A Must Do Tour - Our guide Maggie was the best. So knowledgeable. Wish I’d done the full day tour. Enjoyed going into a bunker, seeing Omaha beach and the taps ceremony at the cemetery. Tugs at the heart seeing how many young men gave their lives so others could experience life and freedom.

Great American D-Day Tour - Mael was a great tour guide with lots of stories and info to share. It was nice being in a small group so we could ask questions and really get into details.

Great small group tour. - Maggie was a wonderful guide- she did a nice job of explaining the history of Normandy and leading us around the D-Day beaches. She changed the order of our itinerary to allow us to avoid larger crowds, while still seeing everything and staying within time restrictions. We saw what we wanted to see but would definitely recommend the full day tour if you want time to see the museums.

Memorable and Moving Experience - What an incredible experience! The tour hits the important site, like Omaha Beach and the American cemetery. Plenty of time to appreciate the site and pay your respects. Matt was an amazing guide--very knowledgable and did a great job telling the story of D-Day (and the days after). We learned so much.

Super Informative - Matt was one of THE BEST tour guides we’ve ever experienced. His knowledge of the history around Normandy and his passion for the story were unparalleled. He truly made you ‘feel’ what it might have been like to be a soldier in the 1940s in Normandy. I don’t give reviews as often as I should but I wanted to make sure to highlight how much we enjoyed and appreciated our tour with Matt.
