HQ Company Tour is the Best! - Pierre Mesle’ did the most fantastic job with our American group of six. He was recommended to us months before and we were so glad that he was available. He picked us up at our rental house and took us to the beaches, Pont du’hoc, the American Cemetery, to lunch and then to St. Meredith Eglise. His Masters in US History greatly contributed to his tour knowledge and he was so informed about the battles and strategy of both sides on D Day. We could not have had a better day, guide or experience. While he is French, born and bred, his English was terrific! During the drives in the Mercedes Sprinter van, he provided informative info as well as at the actual sites. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the experience while learning about those faithful days, weeks and months following DDay. Well done Pierre and HQ Company Tour!

Yannick was an amazing tour guide for D Day sites - We spent a full day with Yannick. We loved his enthusiasm and passion and level of knowledge about D Day and World War II. He was a pleasure to talk to and was very responsive to all of our questions. My wife Ed and I highly recommend him. You will leave the tour much more informed and also much more interested in D Day and the Allied invasion.

Great tour, highly recommend! - We toured the D-Day beaches and Airborne museum on our tour with Yannick and he is the BEST! He is extremely knowledgeable, and his passion for the subject matter is clear. There’s no question he can’t answer and he shared a number of great stories about the soldiers that were interesting and touching. If you’re looking for a great tour with a friendly, enthusiastic guide, look no further.

Highly recommend! - Awesome tour! Our tour was led by Yannick and he provided a very engaging tour that included excellent presentation materials, super informative recall of the events, and interesting personal stories as he led us through the invasion at Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Utah Beach and more. We walked the beach and German artillery bunkers and tried to imagine the difficult conditions on June 6, 1944. You learn how the allied forces overcame off-target bombing runs, challenging weather conditions for paratroopers, and the German’s strategic defenses. Ultimately, shear numbers, an excellent battle plan, and individual heroism won the day. During the tour, you visit the Normandy American Cemetery and will be proud of this incredible tribute to many of the fallen American soldiers. Surprisingly, you find out that a large number of families decided to have their loved ones’ remains sent back to the US. I could go on and on, but needless to say, I highly recommend this tour. It was a highlight of trip to France.

A fascinating experience...highly recommended - My two sons and I did a 2 day private tour of D-Day & the Airborne Operation. The guide showed up exactly on time at our hotel in Bayeux. It was a fascinating experience. The very knowledgeable guide personalized the tour by telling the different events/stories through the eyes of the soliders and provided historical photos and maps from the event of the many areas areas we visitied. It was a powerful touch as it made the experience come to life. The tour was also somewhat "customized" to sites and events in which we were interested which was really appreciated. It was an extremely moving two days and highly recommended.
