The trip was fantastic and would highly recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided great details throughout the entire trip that brought 1940s Normandy to life. The sites were very accessible and gave lots of time to explore the areas we stopped at. This is a great trip for both people who have a lot of knowledge of World War II and people who do not.
