The Normandy excursion delivered everything we had hoped for and more. Our guide, Maja, prepared an extensive narrative without sounding scripted, and she ably responded to many questions from our busload of American tourists. She ably led the sizable group over several stops, leaving no one to feel left behind or overly rushed.
Powerful and touching visit

Maja, our tour guide,was sensational. Not only knowledgeable, but friendly, professional and very organized. She told the story of D Day in such a way that she made you visualize exactly what happened that day. She also called a guy who knew a guy and changed the weather to blue skies and sunshine. Our Driver Jacque was excellent. He and Maja were a perfect team. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Maja is so knowledgeable and an amazing tour guide. I love the history and stories and am humbled by the sacrifices of those who went before and helped liberate and paid the ultimate price for freedom. Maja was super accommodating to various needs and the tour was fantastic to have accomodations for lunch for allergies. Definitely recommend this tour and Maja for your guide!
