Our guide, Sunny, was wonderful. She provided great explanations and context, but did not overdo anything and allowed enough time on the stops for personal exploring and reflection. Like many of these tours, I wish I had more time at some stops but, it was still a wonderful, moving experience and I highly recommend the tour. We especially enjoyed the Airborne Museum and could have spent much more time there. Overall, this was just a fantastic tour and seeing the sites outside of history books or movies is something that I wish everyone could do. The scale of the beaches is mind-blowing.

This was a very memorable day trip. We did the small group tour and our guide Matt was amazing! Very knowledgeable and fun. We had a friend that wanted us to put flowers on her Uncle's grave at the American Cemetery and Matt made it happen. Can't thank Matt enough for going above and beyond! Our whole group all 7 of us had an awesome day. I highly recommend the small group tour!

Our Normandy battlefields tour was life changing. It was emotionally overwhelming standing on the beaches where thousands of men sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Our tour guide, Oliver Cricket, was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of telling the history by intertwining it with individual human stories. We started on time and ended on time and stopped at a gas station for a quick lunch. He got us to the American cemetery in time to see the flags lowered and gave us just enough time at all of the sights on the tour to take in enough to get the highlights. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to show honor and respect to the Greatest Generation by visiting where they gave all.

We had an incredible experience. Olivier was a fantastic guide-- he was beyond knowledgeable, enthusiastic and answered all of our questions. Our visit was awe-inspiring and sombering. We appreciate the opportunity and are thankful we took this tour. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Our tour guide, David, was wonderful. With 20 years of experience, he was knowledgeable, flexible, and did a fabulous job of explaining the history we were seeing in a way that impacted everyone in our group - not just the history buffs. I look forward to recommending this tour to all of my friends and family.

I was fortunate with the choice of tour guide sent to my hotel to pick me up. Since the other part of the reserved tour cancelled it was just me and Adrian, the tour guide in a very comfortable van. The day spent in his company was both enjoyable, informative and interesting. I was able to engage in discussions with him regarding the topics and also was able to spend as much time possible to take plenty of photos. Im sure had there been other members of the tour there still would have been quality time and information given by Adrian.

It was wonderful - a little emotional at the American cemetery for Americans. Great tour guide I think Francois was his name. Highly recommend! Watch a few movies or documentaries before you go to refresh your memory such as The Longest Day. Pick-up went as planned and tour ran just as advertised.

We recently spent 15 days in France-primarily in the Paris area. HOWEVER, the 2 days we spent around Bayeux AND ESPECIALLY at the Normandy D-day beaches were far and away the highlight of our entire 15 day trip! Seeing the German cemetary with 21,000 souls was very humbling. Then to go onward to Utah and Omaha Beaches, St Mere Eglise where many of the paratroopers landed to soften the region in preparation of the sea invasion, and Pont Du Hoc with the German gun emplacements will be things that I will forever carry with me! Anjd if you get David as your tour guide---BONUS!!! David was so knowledgeable, kind, and informative-he is certainly much of what made our tour so forever memorable!

We had a wonderful time and experience on this tour. Francois was a terrific guide and was very enthusiastic and conveying the knowledge he had obtained from studying history. He had a terrific personality and was very easy to interact with. It was a highlight of our time in France and we would do it again in a heartbeat. We are very grateful for meeting him and for seeing this wonderful area of France.

The tour to the Normandy battlefields was excellent. Our guide, Kate, spoke perfect English. Her knowledge about the war and battlefields was exceptional. She started giving us information from the moment we joined the tour. Although the tour last around eight hours, we felt that it just flew by. I would highly recommend Kate to all future travelers.

Having been born after WW2 and being beneficiaries of the bravery and sacrifice of those who lived through that time, this was a most compelling and meaningful tour for my wife and myself. Seeing the sites we only read about before put a face on one of the epic events of the European war. Our tour guide, Carine, was well spoken and had a wealth of information about the area and sites visited. In spite of it being close to a 9 hour tour, locations are spread out and I would have like a bit more time at one or more of the sites as some site visits were a bit rushed. Perhaps one less location or a shorter lunch would address this concern. Nevertheless, this, for me, was the highlight of our trip to France. Tips: Bring warm clothes as it can get blustery in the fall when we were there. And read up about the D Day events, French resistance, etc.

Review by: Carrie C, October 2017
This tour was great -- perfect tour size only 8, our guide was awesome and the tour hit the major sites we wanted to visit. Everything about it... the information, the included lunch, the traveling between sites -- was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
