Captivating

Shawn_S, Mar 2023

This tour was so amazing. Our guide was pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, and personable. He made the events and places come to life with his passion for storytelling of WWII.

Mike is incredible book him while you can!

John_S, Mar 2023

Mike was just incredible. The immense amount of knowledge he had down to the minuscule details was just astounding. You can tell he absolutely loves his work and sharing it with others. He’s way more enthusiastic than I ever would be showing people the same things every day! He’s funny, engaging, charismatic, and speaks better English than I do! The tour was absolutely worth every penny and I cannot recommend him more. Top notch experience 10 out of 5 stars. Search no more this is the tour to book. You won’t be disappointed!

Truly priceless in value and memories-made

Jamie_L, Oct 2022

Our group of 6 included my two boys (ages 8 and 11) and in laws; my father in-law is a Vietnam veteran and his father was a WWII veteran. We thoroughly enjoyed journeying with and learning from Mike - who possesses both a skill for engaging a wide age-range and an encyclopedic knowledge base. He was incredibly fruitful and responsive to our questions along the way. His passion for sharing this epochal day is abundantly clear. We visited two villages, Utah and Omaha beaches and the American Cemetery. He gave sweeping overviews alongside nuanced and detailed stories of specific soldiers. We ended the day more educated, enlightened and inspired to learn more about D Day and WWII in general. A few days later, my father in law, who has done extensive reading, bought three books and I just picked up D Day by Ambrose. The memories we will have and the value of this tour is truly priceless.

We cannot recommend this tour enough!

Jennifer_P, Sep 2022

Absolutely incredible tour. We had a family of 7, including two veterans, and the amount of knowledge Mike had was bar none. He was sincere and engaging and we all can't thank him enough for an incredible experience that will not soon be forgotten.

Outstanding Tour

Thomas_D, Jul 2022

Mike was an amazing guide! He customized our tour and the information he provided us to our interests. He is a wealth of knowledge and taught, and showed, us so much about the D-Day invasion and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed pit tour and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has interest WWII history.

Fantastic day with Mike

harvey_m, Jun 2022

All of it!! Mike modified the tour based on our interests We shared our interest in the movie Band of Brothers Encyclopedic knowledge with wonderful delivery

Great tour and guide!

Krystina_J, Nov 2021

Mike, the owner/tour operator is excellent! He is so knowledgeable about WWII and the history of the area that he really made the story of what happened at the D Day beaches come alive. If not for him we would have been staring at an empty beach! We had our three kids with us on this trip and they said it was one of the best things we did during our entire trip. We would definitely recommend this tour!

DE LUXE JOURNEY ON THE 6TH OF OCT

Olivier_B, Oct 2019

Mike was very friendly and told me a lot about history of the landing. Having known already a lot about the DD day he told me other facts, logical history tricks and scories. It is with the price... je picked me up at 8:30 close To bayeux, brought me two two extra locations. I saw many things with a lot of information : St mère Église, the story of the paratroopers on the roof, the scarces of the german bulletts, the location of the 82nd airborn division pathfinder landing... many many other treasures of history but also wondering myself trafics and critical and very tough as both cemeteries of colléville and la cambe and also french major Kieffer and Guyenne french air force tactical group mémorial. Worth the money. I advice for the gourmets of history and good tremper this trip with Mike, this tour guide, he is the boss of the Allied victory tour. Ibis budget accommodation is pretty Nice, cheap and friendly as to reserve your budget for the tour
