This is a wonderful tour. My wife and I took the 2-day tour that included not only the beaches and…read morecemetery, but other sites where the 80th and 101st Airborne landed, small towns including a visit with a Frenchman who lived through D-day as a 10-year-old boy. Stayed at the Trumble chateau 3 nights with great food. Ben Trumble is a real student of D-day and WWII. We visited sites where he showed us pictures of GIs taken there on D-day. You can see the corresponding landmarks today and truly stand in the footsteps of heroes. Finally a visit to the cemetery where we saw the graves of several of the soldiers whose exploits we had been following. I can not imagine a better tour with anyone more knowledgable than Ben. Staying in the restored chateau with great modern accommodations and food just topped it off. 2014 will be the 70th anniversary of D-day and the last time any of the veterans will still be around for a 10-year anniversary. It should be a wonderful and solemn experience. You might actually meet a D-day vet. Ken Marsh

While my knowledge of the D-Day Landings is quite limited, my husband is just the opposite and has studied this history extensively. Yet, both of us were highly impressed with Francois, answering our questions easily and providing insights and an understanding not only of the invasion, but of the local life and people who lived through it all. He is incredibly engaging, and we loved hearing how his family fared while half of their home was taken over by German soldiers. Spending the day in Normandy is an emotional and moving experience, enhanced greatly by Francois and his deep knowledge of history.

He interviews the remaining people that were alive at the time and is able to interject their experiences with his dialogue of the beaches, bunkers and cemeteries. We were constantly in awe of his expertise and ability to roll with the changes that occured unexpectedly with our time frame. When a train strike interfered with our ability to get to Mont St Michel he generously offered to drive us there and change our itinerary in order to see Mont St Michel on the second afternoon which was planned otherwise. The trip would have not been complete if not for his empathy and extra effort. His knowledge added to everything we saw and did and the price was surprisingly affordable and certainly well worth it! I am not a tour person but I cannot emphasize enough how much of a difference it made to our visit to have this man on our side.

Our day with Bertrand was indeed memorable - we recommend him to others seeking a similar experience. Thank you Bertrand!!!

We booked at the last minute and lucked out that she was available AND willing to step out just for the four of us. She not only gave amazingly detailed information, she also was so warm and friendly that we felt like we'd found our long lost French cousin. Her knowledge base was vast and personalized to whatever we wanted to know. She suggested photo ops and even took the photos for us. She timed the cemetery visit for the playing of Taps. It was very emotional to start with and then, almost on cue, a French fighter plane flew over and tipped a wing. Sabrina laughingly said she arranged that just for us. But then explained whenever they are near, they tip their wing in thanks. Not a dry eye was found. This kind lady even sent an email with some of her prop photos and links to movies we had discussed. Please, if you chose any tour, try my long lost cousin Sabrina! You won't regret it!

He knows the area, is well versed in the background information that accompanies many of the stories, and his disposition (and English) are excellent. Like many people, I've read extensively about WW2, and am versed in the related pop culture.. Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, The Longest Day, etc. So is Pierre. He's on the money with all his facts, understanding of key landmarks, and even the factual events that made their way into various movies as anecdotes or scenes. I'd do a tour with Pierre at HQ Company Tours again in a heartbeat. And if you're wondering if it's worth it, DO THE TOUR. You can read all the books in the world, but you'll never really get it until you see the bunkers, and the 88 mm guns that raked the entire beach. The cemetery is a must for every American to see. There's no better reminder about why we enjoy freedom, than to see the thousands of white crosses and Stars of David. Hallowed ground. Take the tour, use Pierre at HQ Company Tour. You'll be glad you did. PS: He makes great restaurant recommendations too!

The company set us up with tickets to get from Paris to Bayeux and from there saw Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Sainte-Mère-Église and Pointe Du Hoc.

I would recommend the tour and Chloe to anyone looking for a Normandy Tour.
