5.00Our English guide Roma was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and knew how to tell the complex history in a way that was easy to understand. She was not only a great communicator but also a very friendly and lovely person! She drove us to places that would be hard to navigate on our own. I highly recommend Roma and the D-day tour.

5.00My husband and I had a great experience with this day long Normandy Beaches . The meet up with our tour guide was easy. Naomi was friendly and full of information. She gave full , interesting information to paint the picture of the planning and execution of D-Day. The lunch/museum stop could have been longer - it was hard to see both the museum and have a meal as well. We enjoyed the day- it is a lot of information to take in but well worth the time. Thank you for a great tour Naomi.
Excellent tour

5.00Well worth the long day tour to understand the many facets of the operations that occurred on that day and in that time. The American cemetery was very impressive and Roma even stopped to show us the German cemetery on the ride back to see the stark differences between the two. It is very windy so be aware of this for the weather is chilly. Roma was an excellent guide who is passionate and knowledgeable and projects her voice well.
