Excellent tour. We went on 5 Jun, so there were crowds. We still had an informative and eye-opening experience. Airborne Museum access was no waiting for us. Overall a very good day. Pascal was an excellent guide in all regards.

An amazing tour! Fred was our tour guide for the whole day and what an educated man! We learned so much about the history and events of the invasion and Fred was also very patient answering all of our questions. He pointed out various places to check out when we had some free time to wander: it was perfect because we would not have known what we were looking at if it wasn't brought to our attention.

Very nostalgic and deeply emotional experience walking in the footsteps of the Greatest Generation who bravely sacrificed their lives for freedom and to fight against fascism. Thanks so much!!!
