Traveler Reviews

Experiencing Normandy in a small group was a great opportunity to take a step back in history. Oliver was knowledgeable and eager to share his knowledge.

Our guide was amazing. Smooth trip. Lovely.tasty reasonably priced lunch. Only bad thing is no speakers in back of van and I couldn’t hear a word. Young folk grabbed the front seats of course. Loved ease of not worrying about finding trains. Van pick up and drop off same location.

Fantastic. Oliver was great. Knowledgeable & personable. Adequate time allowed for all planned sights. Must-do experience.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history. He shared stories about the men who fought in Normandy both from D-day and the years afterward. He also connected what happened in WWII to WWI events to give greater context. For my son, the history buff, this was a highlight of our trip to Europe. It was a 13 hr day with 6-7 hrs of driving to/from Normandy.

Oliver was a knowledgeable tour guide. He explained the different areas in a concise manner. The small group was perfect size. This tour is an introduction to the history of the area. The museum (Overlord) was excellent. Lunch at a small restaurant was great. Get the fish and chips with the local cider.
