第二次世界大戦プライベート ガイド付きツアー ノルマンディーのアメリカ上陸作戦のビーチ

AMAZING tour. Willem customized our tour to include pertinent details about my father's August 1944 landing at Utah Beach and dad's first few days in Normandy. His van comfortably accommodated the six of us. Willem is incredibly knowledgeable about the events surrounding D-Day and the subsequent invasion. Thank you, Willem, for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!

What a fantastic day we had with Wim as our guide! From the first moment we noticed that we were on the road with someone who has a lot of knowledge, but who also knows how to convey it in a fascinating and compelling way. Throughout the day Wim took us along the most important places of D-Day, such as Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, the American cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and the back roads where the Allies advanced at the time. We also visited the locations where the paratroopers landed. Each visit was accompanied by impressive stories full of historical details, facts and the right dates. It felt like we were in the middle of history. Wim is exactly the type of history teacher that everyone would have liked to have back in the day. He knows how to bring history to life, so you keep listening and want to remember everything. Even our daughters, aged 12 and 16, were captivated all day. He started the tour with a clear explanation of how World War II started and how it eventually led to D-Day. A perfect refresher, also for the children. In addition, Wim is a very sympathetic and enthusiastic man. He was punctual in the morning to pick us up and took all the time for us. The tour didn’t feel rushed anywhere; on the contrary, it even lasted more than an hour because we were so interested and Wim still had so many beautiful stories to tell. In short: this tour was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. Wim combines enormous historical knowledge with passion, humour and personal attention. If you really want to experience and understand the history of D-Day, we can highly recommend a tour with Wim. An absolute must and without a doubt 5 stars!

Willem was the best tour guide we have ever had! Every minute of this tour was better than I could have ever imagined. As a WWII history nerd, I couldn’t get enough of it. He took us chronologically through the experience of DDay. it was like we lived each moment with the 82nd and 101st and then stood in the shoes of those storming Omaha and Utah. If I could give more starts I would. Thank you!

Someone called Wilem the GOAT and indeed he is. Spent a wonderful day in what Wilem called an " outdoor museum". Facts, pictures, even emotions with lots of laughs. If you have a chance to visit D Day, spend it with Wilem.

On our 3 week tour of Italy & France, this was our #1 experience, Willen was incredible!! He knew minute details of the history for every area we visited. We felt like we had "lived that day", walked where our veterans walked, and completed our day honoring those who fought for our country.

Willem was so great! We spent the entire day with him. He taught us so much! Even our teenagers loved the tour. He was patient with our younger son and really great! I would book another tour with him if we ever made it back to Normandy.

Willem was great! In depth knowledge and clear respect and love for his work and Normandy was clearly evident Great story telling and use of historical pictures to bring life to our experiences. And fun!

Amazing experience! One day with Willem is not enough. Willem is an extremely gifted story teller, and through stories, he immersed us, completely, not only in the times and locations, but in the emotions, sounds, chaos of the the DDay invasion. Willem left us starving for more stories. He also left us with a tremendous attachment to our soldiers and their courage and sacrifice. We can not say "Thank you" enough!!

My family and I had the opportunity to tour Normandy with Willem and it was a great decision. His knowledge of the epic struggle that unfolded in 1944 combined with his story telling ability made for a great day. Since it was a small group, we were able to visit sites that were too small for large tour buses to access. I strongly recommend spending the day with Willem, you will learn a lot and greatly appreciate what happened during this critical campaign during WWII.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My husband and I did this tour with my brother and his wife and it was simply OUTSTANDING! Willem was an absolutely incredible tour guide. His vast knowledge of World War II was impressive. He had maps and illustrations that gave even more clarity to the tour. To stand on the beaches where the battles of DDay occurred sent chills. Beyond facts, he shared numerous stories from veterans who were a part of the DDay invasion. Since it was a private tour with just the four of us and Willem, he was able to cater the tour to the topics and locations that interested us the most. It was an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Just superb!
