Informative and respectful insight experience - A wonderful guide Thierry, ushered us respectfully and informatively through an afternoon experience , that gave us some insights into the environment, the landing strategy, the dire situation, the human experience, sacrifice and the tragedy surrounding D Day. Under weather challenged circumstances, Thierry shared his knowledge and thought provoking approach to understand better, this critical and ultimately successful event of history.

An immersive adventure at the top! - We had an unforgettable experience with Vincent! Between fascinating historical stories, vivid anecdotes and the discovery of the emblematic sites of the D-Day landings, the 4 hours flew away without being aware. At the end, we still wanted so much we were captivated! Whether you’re just curious or a true history buff, rush with your eyes closed: you won’t be disappointed.
A huge thank you to Vincent for this memorable moment.

Go for the Gold! - We did two other tours with this company including a visit to Le Mont St Michel and British memorial and Utah Beach including the Caen Museum. Our guide, Julie, was outstanding. Her energy and enthusiasm for the history helped make this often difficult history come alive. She went above and beyond the basics infusing individualized tales of bravery and heroism. She also guided us in Rouen with a breadth of knowledge of its half-timbered houses, Gothic spires and of course, Joan of Arc.
We didn't miss a beat as she was always prompt and solicitous in all the right ways.

We loved it! - This tour was incredible and we loved every minute of it. Our guide, David, was also incredible. David shared amazing stories from veterans he spent time with and he is an expert in all things Normandy so it made the information feel personal and impactful. David took us to 3 different locations and we had time to explore on our own at each location. Such a beautiful tour and a highlight of our trip. The van was full with 8 of us (9 including David) but comfortable.

An amazing and extremely educational 1st class tour! A must do. - Our tour guide, Marion, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a very thorough and educational tour that was extremely informative and impressionable! She really went out of her way to give us a clear picture of how the battles occurred with many pictures and descriptions to guide our understanding. I highly recommend this 1/2 day tour that filled my heart with and soul with an impressionable picture of this historic, important time in our world history! I became teary eyed as I heard the taps playing with the flag being lowered at the view of the grave sites of our brave souls that have given their lives for the world’s hope of freedom fought against Authoritarianism and the deepest level of evilness! I highly recommend this tour❣️

Great informative Tour of Normandy from Bayeaux with Kate - This was a great tour! Kate was our guide she did an amazing job of telling the full story. We would go to the historic site and stand where the action took place. Kate was great about giving you perspective on what was happening in at the site as well as the backstreet of particular soldiers or leaders.
