Fabulous tour with Lucas.
chrisgI7960XU, Dec 2024
Excellent trip Lucas ran in a knowledgeable, efficient and accommodating way. His English was perfect. He took time to gauge what we were interested in and when we said, the individuals stories bring the history alive, he creatively tailored the trip to small sites he said he often didn’t go to but this led to a fascinating trip. He did the headline sites too. Unhurried, keen to answer detailed history questions, we had an age range of 72 to 22 and all loved the day. I would strongly recommend this tour and if fortunate enough, Lucas as the guide.

A very personal Normandy trip
254yvonned, Dec 2024
My entire life I have wanted to come study in the footsteps that my Grandfather took in Normandy. I was extremely close to him and this was a very personal experience. No ordinary guide would do. I have a B.A. in Military history which set the standards high. To make things even more difficult, I needed to see where the 90th Division fought which is not as nearly publicized as other units.
When we arrived in Normandy Matt had requested a brief ice breaker in the evening before we got together the next day. Matt arrived and immediately pulled out a photo of my Granddad and said “Is this Seth?”. I couldn’t believe it! It was a photo even I had never seen. He had spent much time studying and preparing for us. I immediately knew we had the right man! Matt took us to the main attractions as expected yet went above and beyond taking us to all the off the beaten path locations making my personal trip more than I could have ever asked for!

Igor Was a real professional and a fountain of knowledge. We were two families with 14 teenagers and he customized the tour and made it very real for them. Excellent experience. Thank you, Igor!

Amazing tour! Our guide, Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was surreal to stand and see the places in so many movies and history documentaries.This should be on your bucket list.
