Let me add to the list of glowing reviews for this tour service. At the outset, setting up the tour with Deborah was smooth and professional. All of my questions were answered promptly. The day before the tour I received a text from Jozef to confirm arrangements and to advise on Normandy weather conditions. Jozef met us at our Paris hotel at 6:30 AM. He has a comfortable van which easily held the 4 of us. As we drove to Normandy we got to know each other and Jozef began to give us background on the events surrounding D Day. We marveled at Jozef's depth and breadth of knowledge. He is a treasure trove of information, and conveyed that information with passion and respect for the subject matter. It is impossible in a short post to review the entirety of the day. Suffice to say we started with the events in the zone in which American paratroopers deployed, moved to the D Day beaches and ended at the American cemetery. A very moving day. We all agreed the the tour with Jozef was the highlight of our 18 days in France! Jozef has even provided me with a list of follow up books on the subject. Can I give 6 stars? When we return to France we will be using PT/Jozef for other tours.mwn2019

Emilie lead us on a wonderful trip to Normandy from Paris! My husband and I have been there before on our own and we wanted to show our 22 yo History Major son the WWII sights. Emilie had some out of the way sights and history to show us that we had never seen and would not be able to in a big group. Definitely important and interesting facts that we all enjoyed. Emilie turned us on to some related historical movies to watch that will enhance our understanding of the times and mood of WWII. Highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to get more in-depth understanding of the war and its sights. Emilie is a gem!!kdaniel43

Our day trip to Normandy was an experience of a lifetime! Jozef picked us up promptly at our hotel and from that point forward, he made the day a most memorable one for us. He was engaging, extremely knowledgable, very accommodating, used visual charts as well as audio clips to give us an authentic experience of how the events of the D-Day invasion occurred. Our visit to the American cemetery was a very somber and humbling experience as well. He took us to a seaside restaurant for lunch and as we traveled back to Paris, later that afternoon, he gave us so much more information about France, Paris, and other sights we may want to see on a return visit. He is certainly deserving of a 5 star rating and I would highly recommend Jozef for this and any other tour!
