Amazing tour that everyone should take it. Thinking it happened just 81 years ago, it's crazy how fast history fades. Average age of soldiers in the cemetery is 23. Our tour guys Dylan is extremely knowledgeable, and our driver is very helpful. Together they made the trip extra memorable. Thank you guys!

Ana was knowledgable and also sensitive to the needs of our small group. This tour brings home the gravity of events of D-Day. Very thankful for her detailed knowledge of history!

Ana was fantastic! Small tour of 4. She let us set the pace. We got lost all the time and she found us. The historical part of the tour is what you expect. The broader French was Interesting for an American.

Our guide Melanie was superb. Very well educated on the history of the area, the d-day invasion, and a pleasure chat with. The tour itself is exactly as advertised. Don’t skim or speed read the details of the tour, read it. I found it to be a great way to see point-du-hoc, Omaha beach, and the American cemetery, in a short amount on time. if you only have a few hours, this is a great option. If you want to linger all day, and don’t like being on a tight schedule, this isn’t for you.

I highly recommend the full day tour of the beaches and American Cemetery. Our guide Dylan was knowledgeable and passionate about the history. Our driver Norman was very accommodating with the people on our trip. Lunch was fantastic.

Outstanding service from end to end. The staff at the museum were very friendly and helpful. I also took the full day tour of beaches and cemeteries with Oliver as a guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable, very respectful to the fallen and their stories. Sebastian was our driver and he did a fantastic job as well.
