Roger Freidline – :
Our tour to Utah beach where my father in law landed on D-Day was excellent. Marianne has tremendous knowledge of D-Day as well as the Normandy area. This was a tour from a cruise ship, so Marianne and her husband/driver met us at the pier in Honfleur and we left for a very full day since Utah Beach is the furthest away, but the time went by so quickly with Marianne discussing history and points of interest along the way. It was an excellent tour and I highly recommend it!
Randy Willilams – :
Our Omaha Beach and American Cemetery tour with Marianne was fantastic. We met Marianne at the Caen train station where we picked up our rental car–she directed our travel out of town and into the countryside beautifully. We enjoyed an information filled morning/early afternoon with Marianne, learning fascinating stories about the area, WW II, French resistance fighters. Our stops at Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery were very moving. Highly recommend!
Brian Evans – :
Marianne was a superb guide, effectively blending sophisticated historical knowledge about the Norman Conquest and the Normandy Landings with her poignant personal perspective on the French Resistance in the Second World War.
Mary Burnett – :
We had the BEST day with Marianne! If we spent a month with her we would still be learning. The weather was magnificent as was the tour, Normandy was the highlight of our visit to France. Marianne is a gem!
Sybil Klug – :
An enjoyable day visiting the landing beaches. Marianne was a knowledgable guide. We learned many important facts while touring the normal sites. The convenience of being picked up by our guide and taken home was very important for us. Thank you for the exciting day.
Melissa Matthews – :
What a fabulous day! Marianne was such a great guide. She had so much information to share! She was really able to “set the scene” for us and what it must have been like for all of those soldiers that stormed the beach. She made sure the tour was very personalized! I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide! Thanks Marianne for making our visit so memorable!
Jane McLaughlin – :
My husband and I, plus our son, and his family had the pleasure to have Marianne as our guide.We found Marianne to be extremely knowledgable and we all agreed the DDay Tour experience would not have been as impressive without having her as our guide. She was wonderful with the adults and our granddaughters. We highly recommend Marianne as a guide for a memorable tour of the DDay Sites.
