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.

March Tour of Dunkirk - We were guided on an excellent tour around Dunkirk by Emmanuel. He jumped in our vehicle and directed us through the streets of Dunkirk. His knowledge and passion was unquestionable. We had an excellent time, was well worth the price, and I would recommend anyone going to Dunkirk to use this Tour company...Thanks Emmanuel!

Fascinating morning around Dunkirk - It was very interesting getting the French perspective of the evacuation. Alyce was fantastic, the weather not so great . She also took us to the street from the opening scene of the Dunkirk movie which we enjoyed, and then to get a better look at the East mole and English cemetery. Very interesting day. Thankyou

Definitely worth the visit and the tour! - We had a lovely guide, Elise, who was very enjoyable to learn from and listen to. She took us to the sites involved in the operation and also in making the movie Dunkirk which was enjoyable. We went to the British cemetery which was very touching. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and Elise helped us have a fuller understanding of the operation.

Excellent tour and guide! - Elise was an exceptional guide! She was well spoken in English, and knew the history and the lore really well. Very insightful. This was so much better than anything we could have done on our own.
