felt very personable. I loved how we ended our tour viewing the entire Omaha beach. We would highly recommend Marie as a guide. It was an experience we will never forget.

My husband and I enjoyed a day touring the beaches of Normandy with Helene. She was very knowledgeable about the events that occurred at each location and the locations were well selected to give a broad overview of the American operations on D-Day. In addition, having a guide who knows where to go and where to park for each location really maximized our time and the private tour format allowed us to choose the pace. This very educational day ended with the solemn experience of watching the flags lowered to the playing of taps at the American Cemetery.

Noemie was a wonderful guide, who showed us the most important and impactful sites. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared many insights and stories about the D Day landings.

Marie was wonderful. She took us to all the Normadie sites and explained all the historical activities. With the 80th celebration of D-Day, Marie took us around the crowds and to all the important sights. Thank to Marie, our tour was impressive

Our guide, Jack, was excellent! He gave us all the details, stories, and insights! He also handled our family so well and made our kids feel so welcome and comfortable. We were allowed time to do a few small kid items as well as squeeze in all the history. It was wonderful.

Jack picked us up at our hotel and gave us a private 9 hour tour of the D Day battlefields and cemeteries. Jack was highly knowledgeable, friendly, organized, completely fluent in English and French. Jack suggested that we start our day with an expansive view of Omaha Beach at low tide to see it as it was on the morning of the landings. As someone who is quite knowledgeable about WWII, i learned a lot. We especially enjoyed hearing many of the personal stories of the soldiers. Highly recommend you get Jack as a guide.

To walk on “Bloody Omaha” Beach where so many sacrificed their lives was extremely moving. Same with the cemetery. To be there and to envision the scenes from 80 years ago was so incredible. Our guide Brice was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, helpful and fun. He shared so many insights that were very helpful. I have read a lot about WWII but my wife and daughter had not. He was wonderful at balancing speaking to all of us. Highly recommend this tour and Brice!!

Jack_O

We booked this tour for a group of 4 approximately four months in advance and with a few mistakes (on my behalf) the team were so helpful in helping me rectify and find solutions for my mistakes. We later then requested to add an additional two travellers onto the tour which again the team were more then happy to facilitate this. Couldn't be better or easier.... Our guide picked us up from out hotel and off we went for a full on nine hour tour of what he had suggested and we agreed was satisfactory locations to visit. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and answer any question we asked in great detail. After a great lunch and a fantastic day we was dropped back in the town centre as requested for nice glass of wine and a group debrief. Would definitely recommend this tour and company as a whole. Brilliant !!!!!!
