This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Our guide, Matthieu, was totally attentive and knowledgeable. He even paid attention when I got a coughing fit and brought me back to the van to give me water. The tour was a great length for our schedule, but still allowed us enough time so see each location after the introduction. We enjoyed being able to walk around on our own. I would recommend for anyone looking for a shorter tour.

Charles was a fantastic story teller that brought it to life. We went on June 5th which had the bonus of extra details but some areas become closed and more traffic.... I think the positives (flags, plane fly overs, and military attendance) make it still a good day to go. Vehicle was clean and a perfect moderate sized group with 16.

An excellent trip. Our guide Magali was fantastic. She had information not only on the sites we visited but had a wealth of knowledge on WWII. Highly recommend this tour.
