We were very impressed with our tour guide's knowledge of the details of the invasion both from the German perspective and the British and American perspective. I feel like I learned so much more by being there with someone who could bring the details of the invasion to me as I stood right on Omaha beach. Our guide also drew a picture on the sand of the entire attack which helped us to understand everything that happened.

Great tour; GREAT tour leader. She was very informed and clearly had a passion for the history and area. There was a lot of ground to cover but it didn't feel rushed. It was a very emotional moving experience.

We enjoyed our tour very much. We visited the areas where the airborne troops landed, including the church where is a replica of the soldier hanging from the church steeple. We visited oint du hoc including the bunkers and gun emplacements. The tour of the American cemetery was a very sobering expderience. We were struck by the beauty and location of the cemetery grounds (directly above Omaha Beach. My wife is unable to walk any substantial distance and our guide Matthew was extemely knowledgeble of the events of the landing and he obtained a wheel chair and took her on a complete tour of the cemetery. Our tour could not have been better. We now have a much better knowledge of the the D-day landing including the logistics that took place before and during the landing. We shall alwahys be indebted to the young men who participated for their bravery and sacrifice.

We throughly enjoyed our Normandy Tour. Our tour guide, Adrien, was very informative and knew the history of the American Battle of Normandy. The time flew by as there is so much to see and absorb. As we drove Adrien gave us history and answered our questions. It was such an interesting day. The next day we did the museum at Caen on our own at Adriens suggestion. Very worth your time but expect to be there for a number of hours. Purchase the audio. It is a good to follow up on a great Normandy tour. Thanks Adrien.

It was like visiting the movie "Saving Private Ryan" even though I was told only the beginning part of the movie was true. The tour was very informative and interesting even though it was super windy and rainy and cold. I loved it and turned out my tour was so much better than this other tour, that I heard of on that same day, (Rick someone's tour) where the guide brought people into his living room for half of his tour just to talk. Anyway, thanks for the great experience!!!

Loved this. Seeing the cliffs of Omaha Beach put things into perspective. The bunkers and guns were a definite highlight. Although the US Cemetery was a little 'Hollywood', the museum is top notch. Go there first so you have enough time.

Better than I expected. The guide, Mathew, was very knowledgable and all of his facts coincided with my readings. His demenor was perfect for his job and my wife, who has but a passing interest in Overloard,,found herself captivated by Mathew's discourse. I was also impressed by the Normandy landscape and culture and believe the next visit will entail a much longer stay.

While the weather could have been better (it was rainy), the tour guide made it a 5-star tour. He was not only informative, but very accommodating. He made adjustments to our site visits based on the weather and what interested us most. He also picked an excellent restaurant that was very family-oriented since we were travelling with twin one-year old babies.
