A fantastic tour!
StuW76, Nov 2024
This was a fantastic tour, with Pascal as our guide. It was a great balance between the details of the events of D day and human interest stories that brought those events to life.
Pascal was extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter and - with the agreement of the group - managed to rejig the itinerary so that we could see the lowering of the flags ceremony at the American cemetery, towards the end of the day.
Our older teenage daughter has a keen interest in history of the two world wars but still came away from this tour having learned a lot more! The rest of us in the family felt it was a really interesting day, where Pascal had done a great job in keeping everyone engaged.
Thoroughly recommended!
Great tour!

Jordan the tour guide was wonderful. His knowledge of the area and D-Day landings at Omaha and Utah beaches was amazing. The tour of the American Cemetery was moving. It was a day well spent. Thank you Jordan!

Jordan was amazing. His knowledge and passion of the Normandy area was impressive. I can honestly say it was the best tour I’ve ever been on. There wasn’t a question he could not answer and his stories were all so interesting. Great job Jordan.
A little trip of history.

Our tour guide Charlie was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and made the stories come to life. My favorite part was the airborne museum. Seeing the glider and the C-47 was a big highlight. I would recommend bringing a lunch to see as much of the museum as possible.
Self explanatory.

My tour driver/guide (Pascal) was outstanding!!!
With his words complimenting the sights I saw, he brought to life things I had only read about but had long thought of and contemplated.
