My son (much older than a teen) and I spent the day with Mike on a private tour of Normandy in early April, 2023. We had taken the train from Paris to Bayuex the day before, saw the Tapestry, ate a great meal at a restaurant Mike recommended and stayed at the Churchill Hotel (recommended by Rick Steves and Mike). Mike picked us up at our hotel the next morning, and began our tour. Mike is the best tour guide we have ever used - he is unbelievably knowledgeable, passionate, articulate, personable and humorous. His English is excellent. My son and I are convinced "Mike knows everything". For me, the trip was mainly about visiting my uncle's grave at the American cemetery at Normandy, so I had asked Mike to leave more time for that. I was somewhat surprised when Mike announced at the start that we needed to make a short detour. But even more surpised when it turned out to be a trip to the air field that my uncle had been at in France before his death. I had only mentioned my uncle's unit two days before we left for France, and Mike took the time to research him and then add this meaningful side trip to our itinerary. There is much more than I can add in a short review - like Mike went and knocked on a door and asked for permission to walk the actual field! He then talked about going to the actual crash site, since oft times, there is a monument to the pilot/plane at those sites. But he explained that his research ahd uncovered that a quarry was now at that site. I actually think Mike was more disappointed then we about not being able to visit the crash site - I must admit that I was still in shock and awe over the trip to the airfield. Totally unexpected, totally awesome, and from what I can tell, totally in character with the way Mike does his tours. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough! As a another reviewer put it, five stars is unfaily limiting and not enough. The rest of the day was full of history and emotion, Mike's amazing talks bringing in stories of lesser know actual people at Normandy, infromation on The Longest Day, Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, NY Yankee baseball (Yogi Berra was at Normandy landings) and much more. The grave site visit at the end of the day, with Mike's assistance and that of the ABMC escort, Guillaume, had us in tears (good ones). My brother and his son had to cancel joining us on this trip to France, and now want me to keep in touch with Mike. My cousin (who is named after my uncle), also. They all want to go take a similar tour in the near future. My son and I will gladly join them. Mike is absolutely the best!

My husband, 17-year old son, and I spent the day with Mike. He is incredibly knowledgable, and he brought the day to life through his fabulous story telling. I would recommend him to anyone traveling to Normandy as he is a wonderful guide.

Mike is the go-to guide for Normandy - he's super knowledgeable and has a ton of energy to keep everyone engaged (teens included) throughout the day. We had a particular interest in Easy Company's travels and Mike pivoted on the spot to accommodate our requests. This was a dream trip. Mission accomplished!
