A terrific day!

A Normandy visit has been on my bucket list for years. Doru, our guide (hope I correctly spelled your name, Doru!) was great- easy to talk to, INCREDIBLY knowledgeable not only about D-Day but European history, economics, culture, politics... his passion for the topics was palpable. Our tour just so happened to also be my birthday, and Doru insisted on buying me a birthday beer at lunch. :) Doru's photographer Stella also happened to join us this particular day, and was wonderful. We saw Utah beach+ museum, Point du Hoc + museum, Omaha beach, and Cemetery plus cemetery museum. At the day's very end, at the cemetery, my family was ready to depart for the drive back to Paris, but both Doru and Stella suggested we hang on 10 more minutes for the daily 5pm flag lowering ceremony. It was very powerful and highly worth it. The day was long with so many things to see plus the drive to/from Paris, but it met every expectation. Even my wife, who is not one to embrace this much driving on a vacation day, and who is not a history buff like me, said Normandy was a highlight of her week in France. Thank you very much, Doru and Stella!

Hi Chris, thank you very much for everything you shared here, we are very happy to be with you all in that day, it was really a pleasure and you all are such great people. I enjoyed talking to you about history and everything and I hope one day we'll meet again to share a beer together :) Doru
Perfect Normandy Tour (even the kids will like it)

Going to Normandy was on my husband's bucket list and we could not have picked a better tour or guide. Doru was extremely knowledgeable and just great to chat with, which comes in handy on the long drive out and back from Paris. We were lucky enough to have just the 4 of our family on the tour, so Doru was able to adjust time and agenda based on our interests and needs. Each site was very moving in its own way. Our 13 year old daughter and our 11 year old son were with us. Our son enjoyed it so much he asked to write the review for Doru's tour. Here are his words:.."The day I had at Normandy was the best day of my life. Doru was helpful and took me on adventures that were amazing! He showed me the grave of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and the time capsule (at the American Cemetery). Normandy is my favorite place on the face of the earth!"

Thank you very much for these words and please send my best to him, tell him that it was a pleasure to chat with him. I am impressed, you were amazing. See you next time. Doru
Amazing experience of a life time.

Normally I don’t do reviews, but this is review worthy. The tour was outstanding. Doru is not only friendly but knowledgeable and super patient. He made the experience 1k times better!

Thank you Juan, it was a pleasure to have you on the tour. See you next time in France :)
Guide and tour were exceptional!

Our guide picked us up early at our hotel and drove us and 2 others to see the beaches of Normandy. He stopped a couple of times along the way for restroom breaks and refreshments. We also stopped in the town where Joan of Arc was killed. There is a beautiful old church and quaint town to see as well. A great bonus! Our guide was very helpful filling in the facts about the different beaches and the cemetery at Omaha and Utah beach. Our trip back to Paris was comfortable. I would highly recommend this guide and tour to anyone wanting to see these sites.
