This is a 2 day tour

You’re really interested in the events leading up to D-Day, but also all the little side stories that made this big endevour not just a main strategy but also a soldier’s war with many personal stories of men who fought for freedom, democracy and the hope that the Nazi regime would be ended.

My 2 day tour allows you to go to the different sites without having that rushed feeling like you might have on a one-day tour when we try to see as many sites as possible ! With the 2 day tour, go at your own pace, with me as your guide, we will explore some non-visited sites by other tour companies and find out the stories behind this house, this river, this tree or this cross-road…

I will take you to eat at places where I eat when not guiding, we will enter the museums and not wait in line so we can maximise our time.
