We visited as a school group

We visited as a school group and had a guided tour by Oliver. He was masterful in walking us through the museum and teaching our group about WWII. If you can, get a guided tour by Oliver – he made the museum the best it could be.

We highly recommend - Legacy Roads

Alexandra was awesome. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She shared insights and stories we had not heard before. We highly recommend booking a tour of Caen with Legacy-Roads Guided Tours

Booked a full day tour of Normandy - Cemetery - St Mere

Booked a full day tour of Normandy – Cemetery – St Mere. Oliver our tour guide was excellent. He was informative, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. As an avid reader of WW2 military history I cannot imagine trying to navigate the Normandy area without going on a tour. I am sure all of the tour guides are great, however, Oliver was outstanding – highly recommend. The format of the tour was well planned – Cemetery and landings, lunch at a nice local bistro, then further sites. Oliver was able to identify through just reading books. The Caen Memorial Museum was very good as well.

It was a trip far more than expected

It was a trip far more than expected. A good chance to gaze upon the bravery of American soldiers on D-Day on those particular historic spots. I was super lucky to travel by myself along with the tour guide Mario and our driver Alain. Mario is a super enthusiastic guide prepared detailed history facts about the landing day, and always ready to any possible questions – also a patient teacher to a non-French-speaking tourist like me. Driver Alain, humorous as well, guaranteed a smooth landing along the shore for the whole day, and was willing to slow down at any interesting spot. As I mentioned, this guided tour is especially suitable for those traveling without cars or who want to witness most of the prestigious spots in a single day. It provides the best initial impression to those looking for WW2 history in Normandy.

It was a very special day - Legacy Roads

Oliver did a outstanding job. An unplanned incident where a little girl ran up to us in the middle of the beach, asked if I was a veteran and presented me with a veterans medal, left all of us in tears. Later, Oliver asked if I could be part of the Taps lowering of the flag, the request was granted on this Memorial Day. It was a very special day for this US Army veteran. I’m glad I followed my American Legion Commander’s advice and wore my Legion hat. The beach and cemetery tour was sobering, reflective and meaningful. Thank you.

wonderful D-Day tour - Legacy Roads

I had a wonderful D-Day tour with Andrea and Allan. They were friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and accommodating. Great full day tour of all the main D-Day sites. And the Memorial the next day was really good as well.
