Wonderful day out and learned lots about WW2, D-day, and Normandy.
labington21, Dec 2024
We had a wonderful day touring the D-day/Normandy area. I went with just me and my 12 year old son (both from Michigan, USA) and we were able see everything that we wanted to see and learned all about WW2 and D-day. Igor is a wealth of knowledge, a real professional, and gave lots of interesting historical context and information. I'd recommend this tour for anyone that would like to see the area and learn more about it.

Amazing! Igor is so organized and prepared, friendly and accomodating and a wealth of knowledge. He was willing to flex to what we wanted to see, he prepared in advance for people with unusual requests, he had a multimedia presentation with videos, interviews, and other items we could watch while we drove from one place to the next. Igor is a must to book for an informative Normandy tour!

Marine honoring fellow servicemen
Beckie M, Dec 2024
What we were able to visit was memorable but with a wheelchair options are limited. At first the driver was not going to take us because of the wheelchair

Hello,
Yes I am really sorry but I should have been informed about he wheelchair.
This tour us not really suited for people with limited mobility.
I will correct that in the tour description.
I was really proud to have a US Marine Veteran.
Have a great day.
