Excellent tour to learn and expand your knowledge of D-Day

Allison_S, May 2024

My 21-year-old son and I had a great time on this tour. We learned a lot and had a excellent experience with our tour guide and the rest of the group as we visited sites.

Insightful Half Day D-Day Tour

Billie_G, May 2024

Chloe was our tour guide for the half day D-Day tour! She shared her love for the history of D-Day and France with us and two other couples. Very insightful trip. Gave us a vivid tour through the German bunkers and pillboxes at Pont-du-Hoc, then took us to Omaha Beach … one of two US landing sites on D-Day. Final stop was the site of the US Cemetery. Over 9000 US casualties on June 6, 1944. The future of keeping history alive will soon depend on young guides like Chloe! As a result, we will be more engaged in learning much more about WWII military history. Thank you Chloe!

DDay tour

karen_g, May 2024

Our guide John was very informative and it was a pleasure to listen to his stories as well as the many facts he shared with us. The trip was perfect - just long enough at each stop to take in the history and the emotions of what happened there 80 years ago. We visited the main spots of the battle of Normandy and saw so much. It is definitely worth the time if you are in the area.

A historic tour ………..

Kathleen_M, May 2024

Our guide was wonderful. He shared history throughout our drive to each site as well. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the tour.

Definitely worth the money

Rachel_S, May 2024

This was a great trip. Our guide gave us lots of information and chance to ask questions. Comfortable and spacious transport to each stop. Very thought provoking and gives a new understanding of the sacrifices made by so many young men.

Good times!

Erika_V, May 2024

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! We had such a great time and learned so much. Super thanks for a fun and educational outing!

Worth the time

charles_c, Apr 2024

Valentin was an EXCELLENT guide. Well worth the time. This tour was limited to a small group of 6 riding in a van. We were able to visit several locations, from bunkers to Omaha beach to the US cemetery. Also got great recommendations for other locations to visit which we took him up on.

robert_b, Apr 2024

excellent tour and the guide was really great and really did a nice job explaining the history and significance of the events that took place. ...this is a must see.

Moving, informative, and also wet!

candace_f, Apr 2024

The American cemetery was moving and we were there for the lowering of the flag and taps. Charles gave us a great tour and included many historical anecdotes. It poured and lightning and thunder, but it did not deter our experience.

Awesome

Reinhold_K, Mar 2024

Tour was awesome. Appreciated the insight and historical information from guides. Beautiful scenery.

Our Normandy Tour

Thea_J, Mar 2024

Seeing the beaches and hearing the history of the actual battles in Normandy was so impactful. Visiting the memorials demonstrated the sacrifices that were made by so many to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent.

An absolute must!!! Best tour and tour guide!!!!

Marcia_K, Mar 2024

Matt was AMAZING!!! We learned so much about D Day and WWII. We really appreciated Matt's enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. Seeing the different sites and hearing the stories brought this incredible chapter in our history to life. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

Far exceeded expectations!

Kristin_W, Mar 2024

The best four hour tour we could imagine. Matt is incredible. His passion for his job radiates from the moment he picks you up. His years and years of research and experience with DDay ensures that everyone will learn quite a bit - regardless of how much you think you know. Just incredible. Highly recommend!

Best tour guide in France

Kim_P, Mar 2024

This D Day tour was one of our favorite adventures during our 10 day trip to France and London. Our tour guide Matt was AMAZING! He was a wealth of knowledge! He shared so many stories that really helped us better understand World War II and the great sacrifices that were made to preserve our freedoms. We only had time for a half day tour but wish we could have spent a full day with Matt. In fact, we wish he could have been our personal tour guide for everything we visited this trip. If we ever return to Normandy, we will most definitely request Matt again!

Terrific tour

Mary_E, Feb 2024

Matt was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable about the history of D-Day and brought it to life for us. He answered all of our questions along the way. There were some showers here and there but overall we were lucky with the weather and even saw a rainbow shining over Omaha Beach. We enjoyed every minute of this tour.

Excellent tour. Ask for Matt Turner.l

Molly_R, Feb 2024

Our guide Matt made all the difference. His depth of knowledge and perspectives on the subject, engaging personality and obvious passion for sharing his knowledge rates this a superior and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

The guide Stephen is very...

ChiWai_T, Jan 2024

The guide Stephen is very informative. many thanks for taking me to some major sites about the D-Day.

Very moving and powerful...

Eric_B, Dec 2023

Very moving and powerful experience. Our guide was exceptional, the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He was very knowledgeable very passionate. The guide made our tour the experience of a life time.

Couldn’t have been better!

Jane_W, Dec 2023

This tour could not have been better. Matt - our tour guide - had clearly done extensive research on the history of D-Day and the region and was able to bring events to life through his story telling. He added lots of colour and context to events that we would never have received from a self tour or museum visit. We had members of our group aged from early teens to seniors and everyone loved the tour. Highly recommend!!
