Amazing DDay Tour
RayK507, Dec 2024
Gwen was very knowledgeable, highly personable and brought the events of June 6, 1944 and the days that followed to life in a very compelling way.
Awesome private tour

Pierre gave an amazing private tour for my family. Highly recommend doing a tour versus doing Normandy on your own due to the massive amount of information Pierre was able to share with us along with the ease of driving to the many different sites. He picked us up at the train station and dropped us back off which was very convenient as well. For sure check the weather. It was pretty cold today and very windy. So glad we did this! Worth the price!
Great tour with an amazing tour guide who spoke great English
Mark L, Dec 2024
Our tour guide (Janek) was amazing and so knowledgeable of the history of the area. His English was fantastic (we did not speak French) and very easy to understand and to have dialogue with. The experience was unforgettable and so glad that we were able to do this.
You MUST hire this guide in Normandy!

Yannick was our guide - I’ve taken a LOT of tours over the years and he’s the single best guide I’ve ever had. My two friends (who also travel and tour a lot) agreed.
Yannick was incredibly knowledgeable, with a broad and specific understanding of all aspects of the Normandy invasion, but not in a pedantic way. He was casual, funny, easy to talk to, and did an incredible job of personalizing the Normandy invasion by telling stories about soldiers/people. He also had excellent pictures and maps to help us understand.
Yannick is also flexible and adapted to our wishes as the day went on.
If you go to Normandy he is an absolute star. Must hire him - you will not be disappointed!
Amazing Tour With Yannick!
richardjJ5790LV, Dec 2024
Our tour yesterday of the American beaches was nothing short of superb. Yannick is an amazing guide who is deeply passionate about his work, which comes through in the depth and energy of his tours. We have been on many guided tours in Europe, and nothing surpasses the tour Yannick delivered for us. We left there feeling like we were there, 80 years ago. Remarkable!
