This was one of the best tours we ever took. Our guide was Boy and he was SO knowledgeable! He showed us all around and explained everything. He had personal stories that he shared with many of the veterans. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting here for a more personalized tour.
Wonderful, knowledgeable, caring, guide…. Even visited private home with German war time paintings recently found and restored on the walls.
Such a wonderful tour! Boy was an excellent guide and so knowledgeable. We learned so much - including many stories we had never heard about before. Boy took extra care to make sure we had an excellent tour and he did not disappoint! Highly highly recommend.
Thank you Jennifer for your review. It was a great day. Thank you for choosing Neptune Battle Tours to be your guide.

Thanks for the review ! Glad to read you had a great day ashore with Neptune Battle Tours during your cruise.
What a wonderful, extremely qualified and knowledgeable D-Day tour guide. Not only did he give an incredible tour which was on our bucket list, but he was patient and kind with us. Opening doors, providing umbrellas and simply just sweet. His knowledge opened all of our eyes and gave us an elevated experience of the most historic day in history. We will be recommending him to all of our close friends and family for sure! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much for your sweet and kind review. I had a great time with all of you. Hope to see you soon again in Normandy !
Our tour guide Boy was incredible. A perfect combination of professionalism and yet very personable. Boy was very knowledgeable of the history to properly allow our small group to experience Normandy. I would give Boy and Neptune my highest recommendation
Thank you Rocco for your review ! It was a memorable day showing you all around the Normandy invasion and battlefields. Glad to read you all had a good experience. Thank you and all the best !
This private American D-Day guided tour with Boy Eysbroek was perhaps the most comprehensive and informative tour I have ever been on anywhere in the world! Boy met our party of 5 at Cherbourg cruise terminal, spent the entire day, roomy, comfortable van. Boy was a veritable encyclopedia of relevant and interesting details regarding D-day, the beaches, the landings, the battles, the whole thing. Personable, engaging and attentive, with a great delivery. Our first stop was Ste Mere Eglise and that stop alone made the trip worthwhile. We spent plenty of time there and at each subsequent stop. We knew we had chosen wisely when we were at Ste Mere Eglise and we witnessed a string of tour buses (no doubt from ship) come and go with barely enough time for those folks to even get off and on the bus before it moved on. Had a wonderful lunch at local establishment.
Thanks Bill for this review and for your time writing it. It was a great day with the group . Glad to read you liked my presentation of the events that happened nearly 80 years ago here in Normandy. Thank you again for choosing Neptune Battle Tours and me to be your guide . Best wishes from Normandy !
