Memorable trip to Normandy - We were two couples staying in Honfleur two days prior to embarking on a cruise out of LeHavre. We contacted Gilles months in advance and never had a worry that our trip to Normany would fall through. He picked us up at our VRBO apartment in a very clean Mercedes van complete with water and great snacks. Gilles was so knowledgeable about the entire area from Honfleur to the Normandy points of interest. He gave us some time to explore the beaches and American Cemetery on our own. I would highly recommend him. Additionally, we needed transportation to the cruise port the next day and he contacted a driver friend of his to get us to the port. Thank you Gilles for a memorable experience!

Strongly recommended !!! - If the beaches of Normandy are impressive by themselves, our experience would most certainly not have been the same without Gilles to guide us. Site by site, he gives us the full story, with background details and never heard before anecdotes to help us grasp the stakes of D-Day. Funny and incredibly attentive, Gilles, his van and his snacks are THE best way to visit Normandy. Strongly recommend ! Patricia and the Family

An unforgettable experience! - An amazing and exciting day! Gilles brilliantly traced the history of the Second World War with extremely advanced knowledge for each of the sites we visited: the Pointe d’Hoc, the American cemetery, Omaha beach, Arromanches... A Guide that totally exceeded our expectations, and that made this day unforgettable. On the program: history, culture, anecdote...and many laughs 🤭 So if you want to discover the landing beaches, do not hesitate and contact Gilles!!!!!

Excellent full-day excursion to the beaches of Normandy - Gilles was an incredible tour guide (and driver!) We had a very intense (in a good way) and emotional day learning about the heroism and tragedy that occurred on D-Day. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone staying in the Honfleur area that is interested in taking a full-day excursion to the beaches of Normandy!

Amazing tour with an exceptional guide - The visit to Omaha Beach would not have been the same without Gilles's guide. The service was perfect and exploring these places with a local guide was a true luxury. I strongly recommend Gills. He is the number 1.

Gilles Denis: Tour Guide extraordinaire ! - Impossible to overstate what a magnificent guide is Gilles Denis. We are two couples arriving Honfleur by cruise ship, and engaged Gilles for a full day guided tour. Every single aspect, from initial booking to scheduling communication to itinerary planning could not have been better. Gilles picked us up at the port, explained the history of the war and post war era, took us to major and minor battle sites, the incredibly moving American Cemetery, small villages, etc. My advice: If perchance Gilles is not available on your first choice day to tour, change your date! So that he will be available. Thanks so much Gilles.
