guide was a very nice person and accommodating. He was weak on facts and in some cases incorrect.

AN excellent tour with excellent tour guide Igor -- weather precluded a couple of things -- not his fault and what we saw was moving, informative, and well done

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!!
