Good overview and more - Elise did a great job of putting the battle of Dunkirk into historical context and included multiple perspectives on it. After visiting several key locations, I have a much better understanding of the events of not only Operation Dynamo, but also what the citizens of Dunkirk went through afterwards. Additionally, it was fun to hear some inside scoop in the production of Christopher Nolan’s film.

Absolutely Excellent- A Must for World War II Students - What a wonderful experience! Four of us took the tour- myself, my son in law, and two grandsons. Our tour guide, Elise, was fluent in English, energetic, and kind. She was a marvelous instructor about the Battler of Dunkirk- the relationship between the English and the French, the difficulties experienced with the evacuation, and the impact on the cities of both Calais and Dunkirque. We thoroughly enjoyed the two hour tour. The trip to the cemetery was particularly moving. We shared, in a small way, the sorrow of the parents and family of the fallen heroes with the messages on the tombstone crosses. A heartfelt thank you to Dynamo Tour and especially to Elise for sharing her wealth of knowledge about such an historic event. We could not have been more satisfied.

Knowledgeable Tour Guide - Emmanuelle (sp?) was an excellent tour guide. I visited the museum first to gain a basic understanding of the Operation, and this tour immediately afterwards was highly complimentary. Seeing the locations with narration was absolutely worth the price. I had plenty of opportunities to ask questions; the guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered them all. The driver was also very professional and the drive was comfortable.

Great experience - would recommend - We had a brilliant tour. Our guide Freddie had a lot of really indepth knowledge and a great way of telling stories. Would definitely recommend whether you already know a bit about the history or (like me) not very much at all.
