Darrel_E, Feb 2020
I had an absolutely fabulous time! Simon is so knowledgeable, he is like a human history book! His insights and knowledge on Normandy and the battles that occurred there were amazing. I feel fortunate to have been able to go on this trip and especially fortunate to have such a great guide I highly recommend going if you get the opportunity to!!
