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.

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!

Corine is great !
Corine was an amazing guide. She is super kind and was very patient with us. She has great conversation. We really appreciated her company and also, that she was super patient with my mom during the abbey visit, even if they didn’t speak the same language, they were able to understand each other.

Very thorough, in-depth...
Very thorough, in-depth and detailed walk through the history of the Juno Beach landings and Canadian soldiers' experiences, but with additional info of all the beach landings on D Day. Our guide, Wally, was a wealth of information, anecdotes and even visual aides to help us try to picture the events leading to June 6th and what happened in the weeks to come after. Wally clearly loves his job and we completely enjoyed our day with him.

Informative and emotional
Our guide, Thierry, was very knowledgeable. He added a lot to the tour with his detailed stories about some of the men who fought in these battles, and the tactics and strategies of the combatants and their commanders. He used pictures and maps of the action in his presentation. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be ready for a few close quarters and steps in the bunkers. Also be ready to stand as your tour guide details what happened in these areas in 1944. Come with your questions. Our guide time the ending to be at the EOD taps and flag lowering.

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.

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.

DDay tour with Pascal-Highly recommend
Excellent tour! Our guide, Pascal was very knowledgeable, so interesting. We not only visited all the D-Day sites, but we were able to understand so much more from Pascal. The tour was amazing, moving, and the all day tour was the perfect length. Also, I had the best almond eclair at our lunch stop at a boulangerie.

Once in a lifetime experience - worth it!
This was an amazing experience. Hugo was friendly and knowledgeable. Just enough history with a lot of riding. We got to see everything we wanted at our pace. It really does gives you an experience that is totally different than driving to Omaha Beach from Bayeux.
One of the best excursions we’ve done in France or on any vacation for that matter. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I had a...
My husband and I had a great experience with this day long Normandy Beaches . The meet up with our tour guide was easy. Naomi was friendly and full of information. She gave full , interesting information to paint the picture of the planning and execution of D-Day.
The lunch/museum stop could have been longer - it was hard to see both the museum and have a meal as well.
We enjoyed the day- it is a lot of information to take in but well worth the time. Thank you for a great tour Naomi.

Tour perfectio!
Phillipe, was our historian, affable experienced rider and WW2 renactor, Remey our sociable, knowlegeable second rider. They we super nice to our 12 year old granddaughter who experienced her first motorcycle ride.
We would do this ride again. The tour adds a lot of perspective to ones knowledge, the views as a result, even more breathtaking, and the bikes almost allow one to see in the minds eye the e ents that unfolded there. Our rider/guides the perfect topping!
We've taken tours at all the other major spots we have visited in France. This one I think we'll remember and talk about the most. If we could make it a six star review due to Phillpe and Remey, we would! (Remy, we already visited two of the places you suggested on the way home, merci!) We've already recommended to a friend and family member that they need to do this!

10/10 Experience
Our tour guide (V) was spectacular. She was knowledgeable and personable and paced the tour perfectly. We never felt rushed but it also never lagged or got boring. We enjoyed Mont Saint Michel and I felt like the abbey and village are among the most magical sites in the world. Absolutely recommend. One thing to note...there are a LOT of stairs, like a crazy number of stairs. Still recommend the tour company and the site as a 10/10 must do if you are in France.
