Moving and thorough. - Mathieu was an amazing guide/host…highly knowledgeable, approachable and thoughtful. My wife and I were fortunate to be booked alone with Mathieu for a full day Juno Beach experience…it was an amazing and moving day for a couple of knowledge-thirsty Canadians. Mathieu started with a high-level explanation of the D-Day operation and then drilled-down to the Canadian activities at Juno Beach and beyond. Mathieu will anticipate and then fully answer your questions. I cannot imagine there being a better guide to gain a full understanding of the importance of the Canadian contribution and the price paid for that success.

Correct Start Time of Tour - Hi Phillipe D: I have a question I hope you can answer. I want to book a one day Canadian tour to Normandy. I want to take a train from Paris to Bayeau for the tour. What time does the tour start? one piece of information states the tour starts at 8:30 am, which the train would NOT get me there on time. The next information states the tour starts at 9:30am. Which is correct? Please reply. Teresa Webster

Only one issue….the tour ended! - I cannot overrate the tour that we had of the Canadian D Day Experience. We had 8 people on the tour, and one excellent guide, Matt. The passion he displayed for the topic, the interest he took to understand our own personal experiences, and his wealth of knowledge made the day. There was only one issue - the tour ended! Thank you so much for a carefree, entertaining, knowledge building experience. I would highly recommend the tour!

Amazing Trip to Canadian D-Day Sites! - Our tour guide was very great and had a vast knowledge on WW2 and the events that occurred during D-Day! There were only 7 of us on the tour, all of us from Canada, which made this tour feel even more personal. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a deeper dive into D-Day.

Fantastic day with Alex - We wanted to concentrate on British and Canadian roles in D-Day and Alex gave us a tailor made day out concentrating on a few key areas whilst giving us the bigger picture. Excellent

Must attend tour for every Canadian - Highly recommend this tour, our tour guide was wonderful. It was very informative and emotional to be on that beach and visit many battle sites around d-day. My only regret is I didn't get our tour guides name but he was great.

Spectacular touring and learning about D-Day - Kate was our 2nd tour guide for D-Day experiences. She arrived promptly to pick our group up. She was professional, enthusiastic, and personable. Kate shared she was born, raised and living in the Normandy area, giving a more personal touch to her knowledge. Her driving skills were excellent. Her verbal skills were fantastic. She gave great details for the tour sites we visited and for the region. The "best" personal touch was Kate helping our friend find canned foie gras, he was mandated to bring home for friends. Our day with Kate was beyond exceptional. THANK YOU

Amazing experience with... - Amazing experience with Kate! Small group of people- one group of 4 from PEI and us from Alberta. Kate took us to key points in the Canadian involvement on Dday- informative and emotional day. Every Canadian should come here at least once.
