Fantastic tours! Informative and entertaining!

5.00Yannick is a superb storyteller! He was recommended to us quite enthusiastically from a client, and we booked him to do full day tours of the Normandy D-Day landings, and of Mont St Michelle. He is an expert on the history of the area, and his passion and enthusiasm are evident in all of the details that he brought to life through his storytelling. Practically speaking, we had a group of 18 people to manage and he assisted us with every detail, from restaurant reservations for our lunch during the tour, to helping manage the flow of the group in crowded areas. He even arranged a special walk through the bay of Mont St Michelle with a park ranger- quite a highlight. Best of all, Yannick was so warm, engaging and entertaining that the long bus rides flew by. When we bring our next group to this area, we’ll definitely do more with Yannick and HQ Tours
Excellent tour guide, highly recommend

5.00Outstanding tour with Paul. He provided very knowledgeable information with interesting tidbits. He had wonderful maps and pictures of various sites and people that enhanced the experience. It was an all day experience that was enlightening despite the emotional and very sad details of what took place. He provided amble time to have lunch and to tour the museum. We started in Omaha beach and ended in Utah beach with a secret destination that was very moving. Paul was very passionate about the area which enhanced our experience. Would highly recommend.

5.00Fantastic day! We booked the private full day British sector tour for our Dad’s 60th birthday. The aim was to follow in the footsteps of his Dad, who landed on Sword Beach. HQ massively surpassed our expectations. Mickael went above and beyond, doing loads of research into our granddad in advance so he could personalise the day. His expertise was seriously impressive, and on top of that, he’s great company to spend the day with. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
Fantastic Omaha Beach tour with Mickael —expert history, warm hospitality, and thoughtful extras. Exceeded expectations!

5.00I highly recommend HQ Company Tours. They made the entire process easy, were professional, courteous, and had excellent communication skills. Our guide Yannick delivered an incredible experience and made our visit to Normandy extra special. The knowledge and passion he posses are contagious and he was such a joy to be around. We learned so much from him and appreciated his willingness to answer questions and customize our experience. We booked a two day tour (D-Day Normandy Beaches and Mont Saint Michel) and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a must do if you want to visit Normandy. 10/10 recommend.
The BEST tour ever - Gwen’s stories made the D-day exploration come alive.

5.00A private best of D-day tour for seven. From the moment Gwen picked us up to the time he dropped us off, he shared a wealth of knowledge about WWII, the allies, the Germans, the battles and the people. Made it come alive for all of us. One of the best tours any of us have ever taken. Highly recommend if you want to learn about the events. Gwen also steered us to good restaurants and places to visit for the rest of our stay in Normandy.
Wow! What an informative and interesting day with Gwen on the best of D-Day tour.

5.00From the moment Gwen picked us up, he shared interesting stories about the region and the different locations we visited. He connected the dots, answered all of our questions, helped really get a feel for WWII, d-day and beyond. Even after 8 hours, we were still intently listening to his stories. SO knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for more. Gwen also provided us with great recommendations for other Normandy areas to visit and restaurants to try out.
An experience I cannot describe in words

5.00Yannick was an amazing guide for our private tour. He was knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating the entire time we were with him. I cannot describe in words how amazing this tour was. Day one was Monet and day two was the Normandy beach tour. I highly recommend the private tour with Yannick. He even made the tour desirable for our 7 year old daughter. You have to book with him if you want the complete experience.
Great day in Normandy

5.00Sophie was an excellent tour guide. She promptly picked us up in a beautiful, comfortable van, and spent a full day with great information, details and a booklet to share pictures and maps. She made the day very fun and memorable!
