Only one issue….the tour ended! - I cannot overrate the tour that we had of the Canadian D Day Experience. We had 8 people on the tour, and one excellent guide, Matt. The passion he displayed for the topic, the interest he took to understand our own personal experiences, and his wealth of knowledge made the day. There was only one issue - the tour ended! Thank you so much for a carefree, entertaining, knowledge building experience. I would highly recommend the tour!

Amazing Trip to Canadian D-Day Sites! - Our tour guide was very great and had a vast knowledge on WW2 and the events that occurred during D-Day! There were only 7 of us on the tour, all of us from Canada, which made this tour feel even more personal. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a deeper dive into D-Day.

Fantastic day with Alex - We wanted to concentrate on British and Canadian roles in D-Day and Alex gave us a tailor made day out concentrating on a few key areas whilst giving us the bigger picture. Excellent

Must attend tour for every Canadian - Highly recommend this tour, our tour guide was wonderful. It was very informative and emotional to be on that beach and visit many battle sites around d-day. My only regret is I didn't get our tour guides name but he was great.

Spectacular touring and learning about D-Day - Kate was our 2nd tour guide for D-Day experiences. She arrived promptly to pick our group up. She was professional, enthusiastic, and personable. Kate shared she was born, raised and living in the Normandy area, giving a more personal touch to her knowledge. Her driving skills were excellent. Her verbal skills were fantastic. She gave great details for the tour sites we visited and for the region. The "best" personal touch was Kate helping our friend find canned foie gras, he was mandated to bring home for friends. Our day with Kate was beyond exceptional. THANK YOU

Amazing experience with... - Amazing experience with Kate! Small group of people- one group of 4 from PEI and us from Alberta. Kate took us to key points in the Canadian involvement on Dday- informative and emotional day. Every Canadian should come here at least once.

Canadian Tour - I seldom leave reviews anywhere unless I have super experience. We spent an excellent day with Eric and two of his colleagues. Apparently our family has the honour of being the first on the 2025 Canadian Tour season. Very informative and eye-opening. It was great having a bilingual Canadian guide providing the Canadian experience. Only regret is not being able to stay a few extra days and experience more. Highly recommended. Andre and family from Ottawa.

Great Experience! - We met Eric, our tour guide, at the pick-up point, Place du Quebec and headed towards the Canadian D-Day beaches. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. In addition to his formal presentation (a binder with maps and photos), he had a number of stories and observations that enhanced our visit, and always had time to answer our questions. We spent the morning visiting the 3 Canadian beaches and the Juno Beach museum. The museum includes some artifacts from D-Day but also includes a great deal of information about Canada (1939-1945) and its overall involvement in WWII. After a brief lunch we followed the paths of the Canadians as they moved inland toward Caen. The tour terminated with the tragic events of the massacre of captured Canadian troops by the 12th SS Division at Authie and at the Abbey d'Ardenne. Eric provided background information at every stop and then allowed us time to take photos and to explore the plaques and monuments. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the Canada's contribution to the Normandy invasion.

A truly memorable trip to Juno Beach - This was a highlight of our trip to France. Eric was a fantastic guide, explaining in great detail the history of the Canadian role during DDay and of the Juno beach assault in particular. To witness the places you have only read about, with Eric’s guidance was truly memorable. This is the tour that anyone interested in DDay and in the Canadian contribution in particular should take.
