We had a lovely day with Anna. She was kind, thoughtful and so very professional. We appreciated learning the history and explanations of what all we were seeing. Anna was a tremendous guide!
A must do. Our guide Vincente was incredible with a passion for the subject which was contagious. It was a perfect lesson in history for both my son and I. The experience I would say is a must do, a once in a lifetime thing.
This trip was in early May 2026. Though the weather was very challenging due to wind and cold and some rain, our guide Valentin was full of energy for the whole tour and brought DDay to life for us as we toured the sites. He communicated his passion for and deep knowledge of this subject to all of us and created the lasting memory we were looking for.
Excellent! Just long enough.
Incredibly informative and engaging tour with Pascal. His diligent preparation and meticulus organization painted an incredible picture of what happened in Normandy on D-Day and made for a very thought-provoking tour.
Our 1½-day D-Day tour was one of the highlights of our trip to France. We visited the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and Omaha Beach, and every stop was both moving and unforgettable. Victor was an outstanding guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history he was sharing. As a lifelong history buff, visiting Normandy has been on my bucket list since I was in high school back in the late 1970s. After all those years, having that dream finally come true exceeded every expectation. Standing on Omaha Beach and walking the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc where the U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs brought history to life in a way no book or documentary ever could. Visiting the American Cemetery was an emotional experience that I'll never forget. Victor's storytelling, historical insight, and ability to connect the events of June 6, 1944, with the places we were standing made the experience incredibly informative and memorable. Rangers Lead the Way! If you're considering a Normandy tour, don't hesitate. It was worth every minute and every penny, and Victor helped make a lifelong dream a reality.
Couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Our tour guide, Victor was wonderful! Victor had a great personality and was so informative about the d-day invasion and the history of the area. We thought we knew a lot of the history, but he shed light on so many things that we weren’t aware of. We had 5 in our tour and it was so personal. Even though we didn’t know each other at the start we all connected and Victor made that possible.
Lots of information was enthusiastically delivered, interesting context to what happened and why. Highly recommend
Matt was an outstanding guide - kind, knowledgeable and genuinely engaging. His passion for the history of D-Day made the experience unforgettable. We learned so much and came away with an even deeper respect for those who sacrificed to secure our freedom. The half-day tour was well-paced, active, and packed with fascinating information. By the end we felt we had gained a meaningful understanding. Truly this was one of the best tours in France for us. We highly recommend this tour with Matt.
We did a half-day tour to Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and the American cemetery. Matt was a fabulous tour guide...passionate historian, funny, and respectful of the theme of this tour. Recommend 5/5!
