Magali’s D-Day Tour from Bayeux was the best of the twelve professional tours we took while in Europe. Magali had a commanding knowledge of the events of D-Day, explained it with compassion and respect, and took us to some of the most moving yet simple sights that made D-Day and what happened come alive. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Magali to be your guide. She is kind, funny, and her English is easy to understand.

We had the absolute privilege of taking a D-Day beaches tour from Bayeux with Valentin, and it was the highlight of our entire trip to Normandy. Valentin’s depth of historical knowledge is incredible, but what sets him apart is his genuine passion. He made the history feel alive, relevant, and so much knowlege of WW2. An absolute professional and an exceptional guidehighly recommended! Irish Girl♧
