Louis our guide with Overlord Tours lead an excellent tour today. We visited the British and Canadian beaches and saw all major sites around Juno, Gold and Sword beaches. He was very knowledgeable —— Excellent presentation, answered questions and provided a lot of time to interact with other tour members. Very small group so a LOT of personal attention. Highly recommend this tour. We had done the Omaha Utah beach tour the day before with the same company and again had excellent tour. A plus
Thank you but wrong company. Will let Louis know ;)
Norman was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Enthusiastic, funny, always smiling with great knowledge. Probably the best tour we have ever done.
Thank you so much, that very humbling coming from you. Norman from Noresta.
Absolutely Professional company and service from start to finish. Sebastian our driver was excellent. We were prompt on timings but never rushed to explore a site. The transport van was clean and the service was great. Our guide Oliver was very knowledgeable and personable. He was very respectful to the memories of these sites. You are in great hands with this crew!
We would like to thank you for this very nice review and we are glad you enjoyed this Tour with Sébastien and Olivier. Thanks so much, Noresta Team.
We had a great time with Norman. He was very friendly, socialable, and regarding history he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Also, the car was a smooth ride. Thanks, Normaj.
Thanks you for this kind review, we're hoping seeing you around again. Norman.
The tour of this sector was really helpful to me in understanding the different terrain faced by allied forces across the beaches. Marilyn shared her extensive knowledge of the area and the D-day landings and Leonie was a wonderful driver. The at times torrential rain gave an inkling to what this experience must have been like for the soldiers on landing.
Thanks for leaving a review about the D-day tour with Marilyne. Always a pleasure. Noresta Team.
Our driver Patrick was extremely polite, kind, helpful and good driving Absolutely recommended!!!
Grazie a lei, it's always a pleasure having people from Italy. Buon viaggio e a la prossima! Noresta Team.
Today six of us went on an amazing tour to Normandy. Our diver, Peter, was excellent! He was most kind and very considerate. He even brought water bottles in a cooler for us. When one of our group needed a charger for her cell phone, Peter even helped out with that! Most importantly, we all felt very safe with his driving. The day before we had had a very bad experience with a terrible driver that was even texting while driving. It was a hair raising experience! What a huge difference Peter made for us today!! Our group is most appreciative! We definitely recommend him without reservation.
Thanks Valerie for your review about Peter. We are happy your group liked the tour. Hopping seeing again around, Noresta Team.
Wonderful informative tour, Norman was very knowledgeable, we saw and learnt so much. Brilliant day. The whole family enjoyed learning everything about D day and all the history surrounding it.
Thanks Jane for the photos, I'm happy you liked the tour and my explanations, you'll need to come back soon!
A Rainy day to do the British and Canadian beaches tour in Normandy. Norman was a great guide, kept things interesting and a wealth of knowledge. With the rain he was able to get us tickets to the Canadian museum to make up for the bad weather. A great tour leaving much wiser to the events of June 6, 1944! :)
Peter, thank you for leaving a very nice review on a Juno tour. We're happy you and the rest of the group enjoyed the day. Norman.
Excellent guide for the tour, even though it rained the entire day we had an amazing tour. Norman is very knowledgeable about the whole area.
Thanks Rory. I'm happy you enjoyed the day even though it rained cats and dogs of Normandy ;) Norman.
