A Great Tour of Normandy - My husband and I found this tour through Trip Advisor. I was hesitant at first, but through research we did it seemed the best fit. This tour did not disappoint! We had Gwen as our tour guide and it was us and a father and son. Gwen made this tour personable, enjoyable, and he was very knowledgeable. I would do another tour with him and this company again!

Excellent tour - Highly recommend this tour and tour company! Our guide Chloe was very well informed on the history and stories. She had a very nice portfolio with maps and photos and went above and beyond to give us background before we visited sites and additional information after each experience. She clearly has much respect for the soldiers and love for her country.

History became real and fasinating - I am not a history buff but our tour guide was so passionate and the information so detailed I couldn't help but be deeply engrossed in every thing he said. It was a hard day because we learned detailed information and saw pictures of the soldiers that lived and those that died under intense fighting conditions but that made me even more proud of our US military and Allied Forces (Canada and UK) who fought on the Normandy beaches. The Omaha Sector of the beach was a pivotal turning point in us winning the war against Nazi Germany so I highly recommend every adult take a tour so you can learn so much about how these brave men helped changed our world by beating the Germans under Hitler's rule.

An excellent afternoon - We had an excellent trip today to Ponte du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American cemetery. The guide was very knowledgeable, gave us a lot of interesting information and answered all our questions. He also kindly offered recommendations for further exploring the area. The adults as well as the teenagers enjoyed everything.
