Normandy two day tour

Posted by on

I saw a post here about a guide but don't know how to find him and make contact:
"We took a tour with Dale Booth when he worked for another firm in 2009. He is now on his own. He is excellent, and I have seen many positive reviews over the years."

Can someone direct me as to how I might contact this person for a tour in September?

Also, I have sent an inquiry form to Overlord Tours (twice) and have not heard back. Am I just "out of season" and need to make contact in the spring or is this something that should concern me about their lack of communication?

Happy travels!!

You can find info on Dale Booth at https://dboothnormandytours.com/

We've personally used Overlord (as have so many others on the forum) and they responded in a timely manner, so I definitely wouldn't be concerned about their lack of communication in the middle of February. I"m guessing "off season" is accurate. I do recall having to submit a request and then at some point they replied back. It's not a click on a date and book kind of system.
My husband had an injury the day before we were to take our tour (it was an April tour) and I really needed to communicate with them and they were really good and helpful in responding via email at the 11th hour when we had unforeseen circumstances. My point being they are reliable.

Overlord emailed me back quickly. They're open year around but the day length is an issue more in the winter, they say. Maybe email them vs using their contact form?
I booked our 2 day Bradley's Tour in late June for early October. I would have done it earlier but that's when we knew we could take the trip.

We just returned from a trip to France and took a 2-Day tour of Normandy with HQ Company Tour (HQ Company Tour. They did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them. Yannick was our guide and was incredible! Nice to have a smaller company with people local to the area provide a tour and give insights to their home.

I had a similar issue with Overlord’s form. I think I just emailed them or something and that worked.

We did a two day tour (beaches) and the battle of the hedgerows. The hedgerows tour was great — also loved the beaches. Glad we did two full days. We also visited Arromanches on our own.
