Half day visit to Omaha beach and Cemetery. - Great way to see the best of the Dday invasion. Our driver picked up me and the family at the train station in Bayeux. We had booked a half day experience that included Omaha Beach and the American cemetery. We were there the day after the 80th anniversary and our driver Arthur knew all the secret places and very knowledgeable. The van was super comfortable with climate controls in the back. Would highly recommend.

Incredible D-day tour - Igor was an incredible host for this tour. The hospitality was off the charts. Not only was he knowledgeable about the history of D-day but so much of the context of Normandy that preceded and followed the event. Would recommend this tour and company to anyone

Very interesting, informative and worthwhile! - We had a wonderful tour with Igor. His depth of knowledge was amazing and his ability to explain the sites clearly and with respect was fantastic. The tour was great for a summary of the main sites or if you are limited for time. Of course, you could always spend more time exploring the sites on your own, but a guide with insight who provides context allows you to get the most from your visit. We’d highly recommend Igor and his team.
