Our family thoroughly enjoyed our day in Normandy with Mike. His friendly disposition and knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject matter made the tour very memorable (even for those in the family who were not history buffs). We requested a tour focused on Canadian troops but if we ever get back to Normandy (and I hope we do!) we wouldn’t hesitate to take another tour with Mike to learn more about the rest of the allied troops and D-Day.
