Great Tour of D-Day sights - Our trip to Normandy was phenomenal. Our guide was Oliver and he was great! Very knowledgeable, he gave a great history lesson. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the area beyond D-day as well. I would definitely recommend this tour. If you are wondering whether the drive out there is worth it, it is! Also, going in the wintertime is great! It may be cold but there are no crowds!

Worth the investment - The driver "Enrique" was phenomenal. His professionalism and knowledge was above reproach. We were booked on a 8 passenger van but we ended up being the only guests. He afforded us the comfort of stopping when needed and had excellent recommendations for food for lunch.

Our guide Pascal was... - Our guide Pascal was excellent. He was knowledgeable about WW2 history, even at the individual parts of the battlefields we saw. He was extremely friendly. Honestly, the tour was one of the best things on our trip. I would not only recommend this tour, but recommend specifically booking with him again.

A special experience! - O took a tour with Pascal to Normandy. It was definitely a long day but well worth the effort. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided many details of which I was previously unaware regarding the D Day invasion. We visited the cliffside landing spot and Omaha beach. He walked me through all that transpired. Our last stop was the Amercian cemetery that is a must do for every Amercian visiting France -- emotionally on par with the (-11 memorial in NYC though much less crowded and peaceful. I also appreciated that we spent time informing me but also allowed ample time for me to explore on my own.
