My husband and I were on a short trip to Paris for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we had Frederic drive us to Bruges since we had never been to Belgium and the pictures looked amazing. After a very comfortable ride there, Frederic started a walking tour with us in the morning and we quickly realized the pictures did not do this quaint city justice! We felt like Disney had created this perfect little town for people to see. Frederic walked us around before we stopped for lunch together. He was going to leave us to dine alone but we asked him to join us because we enjoyed his company so much and we wanted to hear more about the city. After lunch, he gave us the option of having him continue to walk us around or we could explore on our own. We chose to explore on our own since we felt he had given us such a good overview that morning. We had plans to tour the Chocolate Museum but when we arrived, it was closed due to the time of year. We actually didn't mind much and we just spent the day wandering the beautiful streets around the canals and stopping for hot chocolate and waffles. I would highly suggest a visit to Bruges to feel like you have stepped back in time. Speaking of time, we toured in January and lucked out that it wasn't extremely cold. The crowds were very low so it was easy to wander the streets and sometimes we found ourselves the only ones exploring the small alleyways. I would definitely return to Bruges one day and would highly suggest taking this tour especially if it is your first visit or if you have very limited time in the city.

Nicola served as our guide on a two-day tour through the Somme region battlefields and Ypres on September 10-11, 2018. My sister and I were the only people on her tour, making it even more personal. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. Nicola seemed to know everything about World War I and at the battlefields and cemeteries we were visiting. When she didn’t know something such as the relationship between hectares and acres, she acknowledged that she didn’t know the answer and them promptly looked up the information. Although we were on a World War I tour of Western Front areas, Nicola didn’t seem to mind as we asked her questions about her experience living as a Brit in France, Napoleon, the Eastern Front of World War I, Brexit, etc. She was charming, but didn’t ask as if she were trying to earn a bigger tip or receive a positive review. I can’t say enough good things about Nicola and our tour. Speaking of the tour, I should mention that we loved the selection of sites to visit. We knew about the Menin Gate before we went on the tour, but we didn’t really have an appreciation for other places that we visited before going on the tour. Nicola had a good sense of how long to stay at each site. We never felt hurried, but were rewarded for spending time trying to understand the magnitude of the losses and the depth of emotional responses from the countries that were honoring their dead. This is a review by my sister, with whom I traveled.

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.

Booked a private day tour with Duncan for our cruise port day in June. Paid in full. Cruise was canceled and heard NOTHING from Duncan about a refund of any kind after repeated emails. Had to file a claim with my credit card company for a refund. Not reputable. What a scam.

7. Two days ultimate Normandy D-day tour - from the first to the last battle
Completely private tour - once booked, you will not share it with any second party. Direct pick up/drop off from/to your hotel, B&B, airport or trainstation in Paris. Perfectly English speaking driver/guide (the same person - most probably Jozef Prihoda) with huge knowledge about the battles of Normandy and other interresting sites - historical, religious, food & wine related. The tour can be customized depending on everyones personal interest. If anyone had a family relative that participated in the battle of Normandy, Jozef will do the necessary research beforehand and and he will try to implement it within the tour as best as he can. In the past years he was able to help many families to unveil the curage of their relatives and what they been through while trying to liberate France and Europe.

This tour was perfect for our family. We wanted to go to Normandy but were not confident figuring out all of the trains to/from Paris so finding one that left from Paris was just what we needed. The weather was touch and go leading up to our scheduled tour date but Josef was in constant communication with us on what to maybe expect, if some things might be closed, what possible back up plans could be... thankfully we said lets just do and we are so glad we did! Josef was great, super knowledgeable and informative. It ended up being such a perfect day!

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.
