D-Day Tour Guide of Normandy—beaches/memorials/band of brothers/American cemetery - What a wonderful, extremely qualified and knowledgeable D-Day tour guide. Not only did he give an incredible tour which was on our bucket list, but he was patient and kind with us. Opening doors, providing umbrellas and simply just sweet. His knowledge opened all of our eyes and gave us an elevated experience of the most historic day in history. We will be recommending him to all of our close friends and family for sure! Thank you so very much!

Great tour and tour guide - all first class - Our tour guide Boy was incredible. A perfect combination of professionalism and yet very personable. Boy was very knowledgeable of the history to properly allow our small group to experience Normandy. I would give Boy and Neptune my highest recommendation

Absolutely AMAZING!! - This private American D-Day guided tour with Boy Eysbroek was perhaps the most comprehensive and informative tour I have ever been on anywhere in the world! Boy met our party of 5 at Cherbourg cruise terminal, spent the entire day, roomy, comfortable van. Boy was a veritable encyclopedia of relevant and interesting details regarding D-day, the beaches, the landings, the battles, the whole thing. Personable, engaging and attentive, with a great delivery. Our first stop was Ste Mere Eglise and that stop alone made the trip worthwhile. We spent plenty of time there and at each subsequent stop. We knew we had chosen wisely when we were at Ste Mere Eglise and we witnessed a string of tour buses (no doubt from ship) come and go with barely enough time for those folks to even get off and on the bus before it moved on. Had a wonderful lunch at local establishment.

The best way to see history of the events of June 1944! - Our cruise ship stopped her in early November and we wanted to see the D-Day memorials but didn't want to book a large bus tour. Are we ever glad we booked this tour! Boy was a great guide and took us places that we could have not gone with a tour bus. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate above the events that lead up to and after the invasion. Probably the best part was taking us to the American Cemetery an hour before closing so that we could see the lowering of the flags and the playing of taps. A fitting way to end an amazing day
