If you don’t do a private tour with Overlord Tours’ Remy, you’re making a mistake. I’ve been an avid reader and movie buff about all things WWII-related since I was in grade school so it says a lot when I say our tour guide, Remy, told me stories and facts about the Normandy invasion I was unaware of. I especially liked that at specific locations we visited he had a portfolio of maps and photos from the invasion that we could compare to today. When we asked to see the locks that were used by the Nazis to flood the fields to prevent easy access from the beach, we were surprised at how many stories he could tell us about battles related to that since it was not a scheduled part of our tour - that guy can really improvise on the fly! It’s not only his knowledge of the history of the invasion, but also his knowledge of when things will be busy and when you should visit them to avoid crowds. He mixes his stories between touching, humorous, and dramatic masterfully!
