Rae_W, Dec 2024
We were met at the allotted time and location by Sophia, who was charming and exceptionally knowledgeable about not only the Band of Brothers locations shown, but also the British and Canadian Beaches further east.
We were taken to and explain bed the background to St Mere Eglise, the American Cemetery, Omaha Beach and other notable battle locations. It was great.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour, and will go on others in the future. Thanks for a great day.
A must see of history!

Of all the Viator tours I've done, this one is my favorite. What made it especially amazing was our Tour guide Sofi. She had a great knowledge of each location, pictures and maps to support the details and stories, and easily related the stories back to the Band of Brothers series. She even added a couple other quick stops that made it that much more satisfying. Thanks again!
wonderful tour

We had a wonderful tour thanks to our guide Sophie. She was amazing, well prepared, well educated and with lots of humor. You could not ask for a better guide. Along the lines of the Gilbert Bécaud song we called her "Nathalie". Thats how good she was. Regards Olivier & Susan Lindeman - Bienfait
