The tour was outstanding. Remy was the best tour guide. His knowledge and passion about D-Day, and the different stories of what occurred came through his presentations throughout the day. I saw and learned so much. It was the best tour I've been on. I highly recommend it. Especially with Remy!!
Val was a great guide for our full day tour. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and had information to explain each stop on the tour. He had many pictures for each stop to explain what happened there and information about the people involved, which helped to further our understanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this tour.
Wow, did we have a wonderful and highly knowledgeable tour guide! Anna had a fun spirit and was very knowledgeable about the events of D-Day and WWII in the Normandy area. I was particularly moved when she shared with me that during this past year's D-Day commemoration, a veteran shared with her that the time is coming when survivors of D-Day will no longer be present, and how important it is to him that the next generation continue to tell the stories of what happened on this day and during WWII. They did something very important, and their experiences need to continue to be shared and learned from.
Ana was our tour guide and she was exceptional! 5 Stars. I do a lot of tours when I travel to Europe from USA - this was one of the best. Tour started promptly at 9:00 and we returned to our hotel at exactly 5:30 just as promised. Tour pace was perfect and tailored to the group’s interest (we were a group of 6). Van was air conditioned, clean and comfortable. We stopped for lunch for 1 hour. Enough time to eat and explore a little church in the plaza where John Steele “landed”. Tour guide was fun, knowledgeable, prepared with maps and pictures. Highly recommend.
Very nice experience. Brice was an amazing guide and companion to have on the tour with all the insights and cooperation. Cheers.
We are very glad we did this tour, it looks us to the sites we wanted To see. Our tour guide, Paul, was very informative and knowledgeable.
This was the best tour I have ever been on! Our tour guide Remy was amazing! He was very prepared and professional. I got to see and learn so much. Seeing Omaha beach takes your breath way.
Excellent! Paul was a great guide but he may have been moving us too quickly from spot to spot. Again, excellent but quickly for me as a history crazed guy,
Hello, We are glad to read that you had a terrific time with Paul. We try to maximize our group tours, by including the best sites therefore timings are crucials. You should have booked a private tour for a slower and "in depth" experience.
Paul was our guide for this exceptional all-day tour. I booked this tour for my husband who is a big fan of the Band of Brothers series, as well as all things WW II related. I personally, have never seen the show. But that did not stop me from having an incredible time. I learned so much! My husband thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Paul was very knowledgeable, and seemed very passionate about what he was teaching us. The extra visuals he brought along are the icing on the cake that aided in our understanding. The van was very clean, comfortable, and safe. Thank you Paul, for a great day and sharing so much great knowledge with us! I highly recommend this tour!
On June 7th we took the Band of Brothers tour with Guillaume. I felt I could take the AP American History Exam & get the highest score after this tour. He was the best!, he knew the limits of traffic so moved stuff around & found places to drop us off & pick us up w/o too many steps. He was knowledgeable, engaging & never boring. He was politically sensitive. The best part was when he whipped out an Airborn Ranger flag for us to pose w/ in the same place as the show had another flag & then let us see the original to compare.
