Theo did a great job. He was very knowledgeable about the D-Day landing sites. We would highly recommend Theo and the Ophorus tour experience.

Our tour guide Ann was very knowledgeable about the 3 cities we visited. These cities were magical. We got to taste walnut liqueur because she had a contact with shop owners in Domme.
