Extremely knowledgeable and professional experience. Igor was a consummate host (perfect fluency both with English and with the subject matter) who operated with high level of courtesy and was very personable. He shared his encyclopedic knowledge freely and without pretension. Clean, spacious, and well maintained vehicle; Igor also found ingenious, interactive ways to use our two-hour journeys to and from Rouen—plus he had seamless microphone for enhancing sound. An excellent and generous way to spend our day. We almost feel as if we were undercharged!
Hello Genevieve, It was a real pleasure to be your guide on that day from Rouen. I wish you a wonderful winter and Christmas time. Best regards.
We had a fantastic tour of D-Day beaches. Igor, the tour operator picked us up and returned us to our hotel in Rouen. We had excellent communication with the tour operator both prior to and during tour which was so helpful. He spoke very good English! Igor was very knowledgeable of the D-Day invasion, the beaches, and the countryside. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for this very kind review. I wish a wonderful end of the summer ;o)
Igor Rosen was an excellent tour guide, informative, engaging, pleasant to be with and full of interesting information. We would highly recommend him!
Thank you very much for this very kind review. Take care and maybe see you soon again in Normandy.
We did not have the tour of the beaches and battlefields as we wanted to see other parts of Normandy. Igor for the two days structured a tour to our interests, adjusting it along the way as we provide feedback. I would certainly have him again.
We booked this tour and were picked up from our Viking ship by a driver in a small Mercedes C class sedan. We were 4 adults and the sedan only had 4 seats including the driver's. I immediately protested but was told by the driver that Mr. Rosen had booked him to pick us up in a sedan. He proceeded to drive us to Normandy and we saw the sights as outlined, but he was a chauffeur, not a tour guide (by his own admission and business card) so we had no information given about the sights. We were so cramped in the car that we could not take pictures or see much of the countryside. We tried to speak with Mr. Rosen, the owner, directly, but he hung up on me. Fortunately, we had pictures and proof of what we received versus what we had been promised and Viator gave us a refund. I cannot stress enough that Igor Rosen is not a man to be trusted. You will see from my many previous trip advisor reviews that I do not routinely complain but I felt that we had been totally "taken" by this man.
Hello Ms Reynolds, I am really sorry about your experience with that tour. I tried to explain you that the car used by Nicolas D. for this tour was equivalent to the one I usually used. I could not do myself this tour as I had another booking that day. I did hung up after you started insults on me . I was trying to explain you that the tour you had was as shown in the tour description, and that you had even spent more time on the sights as scheduled, but you did not leave me end. I am really sorry about the fact that your experience did not go as expected. Best regards.
Our Guide was terrific and made us very comfortable spending the time at the beach. He was extremely knowledgeable and felt like we had known him forever. Good driver, nice van --had water for us. Non smoker.
