Superb day trip from Rouen!

Genevieve_B, Nov 2025

Extremely knowledgeable and professional experience. Igor was a consummate host (perfect fluency both with English and with the subject matter) who operated with high level of courtesy and was very personable. He shared his encyclopedic knowledge freely and without pretension. Clean, spacious, and well maintained vehicle; Igor also found ingenious, interactive ways to use our two-hour journeys to and from Rouen—plus he had seamless microphone for enhancing sound. An excellent and generous way to spend our day. We almost feel as if we were undercharged!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello Genevieve, It was a real pleasure to be your guide on that day from Rouen. I wish you a wonderful winter and Christmas time. Best regards.

Wonderful D Day Tour

Our Guide was terrific and made us very comfortable spending the time at the beach. He was extremely knowledgeable and felt like we had known him forever. Good driver, nice van --had water for us. Non smoker.
