Wonderful!!! - The tour was fantastic. I highly recommend. If I had time, I would have taken the full day tour, as there is so much to see and process. Our guide was top notch.

Very interesting, informative and worthwhile! - We had a wonderful tour with Igor. His depth of knowledge was amazing and his ability to explain the sites clearly and with respect was fantastic. The tour was great for a summary of the main sites or if you are limited for time. Of course, you could always spend more time exploring the sites on your own, but a guide with insight who provides context allows you to get the most from your visit. We’d highly recommend Igor and his team.

Awesome Tour and Company - Omaha Beach/D-Day. Our guide Arthur was an encyclopedia of knowledge, professional, personable, and a delight! He arrived on time and in a very comfortable air conditioned van. Even tho the tour was 4+ hours, it really wasn’t enough time for us. Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, American Cemetery very moving, especially Taps and the Lowering of the flag was very emotional ❤️

Arthur the great! - We so enjoyed our guided tour of DDay beaches with Arthur. He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and did a good job of explaining the battles. Despite some rain, he was willing to stand on the beach and continue with no loss of enthusiasm.. (He did offer us rain-free alternatives) He was in fact a licensed French tour guide, as well. My sister, who teaches history and knows a good bit about DDay, learned new things on this tour and had no complaints. Thanks for a wonderful tour!
