5.00My girlfriend and I signed up for a small group tour but ended up being the only two with our fantastic tour guide Robin. Not only was Robin incredibly knowledgeable about World War II and the Normandy region, but he was also a very kind and personable man. He I socialized the experience to our interests and it was very clear how good the f a person he was. Robin took time to genuinely get to know us, making our experience unforgettable. Overall, our tour was spectacular, largely due to our wonderful guide.

5.00This is a wonderful half day tour of Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, and Point du Hoc. Our guide, Charlie, was very passionate about the war in his words, in his careful and deliberate depictions and sketches of what the Allied soldiers experienced on D day. I felt totally immersed and in the guide of an expert who truly made the experience worthwhile. You will have an opportunity to see the intimidating cliffs the US rangers had to scale to storm the German gun batteries and awe in just how difficult that feat would have been. You will see the American cemetery where the thousands of lives were given over the course of the war to fight tyranny. If you time it right, you will get to see the taps ceremony at 1600 which undoubtedly evokes a sense of admiration and sadness. Finally, seeing the same beach the thousands of Allied soldiers stormed under terrible weather conditions and sheer bad luck really gives you a perspective on what sacrifice truly means. I highly recommend the tour.
