Nicola served as our guide on a two-day tour through the Somme region battlefields and Ypres on September 10-11, 2018. My sister and I were the only people on her tour, making it even more personal. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. Nicola seemed to know everything about World War I and at the battlefields and cemeteries we were visiting. When she didn’t know something such as the relationship between hectares and acres, she acknowledged that she didn’t know the answer and them promptly looked up the information. Although we were on a World War I tour of Western Front areas, Nicola didn’t seem to mind as we asked her questions about her experience living as a Brit in France, Napoleon, the Eastern Front of World War I, Brexit, etc. She was charming, but didn’t ask as if she were trying to earn a bigger tip or receive a positive review. I can’t say enough good things about Nicola and our tour. Speaking of the tour, I should mention that we loved the selection of sites to visit. We knew about the Menin Gate before we went on the tour, but we didn’t really have an appreciation for other places that we visited before going on the tour. Nicola had a good sense of how long to stay at each site. We never felt hurried, but were rewarded for spending time trying to understand the magnitude of the losses and the depth of emotional responses from the countries that were honoring their dead. This is a review by my sister, with whom I traveled.

Great tour.... Picked us seamlessly at our hotel, grabbed people from one other hotel and headed out. Once there, we were handed off to our guide nice lady whom passed headphones and transponders so we could hear her tour without having to be right next to her. Great idea!!! Since the palace can get packed and noisy. Very informative tour. Tour ended and you were allowed about 90min free time to do whatever before van came back. We used the time to have lunch/breakfast at crepe place very close and very good. Got dropped off at home around 3:30pm.

My stepmom found Matthew after searching through multiple Normandy private tours. Thank goodness, it was fantastic! We basically had him as our private guide for 9-hours, taking us to Saint Mare Eglise, Utah Beach, Point Du Hoc, Omaha Beach, Normandy American Cemetery and several others. Matthew picked us up at our hotel front door in Caen and he was extremely flexible and adjusted to what we wanted to see or eat. At the end of the day, he went out of the way to show us Willian the Conqueror’s castle in Caen. Overall, a fantastic tour at a great bargain (~$100/person). We highly recommend you try this tour when you come to Normandy. We took Matthew’s business card and will absolutely hire him again.

Six of us were on a cruise that stopped at Le Havre. Two of us had been to Normandy three times previously and four had not visited the area . We had reached out to another tour company, but it could not accommodate us and recommended Lena. It was very fortuitous for us!! After our initial plan proved to be too ambitious, Lena worked with us to select the places our group particularly wanted to visit in the Utah and Omaha beach areas. She picked us up in Le Havre from our cruise ship (her car is quite comfortable for 6 adults). While heading towards Utah Beach, she provided a thorough overview of the German preparations and the Allies' intentions. Our first stop was Ste. Mere Eglise and we worked eastward, stopping at Pointe du Hoc, WN62/1st Infantry Division Monument, the American Cemetery, and for lunch. She provided an operational understanding of events as they unfolded, but also the individual human stories related to these events. She was able to answer all of our questions. All of us learned a great deal. Lena was most informative, an expert on D-Day history, and an excellent story teller, She had illustrative photos and charts that greatly added to our understanding of the events. We hope someday to return to Normandy and complete the British and Canadian sectors. If we do return, we will take another tour with Lena! She returned us to the ship with ample time remaining. We are very glad she could be our guide for the day. It was a memorable and moving day for us all.

Our family of 6 had a terrific time visiting Mont St Michel and the DDay sites. Iain customized an itinerary that worked perfectly for us. He was a pleasure to work with as we planned our visit. We started with an early morning pickup at CDG and an interesting drive along the cheese route to Mont Saint Michel. After seeing the incredible sunrise over the MSM Abbey, we continued onto Bayeux and this was where Iain shined. His knowledge of the DDay sites and WWII history was incredible and he kept everyone's interest, which is notable as we ranged in age from adult, to college students, to an 11 year old. Unfortunately, we were forced to change our plans for our last day in Normandy due to illness and Iain was very flexible and supportive. He drove us back into Paris that evening. I would highly recommend NormandyONtour.
