D Day tour 6/14/24 - Killian was excellent guide for our half day tour. He had many facts and we spent great time at Omaha Beach, Point du Hoc and American cemetery. First class guide & trip.

D Day invasion: the beaches, the men, the cemetery - John, our tour guide was excellent. John helped to bring the entire D Day experience to life for us. He was knowledgeable, thorough, informative, and a great storyteller. The complex issues involved in the landings at D Day were made very clear, and John did a fantastic job explaining all of the artifacts left on the site. We also saw the American cemetery with its endless rows of crosses and stars with the young American soldiers killed that day to save their country. We were there for taps and the lowering of the flag. Very moving. A day not to be forgotten. Thank you, John.

Great, awesome - John was very knowledgeable, and communicated well. The tour was fantastic and covered all the main highlights. John knew some small details that might not get shared on a self guided tour.

Highlights of Normandy Landing with a lovely guide and knowledgeable group - Despite a 30 minute delay in pick up due to van problems we enjoyed our D- Day tour with Chloe very much. She was knowledgeable, sweet, delightful. As adult children of fathers who fought in WW2 we were very touched to see the landing beaches, bunkers, and monuments. In addition the American Cemetery was heartbreaking but as good a statement one might make on the tragedy of war. We had a nice small group who bonded and many were able to add information to the history enlivening the experience.

Good ONLY IF you get a good guide! - A good tour IF you have the right guide! Unfortunately on May 25,2024 we did not! The tour takes you to 3 incredible places that are worth seeing but our tour was basically a taxi to these sites. Our guide's lack of knowledge of the D-Day invasion was mind boggling! Now, to be fair, I heard other guides from this same company that were Amazing. However, Our guide thought the British airborne objective at Pegasus Bridge (Orne River and first shots fired on D-Day) was to blow it up?!? Incorrect! She then admitted to not knowing much about the airborne operations. Ok ...but then when asked to point out where the Germans were likely located on Omaha she did not know! And this kept going. She was incredibly nice and got us safely to our spots but I could not trust her information (what little she gave). This tour was a waste of time and a huge waste of money. I could have done and learned way more by myself. Very disappointing! Book at your own risk. You may get one of their outstanding older guides or one who stated she has never seen Saving Private Ryan yet gives a "tour" of Omaha Beach! Sad!

Location Meeting Error for Tour - Due to a location error on my part, we missed the departure time for the tour. I called the tour office and the phone attendant was very rude. We went to Bayeux from Paris to tour Normandy so it was very disappointing.
