Very Fun Private Tour with Jeep tour
234robb, Dec 2024
Had a great time on tour with just my 15 yr old son and I. History and stories are great and the jeep tour was really fun. Raphaëlle and Flavie are both very knowledgeable and share their passion of the subject matter. They made our tour very relaxed and personal like touring with friends sharing stories.
A must stop is for ice cream in Isigny-sur-Mer, thanks Raphaëlle!
Great tour for all ages

The tour was well organized and I’m sure our tour would’ve been great with or without Raphaelle. But, she was absolutely amazing and we count ourselves as super fortunate to have gotten her. She engaged with our kids and us adults perfectly. Ten out of ten recommend the tour, and if you can request Raphaelle you should.
Wonderful tour with Raphaelle
BluegrassBrad, Dec 2024
We could not have asked for a better guide. Raphaelle was incredibly personable, kind, and knowledgeable. She picked us up at our lodgings and made the day incredibly easy. There is no way we could have covered the same ground on our own, and we certainly would have been far less informed. Raphaelle took care to tailor the information carefully to her audience. She was excellent when she was "on-script" as well as when she was responding to our many questions. We even quizzed her about some of our curiosities with French culture, and she graciously indulged us. This is the way to see the D-Day beaches. We highly recommend.
Exceptional experience RECOMMENDED
dannyvQ2164SR, Dec 2024
We had visited the Normandy landing beaches quite a few times, but the experience with this company was an excellent addition to the knowledge we already had.
We booked 1 day including 7 hours with a "van" and 1 hour with an authentic "Willy Jeep"
We had with Raphaëlle an exceptionally good Guide.
She was very well aware of all relevant info, both of the preparations for D-Day, D-Day itself and the events after June 6.
R. is very friendly, enthusiastic and passionate, she has given us an unforgettable day.
When asked to visit the German Cemetery in La Cambe she responded very enthusiastically and planned that, what a service!!!!
The trip by Jeep was guided by Flavie and Thomas, they were also very friendly and attentive.
In short, the three guides who accompanied us all day were of an exceptional level. In addition to the general information about D-Day, they also manage to bring out the life of the individual through gripping stories that are covered in few historical works.
We can therefore highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in this phase of WWII.
Thank you very much
Linda, Tinne, Luc and Danny
Excellent experience!
