Traveler Reviews
This was an unforgettable tour with my dad and my daughter - three generations - which Mike our guide pitched brilliantly to all of us. We learned so much from his expert knowledge, and the passion with which he told the story of each part of the tour really added to the experience. Our tour included Pegasus bridge, Sword and Gold Beach, mulberry harbour and the British cemetery as well as following in the footsteps of a soldier who wa awarded the VC. I would highly recommend Mike who has given us memories to cherish and an experience my dad, who wanted to see where his father served, will never forget. Thank you.
