Humbling experience
This was a lovely and very humbling experience. Helen our guide is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. We had our tour during a massive heat wave with 30+ degree weather and Helen made sure we were doing okay and stopped for water and drinks and even provided us with umbrellas. I would recommend this tour

Very well done. William...
Very well done. William was very knowledgeable, friendly, and receptive to questions. You can tell he was very excited about the D-Day operation and Operation OverLord in total. It was great to have William help me complete one of my bucket list items!

This is a must experience for any Band of Brothers fan. Traces the footsteps of Major Winters & the men of Easy
Highly recommended. Very professional, authentic and knowledgeable. Our guide Paul was a wealth of genuine, accurate information about many aspects and events of the war, and in the Normandy area in particular.
We visited several of the historic - and emotionally moving - sites, and spent informative, quality time at each one.
You don’t need to be a “fan” of the Band of Brothers series to appreciate and enjoy this tour, but if you are, you will absolutely appreciate it that much more!
We will do this very same tour again next year when we return to the area.

Val was our tour guide...
Val was our tour guide and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the entire region of Normandy. His education stood out way beyond his age! He was a really good driver. We would highly recommend him and we look forward to seeing him again one day!

Paul is a rock star D-Day beaches tour guide!
Paul was excellent! He shared so much knowledge, and I felt we heard compelling stories that are often not heard in other tours. He also gave us periodic free time to absorb certain sites--the museum, the cemetery and lunch--with hints on how to get the most out of each place. I would recommend him to my friends!

Great D-Day Tour
This was a great day tour. Boy is very knowledgeable and obviously a lifelong learner. He will not talk your ear off, he’ll calmly guide you and answer questions, then bring up stories he has learned or been told by vets. My husband has done some reading so had plenty of questions—it made for a rich experience. Bring water with you, it’s a long day with a nice stop for lunch, but wished we had water with us!

Our tour guide, Marine...
Our tour guide, Marine was fantastic. Her knowledge of the area (she is a local) and history of WWII was outstanding. Each of us learned a lot. This tour was so informative. Taking the full day to absorb the gravity of the war and appreciate all those who sacrificed so much was well needed.

A brilliant authentic experience for the family.
Amazing experience with my sons and husband.
Far from
gimmicky this is the real deal.
These guys know the routes and all the historical facts and will transport you to places the more touristic operations won't take you. Like the vantage point above Omaha beach. Their historical knowledge is second to none, their sense of fun puts the kids into a great frame of mind and the retro experience a brilliant way to do this. Could not recommend it enough

Excellent tour, highly recommended
Excellent tour, brilliantly handled by Nad. Instructions from Ophorus were clear and accurate about meeting places and what to expect in the tour. Nad was extremely informative and passionate about Mont Saint-Michel, as well as Normandy in general. Very highly recommend this tour.

Great way to explores Normandy
This was such a wonderful experience, I would love to recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy Bayeux countryside. It’s not physically challenging as I thought. Rather very relaxing and manageable ride. Our tour guide Theo was very nice and knowledgeable about the D-day and Normandy . We rode around the area and learned about the history. I cried at the Normandy memorial site. What a tour!

D Day Omaha Beach Tour
We booked the Omaha Tour for 20th Sept 2025. Pascal our guide from the company Ophorus was outstanding.
His knowledge is excellent and passes this on in a very interesting and friendly manner with some humour thrown in.. We were a family of four from the UK. It was a pleasure to meet Pascal and recommend this tour to anyone thinking of doing this tour.
Stephen, Lynne, Bobby and Debs.

Highly recommend the tour & our guide ROMA
Our English guide Roma was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and knew how to tell the complex history in a way that was easy to understand. She was not only a great communicator but also a very friendly and lovely person! She drove us to places that would be hard to navigate on our own. I highly recommend Roma and the D-day tour.
