We beyond highly recommend! We just spent 2 days of our time in the Bayeaux area with Guillaume as one of the most exceptional guides we’ve ever met. We spent day 1 learning about DDay and he helped us understand the region and the details with perspective and insight. Our teens left with an understanding of the events and an appreciation for the tour - he was able to address them as teenagers and understood their questions and temperament. My husband’s grandfather landed the day after DDay and spoke little of the event so Guillaume helped us to better understand his experiences and also his reluctance to discuss elements of his time in the war. Will be able to share what we learned along with our photos with my mother in law, who cannot travel, making it even more meaningful as well.
We spent day 2 learning more about Mont Saint Michel and the surrounding area. I have wanted to see this since I was a teenager in French class where this part of the world seemed so so far away. Getting to walk around the Abbaye with my family was truly a travel dream come true. Our return to Bayeaux also allowed us the chance to see the Bayeaux Tapestry as well - yet another unbelievable historical moment realized.
For context, this is our last major trip for a while as a family as our children are moving out and moving on so to be able to get to this part of the world and create such memories was made a reality with the help of Overlord and Guillaume. They patiently helped us to plan considering our time constraints and itinerary preferences. If you have the chance to do so, book and experience, you will not be disappointed.

It sounds like you had a fantastic trip. We took an Overlord tour last year and we also recommend them.

We so enjoyed our 2 days with Chris of Overlord Tours. So much information and so much more to the invasion than is ever mentioned. They do a wonderful job.
