A Riveting Journey Through Normandy's D-Day History with an Exceptional Guide - Our private tour of Normandy with Eric Leboeuf was an unforgettable experience. We spent two days with Eric, and we wish we could have spent even more time exploring the rich history of the region with him. Eric’s extensive knowledge of D-Day history and his passion for the subject matter made the tour truly exceptional. He expertly guided us through the historic sites, providing fascinating insights into the events of June 6, 1944, and the significance of each location.
Eric’s background as an actor added a unique dimension to his storytelling, vividly bringing to life the experiences of the soldiers who fought on the beaches of Normandy. His engaging and detailed explanations made us feel as if we were witnessing the events firsthand. He shared many interesting little stories that helped us understand the sweat and blood shed by the soldiers, making the history come alive in a literal sense.
Eric also explained the strategic importance of each site, helping us appreciate the complexities of the war from a tactical perspective. His ability to connect the historical events with the present-day landscape was impressive, and his enthusiasm was infectious.
Our 10-year-old son, who has a deep interest in World War II history and war strategy, was particularly fascinated by Eric’s explanations and stories. The discussions between Eric and our son were not only engaging but also thought-provoking and inspiring, leaving a lasting impact on all of us.

Best ever! - HP was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his country’s Normandy. We loved hearing every word she shared with us on how that day happened. It was so revealing and somber for us to take in. We have 6 people who were all Americans and we had a great time together. HP had a lot to do with that. he made us all feel welcome.

Moving and informative experience - This tour was a moving tribute to the heroic men and women who fought to free France from the Nazi occupation of WWII. Especially moving was the lowering of the flags at the American cemetery in Colleville which included the playing of taps.
Our guide David offered the perfect combination of a guided tour with plenty of free time for exploring on our own.
