Customer Reviews
The tour was good, lunch was surprisingly good. Everyone happy with different selections. We stopped at more locations than we anticipated which was great. Maja was knowledgeable but occasionally difficult to understand but not bad. Her ire at late passengers was understandable but we shouldn’t have seen that or heard about it! Overall nice experience.
Maja made the tour enjoyable and informative. Enjoyed seeing Pointe du Hock and hearing about Lt. Rudder, who later was the President of Texas A&M when I enrolled there.
I’m sure every guide is as good as the next, but we had an amazing trip with Lawrence! His passion not only for France, D-day and all of history was matched only by his passion to make sure each and every one of us had the best experience possible. The day was absolutely beautiful and while so much of it was very somber it still was a wonderful day. The bus is very comfortable and Nadia, our driver, was very safe! I couldn’t recommend this more! Go!
