Best Normandy tour ever
V4765OIsteves, Dec 2024
Raphelle was amazing. We had a great time. She kept our 4 teenagers totally engaged for the whole day. She was outgoing and very knowledgeable. Her stories make the historical facts more personal and much more memorable for our 3 generation of family members definitely best tour ever.
Our Day at Normandy

WoW, Thomas what an excellent tour you gave my wife and I. Your love for what you do as a guide truly comes out of in your passion and story telling of what took place in Normandy on this sacred day and special time in history. Your attention to detail and what happened during D-Day made it very educational. We highly recommend this tour and we will bring our children back so they can experience the same. Thanks for a memorable trip. Thanks Steve & Rebecca

Impeccable Service and Knowledge
JuanPerez2024, Dec 2024
It is hard to put in words the excellence of the tour we took.
In first place, we could choose freely the places we were interested, the places where the tour started and ended and the tour schedule in general. Another important point is that we could pay in cash at the end of the tour, so we didn't have to pay in advance. Also, and this is something we really appreciated, we weren't forced to visit shops or restaurants affiliated with the company, and we could shop or eat wherever we wanted.
But the most important thing which really made our day exceptional is the passion and knowledge that Thomas showed when he explained any aspect of the landings history. It is really impressive. He was able to narrate all the operations and the personal stories of the soldiers with a remarkable degree of detail and a enthusiasm that reveals how much he loves the history of the D-Day.
That is the real reason why you should choose his company. Many we will be able to provide transportation around the sites, but few will be able to give you knowledge worth of an history academic.
If you choose to go with him, we really recommend to watch The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers because it will enrich you experience.
