We took a full day tour to D-Day beaches, pivotal battle areas, and the American cemetary. He was very patient with the other part of our group, which one member was especially trying, at times. He was very knowledgeable and had great information to share. He was flexible with his timetable and managed to spend the right amount of time at all the stops on the tour. He had great recommendations on movies that would enhance our knowledge of D-Day. I would highly recommend this tour.
