Excursão privada com desembarque nas praias de Bayeux

A wealth of knowledge and passion for history. Jonathan knew everyone's name within the first 5 minutes and we quickly felt like good friends. He accommodated our needs to move at a slower pace with patience and skill. We saw things we would have never noticed/seen without him. Highly recommend! Professional, prompt, and fun to be around.

Jonathan was an excellent guide. He had knowledge of all the little things that allowed us to learn the history of anything we looked at. He was informative on the drives to our locations, and had pictures from 1944 that helped shape our experience. As a family of 6, Jonathan was good with the kids. He helped us navigate the beaches and history of D-day, which was a bucket list item for my teen son. I appreciate his safe driving and great recommendations for other places to check out beyond our tour. He certainly made our experience much better, and it's well worth the investment to have a local who knows the area, the history, and the language. Highly recommend.

The best way to experience Normandy is with Jonathan! If you do one thing while visiting, make it a tour with him. He brought us to Omaha and Utah beaches, Sainte-Mere-Eglise, the American cemetery and the German cemetery. We learned so much, even my history buff husband was blown away. Also, the freedom of having him drive and explain things along the way gave us the opportunity to absorb information and really see what is around us, instead of having to figure out where we were going. We had our three children with us on the tour, and he was so patient with them, explained things so they could understand, and catered the tour to ensure they had fun, too. We couldn’t recommend Jonathan more - this was the highlight of our trip!

Jonathan was punctual with a clean, comfortable people carrier and was friendly and informative throughout the tour.

My husband and I spent the better part of three days with Jonathan touring the Normandy landing beaches and related sites. Both of us are well read on the subject but Jonathan's knowledge was so helpful and insightful. He was quick to change his agenda to meet our needs and questions. We could not have been more pleased with the presentation not guide.

Our family booked a tour of Utah beach and the surrounding area with Jonathan and we could not have been more pleased. Jonathan was everything you want in a tour guide - an engaging storyteller possessing vast knowledge who is extremely passionate about WW II history. Even after our flight to France was canceled, Jonathan was able to modify our tour to accommodate our changed schedule which allowed us to see everything we came to Bayeux to enjoy. Jonathan made our visit an enjoyable and memorable experience.

We loved our tour and were thankful to have Jonathan as a tour guide. He explained the history of D-Day very well and gave us time to walk around the sites at our own pace. We definitely recommend Jonathan if you are wanting to learn more about the history in the Normandy region.

Jonathan met and exceeded our expectations for a perfect private tour of the Normandy landing beaches. He shared knowledge of not just the D Day operations but the local areas as well. He spoke beautiful English. He even went out of his way to make sure my father met up with a friend from home on a tour from a cruise ship and I was touched over his sensitivity and concern for a rough time I had during the day for a personal issue at home. Do not hesitate if looking to book his tour. I am not a war buff but this will probably be my favorite day in France thanks to Jonathan.

We had an incredible experience with Jonathan. This was our third trip to Normandy and the first for my teenage sons. We went to many of the same places my husband and I have visited previously but discovered new experiences and learned so much. Jonathan is local and brings a fantastic perspective and has so many stories and a wealth of knowledge to share. He also helped my husband track down information about his best friend’s great uncle who lost his life on D-day and we were able to visit his grave in the American Cemetery. I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough. He will boost your experience 1000%!

Jonathan Hale - Normandy History Tours - is an exceptionally talented and wonderful tour guide in Normandy. My husband and I spent three days with Jonathan touring the World War II battle sites, Mont Saint Michel, and may other historical sites throughout these days. Jonathan is a historian with a wonderfully detailed knowledge of the places we visited. He’s an excellent storyteller, patient and curious to understand his clients’s goals, flexible to adapt in real time to the conditions on the ground, and so well connected in his community. We explored and learned so much with Jonathan’s guidance, and moved at a pace that suited us well. We would highly recommend Jonathan and his company Normandy History Tours.
