“Noway” was outstanding and very enthusiastic. He was prepared and knowledgeable with many great stories that made the entire experience very personal. Excellent storyteller.
Noe was an exceptional guide. He was very enthusiastic about the subject matter and wholeheartedly conveyed that excitement in his presentation.
Thank you for joining the tour and for your lovely review.
Or guide Raphaëlle was informative and interesting. She listened to comments questions about family experiences during WWII and answered questions that we had. There was a variety of areas to discover and many new facts to uncover.
Thank you for your warm feedback — it’s great to know the tour was such a success for you.
This was the highlight of my family's 10-day trip to Paris. We traveled to Bayeaux and wanted a half-day tour of the D-Day beaches, etc. We had seven people and a dog. This tour was led by Raphael (a wonderful woman), who has to be the best tour guide in Normandy. She picked us up from the hotel right on time, and we saw three sites, including the American Cemetery. There is no way anyone visiting the cemetery could know the things we learned without a guide. The whole thing was moving. Raphael was accommodating since my wife and I are older and could not keep up with the rest of the younger family members. Her knowledge was exceptional and she was very kind to all of us, and even went beyond the time frame of the tour. If you want a great D-Day tour, ask for Raphael.
We really appreciate your feedback and are so pleased you had a memorable experience.
Our tour guide Noé was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He gave us a great overview about the history leading up to the battle. For people looking for an English speaking guide, he mastered English very well. Totally recommend the tour and the tour guide.
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re glad we could make your experience special.
Great experience , superb jeep, explanations and exceptional visits , experience the landings through the small door of great history
