Great tour, very knowledgable guide - Thomas is a great guide who is local to the area. He's extremely knowledgable and has lots of stories to share that help bring his tour alive. I bring small groups of high school students abroad and Thomas will be my go-to guide from here on out. Highly recommend!

We loved it and could not recommend it more ! - We had two days touring with this company. One full day van tour, the other day was the premium experience, with an immersive 1 hour jeep tour in the bocage of Normandy. We loved it and will come back for sure.

Awesome ! - We loved listening to our guide's explanations throughout the day, Omaha Beach, the Colleville American Cemetery. Our guides were locals, and have lots of anecdotes. In my opinion the best way to visit is with locals whose grandparents have told a whole bunch of stories!
