James Vercaigne, our tour guide, was fantastic. His pacing was perfect and he offered excellent explanations for what we saw on the tour of the Normandy beaches and military cemeteries. He was also kind and thoughtful and answered everyone of our questions.

We had a tour with Thomas and, as luck would have it, we were the only two. Thomas is perhaps the most passionate and informative tour guide for the topic of our keen interest, that of the D-Day invasion and events of the time. But what surprised us was his deep understanding and desire to know more of the actual soldiers who fought. We have a relative who fought and ultimately gave his life during this period and it meant much to have such an interested guide. We feel lucky. Thank you very much. And, we would dearly appreciate any additional information Thomas might find regarding our relative’s actual places of service, etc.

Excellent tour of the DDay beaches and American cemetery Our tour guide David was very informative and gave us lots of time to visit the beaches. Also timed it so we could hear taps play at the lowering of the flag at the cemetery. Highly recommend

The tour guide Eliza was incredible. She helped us with parking which was limited and her extensive knowledge of the history of the area combined with stories of her family’s personal history made for a very personal and informative tour.

We had the pleasure of doing the half-day tour with Marion today, and it was extremely thorough and informative and well worth our time and money. I highly recommend this tour and our teenage boys got a lot out of it as did my husband and I
