Guide #47688
I've been lucky enough to be a tour guide in Normandy since 2007 after having studied tourism in Paris. I couldn't have imagined then how much I would value each day I live and work in this wonderful and historic region. Whether you've been reading about the sites you want to see here in Normandy and have finally managed to get the chance to come and see it for yourself, or you just want you and your family to develop a better understanding of the events that happened here, I appreciate that this is very likely a once in a lifetime occassion and I will try to make your visit an unforgettable experience for you. As a visual person I need to see something with my own eyes to try to understand it and I think many people are like this as well. Consequently I work with maps and photos to help you to understand locations and how and why things happened there. It's also great to see the difference between then and now. I only give private tours because I believe that conversations during our day together make all the difference. We can walk out on the beach as much as you want, and whenever anything isn't clear, please just ask a question, that's why I'm here! Often visitors end their day with me and say they've enjoyed learing about the history of the events, but what I find so passionate about it is that everyone has their own interests and perhaps personal stories to share. I will talk about the overall history (and for the D-Day tours this will include as well personal and local stories of people involved). Whenever I can, I'll take little side streets to show you what Normandy really looks like and how people live, and lived, out here in the country side. If you think that I might be the guide you are looking for, come on tour with me for a great journey!

Hello Dan, thank you for the nice rating! All the best, Eva
Eva’s tour was delightful. She is so familiar with every aspect of the main attraction and the surrounding country side, and her diverse background adds so much to the overall experience. I can’t recommend her work enough.

Hello Paul, thank you for your very good rating! Oh yes, I will come for sure to the US, as soon as I can. Take care, Eva
Eva Ruttger led an amazing tour of the American beaches in Normandy. Her knowledge of the events leading up to and after the invasion itself added great context to the events of June 6, 1944. Eva’s knowledge of local roads and lunch spots kept us from getting bogged down behind tour buses!
