Gezgin yorumları
Sarah Valentin was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. She is really passionate about the D-Day history and strategy and knew all the little details. I have mobility issues and in planning the itinerary she factored this in so that we could still maximize the sites. She also factored in the tides so that we could see Omaha Beach at low tide as well as the ceremony taking down the flag at the American cemetery at 4:00. We lucked out that we could see both. My husband is a WW2 nut and the two of them eagerly shared information. Highly recommend Sarah!
Every detail of our day was well planned and exactly what we wanted. Sarah customized our day by the tides to maximize what we could see at the beaches and was flexible with our stops based on what we were interested in. Our 21 year old daughter really enjoyed Sarah’s detailed historical knowledge, as did we. We are honored to spend our day seeing these important sites of world history.
Seeing everything that we had read so much about was wonderful. Our guide Sarah was incredible! Her knowledge,explanations and all the visuals she provided were exceptional. We highly recommend this tour.
My husband had read a lot about DDay before we came. But seeing the beaches and landmarks is sobering. Plus Sara was a terrific guide as she knows the area and the history so well. Very knowledgeable. Don't skip it. We did full day tours and learned much.
Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. Our party of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) were able to see the American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and Utah Brach, with a fantastic lunch thrown in. We never would have made it to all those sights on our own. Our whole party learned so much. And enjoyed getting to know Sarah's personal connection to French History. Highly Recommend!
Sarah was every history lover's dream! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Her thorough and detailed knowledge of both the D-Day Landings and the events of WWII as a whole are beyond compare. She went out of her way to fit a 2-3 day tour into the 9 hours we had. Even above her knowledge and professionalism, Sarah took such good care of us, texting with us in advance of our tour and helping us to arrange for dinner and taxi back to the station before our return train trip to Paris. By the time we got to Bayeax, I was quite frazzled because not only had our group tour (thru another Viator affiliate tour company) been cancelled twice, but Viator had also cancelled our private tour (for reasons no one could ever figure out). But Sarah assured me that she was expecting us and we would sort it all out later. (Viator finally confirmed that this private tour company had not inititated the cancel and then "un-cancelled" us.) Sarah was a rock--hospitable, professional and caring!
Loved our guide and would recommend her to anyone. She was very informative and a lot of fun. Thank you for a great experience
Traveling with friends and family while learning about the history. We enjoyed it wholeheartedly! We especially enjoyed our guide’s personal connection to the local history.
