Excellent tour of Normandy sites - Absolutely fantastic tour!! Our guide Gwenaël was so knowledgeable, and very pleasant to spend the day with. We toured Omaha Beach, Point du Hoc, the American Cemetery, and several key sites depicted in Band of Brothers. The van was comfortable for our multigenerational group of 6. He also spoke perfect English which made it easy for our group to follow along. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Fabulous D Day Excursion - The tour was great. Sophie was so knowledgeable on all, as she could answer many questions, keep the story flowing, and made sure we understand all. Our stop to Utah beach was a nice bonus before our last stop. She is a wonderful guide, full of energy...a memorable experience that we highly recommend to all touring D Day history! B and B

An immersive experience of Easy Company’s DDay - Wow, what an amazing day tour! Our guide Sophie was absolutely fantastic, she was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, & just made the day extra special. Our small group of 7 people retraced the steps of Easy Company from those very early hours of DDay, when they bravely dropped behind enemy lines, which was an incredible thing to be able to do & experience first hand. The first stop of the tour was made at Omaha beach where Sophie eloquently spoke about the landing, difficulties faced by the landing troops, and positions of the German gun placements, we also had some time here to walk and reflect on the beach. Next we visited Pointe du Hoc, the viewing platform above the cliff face, and also went inside the bunker. The morning finished with our visit to the beautiful, but very emotional Colleville sur Mer cemetery where we had an hour to slowly walk around and again reflect on the huge sacrifice that was made. In the afternoon Sophie then expertly guided us on the ‘Band of Brothers’ part of the tour where we visited St Mere Église, Marmion Farm, we saw the nearby hedgerows from where combat took place, Brecourt Manor and the memorial there to Easy Company as well as the nearby statue of Major Winters, & finally a brief stop at Carentan. We enjoyed this tour very much indeed and highly recommend it as it really didn’t disappoint in any way. The tour itself was very well organised, on time, has excellent content, and was everything we hoped it would be.

Sophie - the BEST!!!!! - Sophie did an absolutely amazing and outstanding job educating us all on the events surrounding June 6th, 1944. We visited some out of the way spots with intense history behind what went on around that time……we loved this tour and mais oui, Sophie won our hearts James Randy and Barbara 👍

Great informative tour! - Our guide, Sophie was so friendly and knowledgeable. With the smaller van we were able to quickly park and go to places that larger buses could not access. We feel that we got a very good description of what happened on D-Day. We would highly recommend Sophie and Band of Brothers Tours.
