Dday Omaha Beach tour from Bayeux

Lena was so knowledgeable. She really made history come alive. She helped make the tour meaningful for us since we had family part of the D-day activities. I highly recommend her.

We only had one day to tour Omaha Beach. We took the train to Bayeux for the day and was greeted by Lena at the train station when we disembarked. We were two couples and Lena‘s van was modern and comfortable. What followed was a wonderful experience led by a guide, who obviously appreciated and honored the people and the history. Her knowledge was vast and detailed on all aspects of the history of D-Day including before during and after. We toured the American Cemetery, Omaha Beach and entered German fortifications. She provided options to us including offering for us to walk on the beach itself, which we passed on. We stopped for sandwiches and lunch at a great little spot and since we had a later train to return to Paris, she stretched things out a little bit for us, which was great. She then brought us back to the train station in plenty of time and recommended and showed us where a little café was right next to the train station where we could wait and enjoy refreshments. She also recommended several books to us which she said would provide unique perspectives on the invasion and those who participated. She emailed those links to me the next day as promised. We would without hesitation, recommend Lena for any tours of the Normandy area, including those other than Omaha Beach as she is a student of the history of the entire area.

We loved our tour with Lena! Her knowledge and personal touch made for an exceptional experience.

Lena is a fantastic guide! Communications about the tour were very easy and prompt throughout. Lena is very easy to connect with and her knowledge and passion for the subject of D-Day beaches tour is apparent throughout. We had plenty of time to take in the various locations and even during the car rides she continued the conversation and interactions with us. The time went by very quickly but super informative and insightful. Good stories and anecdotes so it was not boring and plain facts. The amount of time was perfect and she was great about providing perspectives from the American point of view. I will recommend Lena for any future tours and would engage her if I go back to Mont St Michel and other areas in her expertise. Thank you Lena!

Lena was fantastic—very engaging and incredibly informative about D-Day. What we loved most was how she kept us engaged throughout the entire tour while visiting Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. Her knowledge and passion for the history really stood out. We highly recommend her services. You can’t go wrong booking a tour with Lena!

Lena was absolutly amazing. She was so full of knowledge and interesting stories about WWII. She went out of her way to help me trace my grandfathers steps and even took us to the beach where he landed in July 1944. It was by far our favorite tour we did in France!
