What an absolutely amazing D-Day tour with Dylan! His knowledge and passion for WW2 and D-Day is remarkable. My husband, 2 children (21 & 16), and I all give the full day tour a 10/10. We truly felt like we understood D-Day and so much more about the war after the day. Dylan took us to so many amazing sites and made us feel connected to what all those men endured. It is a day we will always remember. Jenny was wonderful to work with while booking the tour. I highly recommend doing the full day D-Day tour!

Florent was an excellent guide and a great person. For starters, he was there on-time and his English was perfect. We spent a day touring the beaches, museums and cemeteries with a nice lunch in between. The pacing was perfect and Florent provided the right level of information to suit our needs with words, maps, and pictures. If you have any relatives who were present in Normandy, Florent has the skills, passion, and connections to do the research that really makes your trip come alive. He showed us where our cousin landed and described the invasion in chilling detail. It was a day we will never forget!

My husband, sister and I wanted to follow the steps of my father from Omaha Beach to where he was wounded in Normandy. We provided Flo with the documentation that we had in advance and scheduled a personalized tour. Immediately, we felt a connection with Flo. His passion for WWII history was evident from the minute we met, and he and my husband bonded over their love of history, research, and "before and after" pictures. My sister appreciated how personable and approachable Flo was during the tour and she loved the visual aids that helped tell the story of my father's journey. What I loved most was his passion/commitment to WWII knowledge and the men who served. He is able to add an additional layer of understanding gained from his many oral interviews of WWII Veterans. He didn't recite a script, but instead had conversations and was responsive to our questions. By the end of the day, he felt like family.

The tour my Mom and I had with Dylan in Normandy a few weeks ago was much more than a tour of WWII 'sites,' it was letting ourselves be encased in storytelling about the people and places that saw, shaped and maybe even survived what took place in this beautiful and sacred part of the world. We booked a full day's tour with Dylan, were picked up without any fuss at our hotel in Caen and were off to Angoville Au Plain - a site we hadn't even heard of or thought to request - to see a church that became a hospital treating both Ally and German soliders. It became my favorite part of the tour as Dylan brought to life the stories of the soldiers from both sides, as well as the local townspeople and how the camaraderie experienced in those days has lasted a lifetime and is still honored till this day. We saw the rest of the major American sites also, and as we did we were able to talk to Dylan about my grandfather, who never saw combat in Normandy but was taken POW in the Ardennes. We don't have records of his internment, but as part of that conversation have been able to piece more together about where he was likely captured and might have been held in Austria. What was most surprising and incredible about this tour is realizing it's not a 'tour' at all - it's a way of life, relationship-building and history keeping for this team, who travel every year to collect first person stories to try and keep these memories alive. Their passion, respect and dedication is truly heartwarming, and I know when I return to this part of the world I will certainly be seeking them and these stories out again.

I was looking forward to seeing the D-Day beaches a lot and having Jenny from Florent Plana guide my wife and I throughtout the sites. Never did I realize that I would feel some of the same emotions that those on the beaches must have felt, or those French citizens literally welcoming their saviors. Of course it didn't come close to what those people felt, with life and death hanging in the balance, but to a small degree I got to live those lives, and it was in no small part because of Jenny and the information and expertise she had in expressing the events of those days. I don't think my wife and I ever benefitted as much from a guide, as we switched back and forth from hearing valuable information from Jenny and having her give her insights into questions we asked. I am quite knowledgeable about WW2 and not afraid to ask as many detailed questions as pop into my head. At the end my wife remarked how well Jenny was able to answer all my questions, and how much empathy she shared with us about the lives of the people those days. And it was contagious. Do yourself a favor and have Jenny show you around Normandy. It will be an experience you won't forget.
