British Beaches 2024 - Our guides were terrific! Igor told many poignantly stories relating to Gold Beach and the Rhys cemetery. Almandine did a fantastic job explaining the German defenses. Both guides were knowledgeable, personable and patiently answered questions. Riding in the jeeps - and the terrific pictures of the day - will be family memories for years to come. We would highly recommend this tour to our friends sndnfsmolyn

The best day out in Normandy - An absolutely brilliant tour with Vincent, his knowledge was fantastic. He took us to some great locations that you’d never know were there and all the must see sites, explaining everything along the way together with all the background information. A must do if you’re visiting Normandy.

Very interesting with a lot of details - As a French tourist from my own country, I can say that our guide has a huge knowledge of all events about WWII and June 6th D-Day. His explainations were very clear and we fully can advise this tour (It was Gold Beach tour).

A memorable experience for all the family. - The knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide Eric was brilliant and from the moment that he pulled up to collect us in the Jeep the kids (13 & 9) knew they were going to have a great afternoon. The noise and feel of the Jeep really added to the experience, as did the old photos that Eric showed us when we were position in exactly the same spot nearly 80 years later. The tour wasn’t rigid and we were asked what we wanted to see so that we could tick off the main things and then we went with Eric’s suggestions to show us some sites that we weren’t aware of. Having the knowledge of Eric was brilliant for the kids and the Jeep made it a special and very memorable day. I would recommend this to those with children the same age as ours or adults without children.

Excellent Remembrance Tour - There’s no better way to try to capture a glimpse of what 1940’s Normandy was like than to ride thru the streets and hedgerows of Normandy’s liberated towns in a vintage Jeep Willy. With the overcast and drizzle/rain, it was humbling to imagine what the soldiers endured. Our guide, Eric, was informative and told us poignant historical details as we traveled from one location to another. As a passionate WWII buff, he shared locations that were not the typical D-Day tour locations and were only accessible by the Jeep. If you are looking for something more in-depth and off the beaten path, then this tour is for you.
