What a great tour with...
What a great tour with Colin! Our group was ages 10-80 and he was able to keep all of us engaged and interested. Even those that had been there twice learned something this third time around. The trip is about 3 hours one way from Paris (which we knew) but it went by quickly and was the perfect time to rest before a full day. We visited Omaha, Pointe du Hoc, and the American Cemetery and museum as well as a 4th generation calvados maker and lunch. It was a long day, but worth it on every level...read more

Great private tour!!
We had the best day! We had a family of 5 adults on the tour - my dad is a huge WW2 buff - the rest of us were just along for the ride, but we all had the best day. We learned a ton, and it was overall very enjoyable. Our tour guide Colin was AWESOME- very accommodating and informative. My dad was so happy with the day - and myself and the rest of the family really loved the tour and found it very informative. We also really wanted to get seafood at a local place and Colin took us to the be...read more

Thank you for this lovely review.
We are so glad the whole family had such a great day, and that your dad in particular got the WWII experience he was hoping for.
If you ever come back to France, we would love to show you another region and take you behind the scenes to meet some of our artisans and craftspeople.
Thank you for traveling with us.
Kind regards,

Excellent experience
Although pricey, we felt this tour was well worth it. My husband was a World War II buff and this trip was on our bucket list. Our guide, Colin de Rivas, was excellent. He had gone out of his way to research old pictures of the bunkers and D Day beaches to show us what it looked like back in 1944. The American Cemetery was especially moving because it was so huge. Colin made sure we enjoyed ourselves on the tour and was very kind in that he did not rush us through any experience.

Colin was thoughtful attentive and resourceful
Colin was an attentive and thoughtful guide. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the journey. Most importantly, he was quite knowledgeable of the Normandy invasion and went the extra distance to explain with the use of photos he stored in his iPad, the invasion. What was remarkable, was his effort at trying to show exactly what point or place was the actual photo taken during the invasion. We managed to climb into the bunkers before the crowds converged and he showed me several bunkers tha...read more

The whole experience is...
The whole experience is informative and humbling. The cemetery and the movie they play will bring tears to your eyes bringing home the sacrifices these, and all our soldiers make for our freedom. Our guide Colin was amazing. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer and he was patient while we took photographs. This trip was on my husband’s bucket list but I wasn’t sure I wanted to go but I’m very glad I did. I learned so much, saw such beauty and sadness at the same time in the cemetery. We a...read more
