This was the best Normandy WWII tour we could have asked for during our visit to France. We booked a private tour, and it was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Igor, picked us up in a comfortable Mercedes and took us through the history of WWII in Europe while visiting some of the most important battle sites from D-Day, including Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, and Sainte-Mère-Église. Igor was extremely knowledgeable and made the history come alive as we traveled from one site to another. Having a private guide gave us the opportunity to really understand what happened at each location rather than simply seeing the sites. It was an incredibly interesting, moving, and memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Normandy and interested in WWII history.

Great tour!
Knowledgeable tour guide. Saw many sights. Wish we’d had more time at the American Cemetery though. Overall, a good experience.

Thank you very much for this very kind review. Yes, I am sorry, at this time of year daylight is quite short.

Normandy Beaches & Mont Saint-Michel
What a fantastic tour- extremely informative and very moving. Igor's knowledge of everything Normandy is beyond impressive. From the D-Day battles to the geography/cuisine was amazing. As we drove to/from each site, Igor had videos playing in the car which provided additional historical details. I don't belive there was a question the 4 of asked during the entire day which Igor could not answer with great information. The next day's tour to Mont Saint-Michel was magical. Igor not only had unbelievable information, but knew every alley to avoid the crowds at Mont Saint-Michel. Finished the day at St Malo which capped the tour at a wonderful town/city, with dinner at a fantastic seafood restaurant. Need a tour- Igor is the answer!

Great tour
Great tour, so much to see and would not muss it for the world! Definitely recommend this private operator, he was so knowledgeable about DDay.

Amazing day visiting the D-Day sites.
Our family visited Normandy specifically to see the D-Day sites as my grandfather was there in WWII with the 82nd Airborne. Igor was great at communicating before the trip, recommended a breakfast spot in Bayeux before he picked us up, then took us all over for the day. He was very knowledgeable, had so many photos and videos to go along with his information, and clearly has been doing this for a while. It was a really great day. I can't recommend it enough.

Thank you very much Janna for this very kind review. Again, have a wonderful new year's eve

D Day tour and more
Igor Rosen was a very knowledgeable guide, even though I was familiar with most of the history of D Day, seeing it with an expert in person was incredibly moving. Igor took us to many of the important sites, and gave us many in sights into the battle.

D Day
Igor brought us right into the battle with his history and knowledge of WW 2. My father landed on Utah beach at 10:30 in the morning. Igor personalized that day for us. He was very revenant of the Americans who fought that day for freedom. Thank you Igor. A trip we’ll never forget. Jim Finger

Our Normandy Trip
Our trip totally exceeded our expectations. Igor Rosen totally personalized our experience. My Uncle was a member of the 101st Airborne Division and had jumped into Normandy on D-Day. Igor took us to where his unit could have been, and included a simulated flight on the type of plane he would have jumped from. It was a one day tour, but it was incredibly well planned and we were totally pleased.
