Once in a lifetime tour

5.00Such a once in a lifetime experience with Jon! He planned out all of the tours down to the slightest detail to make it an amazing experience! He is so knowledgeable and passionate on everything WW2. We saw where my Grandfather landed on D-DAY and learned about so many heroic men, especially the ones history never taught us about. A truly unforgettable couple of days! Thanks again, Jon
Perfect guide

5.00First off, a naturalEnglish speaking guide makes the tour so much easier for an American. Next: Jon is a walking encyclopedia of the D-Day story. He lives in St Lo - he is part of the story. And lastly, Jon is a kind soul who made the trip special and fun for us.
Great Tour!!!

5.00Jon did a great job tailoring this tour for a group o 70 yr olds with some disabilities. Except for the rain, the 8+ hours we spent with Jon was thoroughly enjoyable and educational. Highly recommend his tour and will do it again if I return to Cherborg.

5.00Jon is a wealth of information! We really enjoyed our tour! It was a cold, rainy day, but it didn't diminish the tour. Sorry again Jon! He took my husband and I to an ATM! Thank you again Jon! It was a world class tour and so very poignant for our 3 American veterans.
Great experience all around.

5.00Jon did a great job narrating and truly describing the build up and the ultimate invasion of D Day. It was very meaningful to me since my Dad landed at Utah Beach. You can tell Jon has a passion and love for the history of the Normandy region. Great experience.
Outstanding and Great Tour Guide

5.00Outstanding trip with out tour guide John. He was a wonderful, personable, full of great stories, and a really nice gent to talk with all day. His excellent knowledge of the individual sites with examples and pictures and then additional explanations made for a fantastic day. He timed our trips to different sites so that we could be at the American cemetery for taking down of the US flag at 4 pm. A very humbling and sobering site. As a retired Admiral I found his knowledge and expertise impressive and exactly what we were looking for. Thank you John.
Best sites were selected for visiting and seeing what happened on D-Day. I'm glad we took the time to attend this tour!

5.00Tour was wonderful! Jon is remarkably articulate, incredibly well prepared, and very enthusiastic about his subject matter! The tour was refreshing and highly educational! The sights he took us to were presented logically and helped us comprehend what was happening as the complex invasion of Normandy was unfolding. We have recommended him to close friends and colleagues who may be able to attend one of his tours during the nexty few weeks.
Fantastic/Complete D-Day Experience

5.00What a day! Jon met us at the train and gave us a wonderful gift of his knowledge and hospitality. Very, very knowledgeable and thorough. As an American who wanted the D-Day experience, Jon completed that bucket list. He provided comfortable transportation and amenities. His choice for a lunch spot was wonderful. At the historic sites, he gave a wonderful presentation including important details and provided ample time to explore on your own. Every minute was educational-from the time of pickup to discharge. I highly recommend Jon to give you the complete D-Day experience. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. You won’t regret it. Thanks again, Jon!
Fabulous tour.

5.00We spent the day with Jon on the American Sector DDay tour. His knowledge of the invasion, including the history going back to WWI, was like an encyclopedia. As visual aids, he brought large pictures of maps, old photos of the sites at that time and pictures of some of the men involved. It truly brought the sites to life. My husband and I learned so much and enjoyed our day spent with Jon. Thank you, Jon. Great job’
Don't miss this tour!

5.00We had a fantastic tour with Jon. He was extremely knowledgeable and the level of detail he provided was amazing. He picked us up promptly at 8:30am and dropped us off at 6pm. The tour began at Sainte-Mère-Église, moved to Utah Beach and then to Pointe Du Hoc. We then visited the American Cemetery with plenty of time to walk around and still attend the flag-lowering ceremony, which was quite moving. Our final stop was at Omaha Beach. There is so much to see and so much history in Normandy that a private tour is well worth it. I would highly recommend this tour with Jon.
