Normandy Private Trip: Guide: Jozef Prihoda (wife and business manager Deborah Saulnier). We (2 couples in our mid 70s) did a two-day private tour with Jozef in June 2023 with pick up in Paris, overnight in Bayeux, and then drop off back in Paris. Jozef was TERRIFIC!! He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of D-Day and how the invasion of Normandy enfolded on sea, in the air and on the land. He was able to explain both the allied and German strategies and brought us to sights that brough his explanations to life. He also regaled us with endless stories that were at time poignant and sad and at other times comic. The weather for the two days was mainly cold, windy, and rainy. Jozef remained flexible and was able to adapt which sight we saw when to minimize standing in the cold rain. Deborah recommended a wonderful hotel (Villa Lara) and booked an incredible delicious dinner for us at a gem of a restaurant (La Rapiere) for our one night in Bayeux. The tour was all Jozef and he was great!! Our collective opinion is that if you want a guided tour of Normandy, you could not do any better.

We did a 10 day tour with Jozef and it was PERFECTION! I had an idea of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go but there were so many places I didn't even know existed that Jozef shared with us! This is what made the trip five stars for me. We started in Paris, headed to Fountainbleu and Chartres. From there we went to St. Malo stopping in Le Mans along the way which was a wonderful experience! From there, we spent a night on Mont St. Michel before heading to Bayeux and Rouen and experiencing some of the most memorable places of our lives including Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery and many key places that were turning points in WWII. Without Jozef, we never would have known about nor seen these remote places or had these experiences. We are so grateful for his knowledge and passion for his tours. We have never experienced that level of commitment from a tour guide and I doubt we ever will again, as he was exemplary in every way. I would be remiss not to mention Giverny. Strolling the gardens was a truly memorable part of our trip. I would recommend not missing this as it is fantastic in every way. We finished our trip in the Champagne region spending 3 days touring the cellars, tasting champagne and eating delicious food all recommended by Jozef. This trip was first class thanks to him. Spending 10 days with someone you don't know can be difficult. We take several long trips every year and have not always had these excellent experiences with our guides. We got so lucky with Jozef. There were 4 of us (two couples) and we still, several weeks later keep telling each other how much we miss him. We will be signing up for many more trips with Jozef in the future and cannot wait to see him again. As we said, Jozef started off as our guide, turned into our friend and ended up as our family. Thank you Jozef for one of the best trips of our lives!

Our tour with Emilie was great. She explained the history, area and was very professional and courteous. We toured Omaha and Gold beaches as well as the American National Cemetery. Additionally, we stopped for lunch at the town near Gold Beach. It was a long day, but well worth the commitment.
