    Well worth it! A very comfortable ride and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was a nice small group so it felt very personalized. Just enough time to look around on our own.

    The tour was amazing. The tour guides, Anna and Oliver, provided a good overview of D Day history, making it interesting. They also did well to express appropriate solemnity. They were accommodating, as was Norman, the driver. I walk with a cane, and all three were helpful and did not rush me. Make sure to eat before the trip as there is no stop for a snack or meal. They did provide water halfway through. So know that the only toilets were at the museum at the beginning and the cemetery.

    It was very moving to see Utah and Omaha beaches. We also visited the American cemetery. Our guide gave us a lot of great information and interesting stories.
