Marine was so knowledgable about the events of WWII and the Normandy Invasion. She made our tour perfect by sharing information and allowing us to spend time experiencing the sites and memorials. I felt very proud to be an American and proponent of democracy for all.

My family of 4 had a great experience on our half day tour of Normandy! Marine was a great guide, she is from the area but spoke perfect English. We left right on time and saw 3 highlights- pointe du hoc, Omaha beach, and the cemetery. At each stop our guide pointed out important things then gave us free time to walk around. We debated full day or half day tour- for our teens half day was perfect! We took the train from Paris in the morning and had a couple hours to walk around the town of Bayeux before the tour. Bring layers- it can be very windy!

Decent short tour. Left and returned right on time. Tour guide spoke good English and had great knowledge - would have liked a bit more info on sites - like showing us inside bunkers and pointing out details. Else it was a nice tour.

Marine was a great guide. She was so knowledgeable and explained each step of the tour and what exactly we were seeing where we were standing. It was an impactful tour especially for a half day. Marine went out of her way to make it an unforgettable experience.

We had a great experience with our tour guide Romarine (Roma). She was very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions and show us little extras along the way. Her visuals were great and helped explain things to see exactly what and where she was talking about. She got us to the cemetery just before flag lowering and that was an awesome, solemn sight. I would do this tour again to learn more and go more places and I would love Roma to be our guide. She went Above and beyond her call of duty
