Poor Time Management

2.00Please either speak louder, or get a megaphone for bus announcements/speaking. The most free time we received during the tour was for lunch; which felt like a waste. Myself and other members of the grou p discussed how this was a waste. Time would be b etter spent during the historical stops so we could f ully take in the experience. Rather than constantly w atching the clock to ensure we did not miss the bus. 15 mins on Omaha Beach is a complete rip off and waste of money. Pointe du Loc felt rushed as well.

5.00Zoltan our travel guide and Zach our bus driver were AMAZING!!! Zoltan was extremely knowledgeable and was so patient with questions-long travel day and his energy never once dimmed and Zach and his driving was incredible! Such narrow narrow roads and we felt completely safe and I didn’t get car sick once-10 out of 10 stars! Everything ran on time!

3.00A more knowledgeable guide would have made the trip much better. Also a microphone and earpieces would have been a great help. He walked so fast and was so far away from those in the back of the trip that we missed a lot of his talk.
