We spent 4 hours traveling through the countryside on paths and small roads, where our young, passionate guide narrated to us, with supporting documents, the history of the first days of the landing, sprinkled with anecdotes. We felt as if we were there. We experienced an exceptional moment. It is an experience to be had. Françoise and Jean-Marc
Excellent the tour, they tell all the details of the story with photo , stories and tours
Fun and different adventure. Guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Would highly recommend for those looking for a different experience. Remember to dress warmly.
4hr jeep tour amazing from start to finish Thomas's info and stories about what happened around the area was brilliant and my 14yr old daughter really enjoyed it I was really happy to finally stand on the sites of the 101st airborne easy company that I've read about and seen on the series the jeep itself was great zipping around the roads and lanes of ste mere eglise and utah areas if your thinking about it book you will 100% enjoy.... Many thanks Thomas
I wanted to thank Thomas warmly for visiting the landing beaches. Thanks to your passion, your knowledge and all the anecdotes you shared, this day was simply unforgettable. The way you tell the story really brought the place to life, and I leave with a much better understanding and a lot of emotion. Thank you again for this unique moment!
A superb morning in real Jeep Willys 1943 with the good humor of Flavie who made us discover some unknown aspects of the D-Day and feasted on his little anecdotes while leading us by the paths of Holy Mother Church in Utah Beach. A treat that we enthusiastically recommend.
So much more than we expected. Engaging and very knowledgeable guide. Learned a lot we didn’t know. Best part of our trip to France.
We went on this tour yesterday with our daughter (22 years old). We absolutely loved it! Our tour group was Jean Baptiste “JB” and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. This tour was on my husband’s “bucket list” and we are so glad that we chose this particular tour. The jeep is able to go on paths that the tour buses are not and JB showed us this was great. The 4 hours flew by. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Raphaelle and Flavie were excellent. They managed to keep grandparents engrossed in WW2 as well as capturing our grandsons interest. They gave us 1 hour of the tour in a Jeep Willy which was entertaining and gave a feel of the terrain. Really perfect 4 hours!
This is the tour to take!!! Honestly, what better way to experience the events of June 1944 than in a restored Army Jeep? Our guide, Thomas, is a gifted historian & opened our eyes to the incredible historical events happening between hedgerows, on quiet corners & within sacred spaces. The absolute highlight of our journey!
