The entire day was incredible. Joe was wonderful. His extensive knowledge of history was such an added pleasure. If you only have a day for Normandy and the WWII sites this is definitely the way to go.

We spent a great day in Normandy seeing the DDay beaches, American cemetery and museum. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and tried to recreate the experience of that day. Would highly recommend Jozef!
