Guide #27644
I was born and grew up in Kent, United Kingdom. I am widely traveled and I have been living in Normandy for seventeen years, studying the history of this ancient historical region, both Medieval/Middle Age and WWII. With my Anglo/Norman roots, I am passionate about both these periods and take great personal delight in passing on much that I have learned to my guests and enjoy discussions and exchanging personal ideas. I have been told that I have a friendly nature and an enthusiastic manner, I am easy to understand as I am a Native English Speaker. I worked in all of these sectors throughout the summer season of 2017 on an almost daily basis. I have Lived in Le Mont St Michel for short periods and was privileged to attend Christmas mass in the Abbey with the Monks and Sisters and dined and conversed with them. During all this time I kept up my studies both off and on-site, picking up knowledge from personal stories of guests, including a D day veterans. I am a member of the Guild Of battlefield Guides and a registered Guide in France. My Local knowledge allows me to visit sites that are less well known by non locals.

Graham did a great job showing my family both the beaches of Normandy and Mont St. Michel. This was a 10 hour tour, however, Graham did a great job driving, telling stories and getting us back to the boat on time. He was also very flexible allowing us to change our schedule to see area of interest and provided great recommendations on food. Thank you Graham!
Graham did a great job of describing all the sites and their significance to the invasion. Especially the facts at the American Cemetery by telling us about events and facts we were not aware of. He was overall very informative and great to interact with our party of four. We would recommend him without reservation.

Hi Josh, Many thanks for leaving a review, I really appreciate it. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and were able to learn a few extra facts. very best wishes to you. Graham.
We had a group of six people and collectively feel that Graham did a fantastic job in this D-day tour, from the time he picked us up at the hotel to dropping us off, including arranging lunch at a place that served (essential for one of our party) a gluten free meal (along with some great regular ones). Along the way Graham’s deep expertise and passion for history helped...

Hi Lalit, I'm sorry for the late reply, I really enjoyed our time together and meeting all of you, you are a great group of friends and I felt part of it for a while. I'd be very happy if our paths cross again in the future. Very best wishes and take care, Graham.
This was a wonderful tour. Graham made very part of it interesting because he was so knowledgeable about every location we visited and drove through. Not only was this but he had a good sense of humor and made the tour very pleasurable!
