Our day at Belleau Wood - What an outstanding trip to Belleau Wood, France. Our tour guide, Jozef, absolutely made the day for me. He was attentive to my every need, (I am a 76 year old Marine), and truly cared about how I was enjoying the experience. He took me to all the sights I wanted to see. We visited the Devil Dog Fountain and he even provided a jug for me to fill as I had forgotten to bring one. At the American cemetery he convinced the caretakers to allow me to participate in the flag lowering. My grandson and I had just finished an 11 day tour (from a different tour company) of Normandy and Bastogne. But the tour with Jozef is the day I will always remember. The most memorable and outstanding day of our trip to France. I cannot recommend this this man highly enough. HIs knowledge, attention to details and outgoing personality were a real treat. Any Marine, currently serving, retired or like me who served way back when and who wants to learn more of this battle and visit the fountain, needs to book with Jozef. I know my grandfather, a Marine that was at Belleau Wood that June in 1918 was looking down (hopefully not up) and smiling.

Marines of Belleau Wood, WWI battlle fields and monuments - I cannot say enough about what a great tour we had of the WWI battle sites & monuments around Belleau Wood. Accommodating us with a second car so the wives could also be part of the tour with our Marine & FMF Corpsmen spouses was greatly apprecicated! Jozef, your knowledge, communication and hospitality skills are unsurpassed and made the tour come alive for each of us. Thank you also to our second driver, Emily. Her family stories of Normandy made the drive very intersting.
