Reviews
We were lucky enough to be part of Lea’s Chateau Bellevue wine tour. Her personality was delightful and the knowledge she shared elevated what we already knew to another level. The wine was wonderful, the chateau was stunning - a perfect day! Merci beaucoup Lea!
We are a group of six and availed of a full day tour of the D Day American Sector with this company. The Drivers name was Pascal an ex Police Officer who had served also in Kosovo and Afghanistan which helped us bond really well with him as we were also Veterans who had also served Military Tours in these areas and one of our Guys is a serving Police Officer. Pascal had execellent English and an immense knowledge of the 6--6-44 the events leading up to it and the aftermath of the operation, mix into this his excellent personality and wit and you get the perfect combination for a day to remember. I highly recommend this company and if all their guides are as good as Pascal you will not be disappointed.
Not a real history buff but our guide Pascal made it very interesting! He went the extra step to provide a very enjoyable tour. He communicated his knowledge in such a way as to educate yet entertain his audience. He provided extra visuals which made it easier to understand what took place on the D-Day beaches. The American Cemetery had an aura of reverence about it. To be there in person was very emotional. May we never forget the sacrifices that were made there!!
