A Must Do! - Originally set this up as a small group tour and as the scheduled day approached we were notified that my wife and I were the only ones signed up. They gave us an option to cancel or change to a private tour. We chose the private tour, then David our guide and Roman, our driver were assigned. Pick up was promptly at 730am as promised, we headed out in a Mercedes wagon. The drive was about 2.5 hrs to Normandy (bathroom break scheduled 1/2 way) and we made small talk until about an hour out when David began his history lesson. He was well versed and kept our interest all day. We toured museums, watched videos, read journals, discussed artillery, uniforms, equipment, photo exhibits, toured bunkers, monuments, beaches and the second largest military cemetary all while reflecting on the magnitude of this event in history. Worked in a nice lunch in a small town. David and Roman's impeccable timing allowed us to basically walk into a museum and enter a show moments later. We were also able to catch the lowering of the dual flags ceremony in the evening at Omaha cememtary. The day was well planned, informative and though long, was not overwhelming.
Each stop allowed us to visualize all of the important pieces that put the D day campaign together. The ride back was about 3 hours and also included a break 1/2 way through. Very memorable
Enjoy!

D-day. Normandy in a day! - Mykita was a wonderful guide to the D-day sites in Normandy. He had stories to tell and was a great host. And, Aslan was a safe and thoughtful driver. Request them both if you get the chance. Merci!

D-day for small group of US and Australian clients - The guide and driver were excellent. The guide was well-informed about the history. SHe(Helen) was a great leader and her planning on behalf of the group of clients was great.
