Our guide, Brice, was very knowledgeable about the region and helpful in allowing us to make choices as to what we wanted to see. Additionally, he scheduled things in such a way that we arrived at good times to see things, such as the flag lowering at the American cemetery and low tide at Omaha Beach. If you have specific family you want to learn more about, forward the information ahead of time so your guide can help research and personalize the experience to you.

Our knowledgable tour guide (Ellen) was phenomenal!! She picked us up at our hotel in Caen at 9:00 a.m. and dropped us off at 6:00 p.m. Our day long extensive tour of German Cemetery, Utah Beach, Normandy American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, the church that was used as a medic facility with the unexploded shell in the ceiling, the church where Paratrooper John Steel was hanging from the church steeple, and many interesting places in between were all amazing!! We also enjoyed the best lunch at a small restaurant in the village where John Steel was hanging from the church. The cherry on top of our tour was our last stop when Ellen brought us to the top of the cliffs at Omaha Beach where we were able to climb through German trenches, underground bunkers, and underground defense ditches all built by the Germans. It's quite off the beaten path. Most people have no idea it's there. Most tourists likely never get here. Walking the path on the cliff tops and looking down on Omaha Beach was an epic experience! Ellen was incredibly informative, answered all of our questions, and showed us great photos from her notebook of the places we visited as they were during WWII. It was an incredibly moving day, one we dreamed about experiencing for a long time. We learned new aspects of the Normandy Invasion thanks to Ellen. This was a monumental check on our bucket list. We thank Ellen so very much for providing the best possible private guided Normandy experience tailored for exactly what we wanted to see. It's worth every penny to do this private tour. You won't be lost in the crowds, and you will receive personalized attention. We sailed through all the sites we wanted to visit. No waiting. Ellen was very efficient with our time and gave us as much time wherever we wanted to stay and linger. Her tour was perfection! We are honored and humbled to have this opportunity to pay our respects to all those who paid the ultimate price for freedom and to squash evil. We recommend this tour!!! Five stars!!! Brava, Ellen!!! Lauri and Mark from Ohio, USA
