Great Tour - Very Informative and Personable

Our family had a great experience learning how, and seeing where, the events of D-Day unfolded. Humbling, but also encouraging hearing about some of the heroic stories and sobering to be walking the same grounds where it all took place. Our guide was the best providing new insights and we walked away with even more of an appreciation for everything that took place in Normandy. Bucket list tour.

Amazing tour that...

Amazing tour that everyone should take it. Thinking it happened just 81 years ago, it's crazy how fast history fades. Average age of soldiers in the cemetery is 23. Our tour guys Dylan is extremely knowledgeable, and our driver is very helpful. Together they made the trip extra memorable. Thank you guys!

Fabulous day with V. A...

Fabulous day with V. A must see if you are ever in Normandy. We travelled from Caen through some beautiful countryside and finally the Mont appeared in the distance. It was truly amazing to see it rise from the sea. A quick bus ride to get closer to the village, then a steep climb to the windswept top and the incredible Abbey. Really worth it if you can make it up the steps. Our tour guide was brilliant and had expert knowledge on the history of Mont st Michel. We had a great day with her. Would highly recommend this tour. A highlight of our trip to France.

An Unforgettable Experience

Our guide, Brice, was very knowledgeable about the region and helpful in allowing us to make choices as to what we wanted to see. Additionally, he scheduled things in such a way that we arrived at good times to see things, such as the flag lowering at the American cemetery and low tide at Omaha Beach. If you have specific family you want to learn more about, forward the information ahead of time so your guide can help research and personalize the experience to you.
