Anton was our guide on February 17th. I was unable to walk distances because of a leg problem and when I saw the first stop, I elected to wait in the van. When Anton asked I explained my problem to him. This wonderful guide knew where to obtain a wheel chair at the next two stops! As a result I was able to see the tour. It wouldn't have been possible without his incentive. Thank you Anton, you are a great guide and good driver! It was a wonderful and emotional tour for me. My husband and I were thrilled with Anton's ability to solve my problem. The trip was organized, unhurried and timed so that we could see the flags lowered and hear Taps.

Our driver was punctual, incredibly accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable, allowing us to relax and enjoy our tour. The audiotour, though we had some technical difficulties initially, was just what we needed (as we were two families traveling with children of various ages and various levels of interest and attention). The stops chosen on the tour were just enough for our day-long tour with just enough time at each. The van was comfortable for 8 of us and the driver provided bottled water (and was sure to stop at clean, well-equipped gas stations/convenience stores along the way so that we could stock up on snacks, use the toilet, etc.) The restaurant that we stopped at had very good food (kid friendly, too) at reasonable prices and with excellent service as well. We were thrilled with our tour, knowing that we could truly have spent an entire week in Normandy had we had more time on our trip.

Our driver Pascal picked us up at our hotel for a private tour of Normandy beaches and D-day sites. He allowed us as much time as we wanted to explore each area. Well worth the price.

This was by far our favorite day of our entire trip in France. Our driver was very knowledgeable, was able to change our itinerary based on our needs and desires. He went out of his way to make sure our day was a success. I can't say enough positive about this tour.
