Worth the time - Valentin was an EXCELLENT guide. Well worth the time. This tour was limited to a small group of 6 riding in a van. We were able to visit several locations, from bunkers to Omaha beach to the US cemetery. Also got great recommendations for other locations to visit which we took him up on.

Moving, informative, and also wet! - The American cemetery was moving and we were there for the lowering of the flag and taps. Charles gave us a great tour and included many historical anecdotes. It poured and lightning and thunder, but it did not deter our experience.

Our Normandy Tour - Seeing the beaches and hearing the history of the actual battles in Normandy was so impactful. Visiting the memorials demonstrated the sacrifices that were made by so many to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent.

D day Sites Guided Tour - The tour was informative and fun. Charles was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Having some one to talk through how the bunkers were made and used made the experience even more real. The time for reflection and being there for taps and the flag retreat was incredibly moving. We did the four hour tour but would definitely recommend the longer one if your schedule allows.

Army Ranger thumbs up!! - This US Paratrooper and Army Ranger felt like it was a homecoming! The generation that came before me which I have so long revered came alive today in the tour, thanks to our guide Matt. His knowledge and storytelling weaved into the sites was spectacular! Whether your knowledge of D-Day is extensive or you just love history and want to learn, this tour is outstanding. Hoo-ah!

Far exceeded expectations! - The best four hour tour we could imagine. Matt is incredible. His passion for his job radiates from the moment he picks you up. His years and years of research and experience with DDay ensures that everyone will learn quite a bit - regardless of how much you think you know. Just incredible. Highly recommend!
