The D-Day tour was the perfect way to see some of the most important sites in Normandy. Our guide, Roma, was so knowledgeable and informative. We would never have been able to understand the historical nuances of the different areas without her expertise.

We really enjoyed this small group tour. Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history with us. Be forewarned though- this place requires a lot of walking including uphill and stairs. We took our time and it was tiring but worth it!

Incredible Tour with a Spectacular Guide!
It's difficult to articulate how meaningful of an experience this tour was. We knew this tour would be a sobering experience, but Boy's connection to the Normandy region and the personal relationships he has built with many veterans resulted in a feeling of developing a more personal connection that was unexpected. We loved how Boy would guide us through each of the locations, giving us the history, pointing out interesting individuals and telling us their stories, and telling us how the monuments and resting grounds were developed and continue to be maintained. He would then allow us time to sit with that information, allowing us time to process. We were never rushed from location to location. This is a day that will stay with you long after you return home. If you're planning a trip to Normandy, this is the D-Day tour you should book!

Our guide, Lu, was...
Our guide, Lu, was wonderful - she was so knowledgeable about the history and evolution of Mont St-Michel and was able to answer each and every question. The tour was well-organized and with just the right pacing throughout the Abbey to be able to see and hear the significance of each room and construction. Top notch tour.

Excellent and Very Informative
Theo did a great job explaining in great detail the sites we visited. He was Extremely knowledgeable and presented in a very interesting way. If you are a fan of the Band of Brothers, then this is must tour for you. Small group(14) was perfect size. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour provided...
The tour provided excellent information about the subject matter. It blended history and the HBO show Band of Brothers very well.
Our guide Paul was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the subject and answered questions with ease. Paul was prompt and personable. He even made us a reservation for lunch for crepes and galettes, which were the best meal we’d had on our trip to France. Highly satisfied!

Wonderful day on the rock
Our tour guide, Manon, was great at explaining everything and was very informative and knowledgeable. Be aware that there are many steps to get up to the top of the Abbey, which was fine for us, but might be challenging for others. Fantastic views from the top and a very historical setting. Ate lunch at a restaurant and enjoyed the experience. It was a little crowded on Saturday, but not overwhelming. We had really good weather. Took the shuttle bus back-and-forth, which was crowded, but if you want to do more walking, it’s about a mile or more from the parking lot to the Abbey.

Excellent full day tour with fantastic guide
My wife and I did the full day group tour and we were lucky enough to be the only guests. I was impressed this company didn’t cancel the booking or try to merge us with another group. Our guide was there on time and displayed the same level of effort just for the two of us. Our guides name was Bryce and he was passionate and knowledgeable of the events that took place. He also allowed us to make changes along the way to ensure we got the best experience. The van was nice and clean with great air conditioning. I highly recommend the tour, this company and Bryce as a guide.

Nice Way to See Omaha Beach
We did about 20 to 30 miles bike ride from Bayeaux. Our guide Theo was lovely and the ride back along the cliff is beautiful. We saw things we wouldn’t have found on our own - the castle where the Nazis did their planning for the Atlantic Wall, the hill where the Allies distributed their fuel and bunkers. The visitors center at Omaha Beach was great and we already knew a lot of the information before going in. Recommend for a bit of physical activity and to enjoy the landscape and history.

BEST personal tour I’ve ever taken!
Matt is a SUPERIOR tour guide in every way. The depth and breadth of his knowledge of the battle of Normandy, and the stories he conveys made this experience so incredibly special for our family, and especially our sons. Matt is deeply invested in learning and sharing the stories of people who fought and died here.
This tour is worth every penny and you won’t be disappointed. He listened to our sons and what their interests were in this area and made sure they saw those things that were important to them, and gave great suggestions for other points of interest we can see on our own.
Thank you, Matt! You made this trip so special for us!

The Best D-Day Tour
This was a very insightful tour of the American battlefields of D-Day and a very nice tour of the American Cemetary. The guide, Raphaelle, was extremely knowledgeable of the facts of the invasion and stories of individual soldiers as they went thru this time in their lives. She is enthusiastic of her subject and loves her job. She is mindful and considerate of her clients and their needs. You will count yourself fortunate to have had Raphaelle guide you on this tour.

really informative and really fun!
Great experience, with Remi, our enthusiastic, totally-knowledgeable, and fun-to-be-with driver and guide! Remi clearly loves his work and this era of history of this area where he grew up. He knew every detail to answer my questions (and I've read a lot of WWII history). One kind of treat was Remi's stopping briefly in a tiny village on the back roads we drove to get from site to site, to learn what life was like before D-day and after. Another was a short-cut drive via a particularly-beautiful small country road in this area where Remi grew up. And of course all the 'basics' were dramatic and fascinating, including Omaha Beach landing complexity, and building the gigantically-ambitious artificial harbor at Gold. The American cemetery was especially beautiful and moving, including being at the daily 4pm ceremony. And my wife totally loved the sidecar experience and driving in the open air!
