Knowledgeable tour guide. Saw many sights. Wish we’d had more time at the American Cemetery though. Overall, a good experience.

Thank you very much for this very kind review. Yes, I am sorry, at this time of year daylight is quite short.

Amazing day visiting the D-Day sites.

Our family visited Normandy specifically to see the D-Day sites as my grandfather was there in WWII with the 82nd Airborne. Igor was great at communicating before the trip, recommended a breakfast spot in Bayeux before he picked us up, then took us all over for the day. He was very knowledgeable, had so many photos and videos to go along with his information, and clearly has been doing this for a while. It was a really great day. I can't recommend it enough.

Igor was very knowledgeable and professional. Could have spent more time at American Cemetery welcome center and would have liked to have gone to monument on Omaha Beach -- weather was cold and bleak -- he couldn't help that -- we still saw A LOT!!

Eccellente guida

La nostra guida Igor è stata incredibile : ci ha fatto immergere totalmente in questa esperienza che è stata molto emozionante. Consiglio di vedere le spiagge degli sbarchi accompagnati , e’ tutta un altra cosa. Igor è preparatissimo, puntuale e molto gentile. Il Van molto carino, a bordo abbiamo trovato per noi acqua e caramelle . Fantastico.
