Great tour!

Guide was great! He was very good at adjusting the tour for our group. He picked us up directly from airport and had a very comfortable ride. He was very knowledgable and efficient about ensuring we saw the best of Normandy.
Awesome!

The trip with Joe great! Lots of history, stories and laughter. Joe was polite knowledgeable and loads of fun. Thanks for a memorable day!
A very moving experience

The tour was fantastic! Jozef is extremely knowledgeable about history and details and you can "get into the weeds" with him on subjects. He worked very hard to assess where my Great Uncle landed and brought us right to the beach. You go into the trenches built along the shoreline. You look out through the firing ports at the ocean and your mind starts to imagine how things happened.
Could not recommend more. A gem.

Absolutely an amazing experience. I would use this guise again and again. Just the right amount of history facts, story, personal anecdotes and humor throughout. The guide read the mood of the group and gave us all exactly what we needed throughout the day. Thank you, thank you.
WONDERFUL - GREAT GUIDE

Normandy Private Trip: Guide: Jozef Prihoda (wife and business manager Deborah Saulnier).
We (2 couples in our mid 70s) did a two-day private tour with Jozef in June 2023 with pick up in Paris, overnight in Bayeux, and then drop off back in Paris. Jozef was TERRIFIC!! He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of D-Day and how the invasion of Normandy enfolded on sea, in the air and on the land. He was able to explain both the allied and German strategies and brought us to sights that brough his explanations to life. He also regaled us with endless stories that were at time poignant and sad and at other times comic. The weather for the two days was mainly cold, windy, and rainy. Jozef remained flexible and was able to adapt which sight we saw when to minimize standing in the cold rain. Deborah recommended a wonderful hotel (Villa Lara) and booked an incredible delicious dinner for us at a gem of a restaurant (La Rapiere) for our one night in Bayeux. The tour was all Jozef and he was great!! Our collective opinion is that if you want a guided tour of Normandy, you could not do any better.
