Excellent Private Dunkirk Tour - Claude was an excellent guide showing us key sites, museums, and cemeteries all related to the evacuation of troops at Dunkirk. He also took us to a lovely lunch spot with the most delicious food, which was included in the tour. Claude made the tour convenient by picking us up at our hotel in Lille. Thanks, Claude! We highly recommend this private tour.

Memorable - Historic - Meaningful - Driver knowledgeable and considerate. Tour was private so it gave us personal time to linger in cemetery and museums. He knew his history and added value to scenes. He made it a highlight of this trip! Loved the small cemetery with Muslims, Jews, British, and Germans all respectfully remembered with headstones that marked their faiths and nationalities. Touching.

Memorable tour of the historic Dunkirk site - Claude was very friendly and had solid knowledge of the world wars. His genuine interest in the wars made the tour much more immersive. He was on time, spoke good English. Really couldn’t ask for more for a tour. It was a tour that me and my son will remember forever. Highly recommended for others to add this tour on top of the standard France tourist stops. Thanks, Claude.
