Corinne P.16, Oct 2024My partner and I took the Normandy tour with Matt on Sept 5/2024. It was an exceptional day with Matt. He was so knowledgeable, we learned things that we would not otherwise have access to.
Matt was courteous, upbeat and very respectful of the fallen soldiers from all the countries that helped free France and Europe in WW!!.
There were moments that were very emotional, reflecting the life and death of the soldiers at the hand of the Nazis.
Matt kept the day moving seamlessly and it was fun to spend the day with him. I highly recommend Matt and Orphorus Tour.
