Amazing experience with... - Amazing experience with Kate! Small group of people- one group of 4 from PEI and us from Alberta. Kate took us to key points in the Canadian involvement on Dday- informative and emotional day. Every Canadian should come here at least once.

Canadian Tour - I seldom leave reviews anywhere unless I have super experience. We spent an excellent day with Eric and two of his colleagues. Apparently our family has the honour of being the first on the 2025 Canadian Tour season. Very informative and eye-opening. It was great having a bilingual Canadian guide providing the Canadian experience. Only regret is not being able to stay a few extra days and experience more. Highly recommended. Andre and family from Ottawa.

Great Experience! - We met Eric, our tour guide, at the pick-up point, Place du Quebec and headed towards the Canadian D-Day beaches. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. In addition to his formal presentation (a binder with maps and photos), he had a number of stories and observations that enhanced our visit, and always had time to answer our questions. We spent the morning visiting the 3 Canadian beaches and the Juno Beach museum. The museum includes some artifacts from D-Day but also includes a great deal of information about Canada (1939-1945) and its overall involvement in WWII. After a brief lunch we followed the paths of the Canadians as they moved inland toward Caen. The tour terminated with the tragic events of the massacre of captured Canadian troops by the 12th SS Division at Authie and at the Abbey d'Ardenne. Eric provided background information at every stop and then allowed us time to take photos and to explore the plaques and monuments. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the Canada's contribution to the Normandy invasion.

A truly memorable trip to Juno Beach - This was a highlight of our trip to France. Eric was a fantastic guide, explaining in great detail the history of the Canadian role during DDay and of the Juno beach assault in particular. To witness the places you have only read about, with Eric’s guidance was truly memorable. This is the tour that anyone interested in DDay and in the Canadian contribution in particular should take.

Normandy from the Canadian Perspective - We had an excellent tour with Alex who not only took us to Juno Beach and the museum, but really helped us to understand what the Canadians contributed to the Normandy battles and the cost of that contribution. He figured out the route and battles my Dad participated in which has inspired me to respect my Dad’s service even more. It was one of the most meaningful days of my life.
