A Masterpiece of a Tour!

5.00Matt went above and beyond all of our expectations in every way. His historical and military knowledge of D-Day is absolutely incredible, the result of interviews with first-hand witnesses - including Normandy locals and D-Day veterans - and rigorous academic study. It isn't all facts and figures, though. Matt's tour brings a very Human perspective of D-Day through masterful storytelling giving an immersive experience we've never seen anywhere else. The tour is clearly years in the making, and we are so proud that Matt continues his pursuit to keep our shared History of defending Freedom alive.
Guillaume was the best!

5.00We booked a half day tour and had a really good experience! Guillaume was the best tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personalized our tour to exactly what we wanted and gave us a good amount of time at each stop. He kept us entertained with historical stories while we drove from place to place in the comfortable van. He also used a helpful flip book to show pictures that illustrated the stories he told. Guillaume not only answered any questions we had but also provided us with tips and recommendations for things to do in Bayeux and Mont Saint-Michel! Would highly recommend the tour and Guillaume!
Phenomenal experience with Matt

5.00Good evening , In regards to our tour with Matt, we would like to say he was an absolute joy to be with and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Matt was first and foremost a courteous and honorable person but an incredible guide. He was so knowledgeable and brought the tour to life and gave it incredible depth ! His knowledge evoked raw emotion to what we saw and experienced! There’s no doubt that he had researched and learned every possible aspect of not just our tour, but the experience we had! Please extend this review to him with warmest regards!!!
Informative and humanizing

5.00My wife, 32 year old son, and I very much enjoyed our 4 hour tour with Matt, in my wife’s and my case our first visit to the Normandy US D-Day beaches. Our son had visited with his grandparents two decades ago. We were joined by another American family of 5. Matt did an exceptional job of communicating more than the simple history of those events, but rather took the unusual approach of examining the perspectives of German, French, British, and other participants as well as of the Americans, while fully bringing us to an emotional climax on Omaha Beach, following taps and the lowering of Old Glory at the American Cemetery. Very moving. Matt’s dozen years of leading this tour and passion for the subject were evident as his knowledge was both exhaustive and intimate, infused by personal stories of his interviews with villagers who had been children at the time, a soldier who had been in the second wave at Omaha, and his own personal views. This was not a tour repeating information out of a book or a movie, but rather an intimate examination of the strategies and experiences from varying perspectives through the lens of someone deeply committed to sharing his passion for the subject. Terrific. Our only regret was not having more time!

5.00What an amazing and emotional day visiting Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and The American Cemetery. Our tour guide Matt was incredible and provided fantastic running commentary that perfectly accompanied our sightseeing. I learned a ton about all aspects of the D-Day invasion and the ensuing battle in Normandy. Matt’s passion for the topic and his storytelling made it an incredible day.

5.00We were 100% satisfied with our tour with Ophorus. The company was not our first choice since Overlord was full!! And are we thankful for that disappointment!! Our tour guide Pascal was humorous, incredibly informed, thoughtful and gave us so much more than we expected. Why? We have done D day tours several times over the years and in spite of being a half day tour, Pascal made this into a full day experience!!

5.00Our tour covered some of the highlights of D-Day! Our tour guide was informative and made sure we made it to the American Cemetery for Taps. We only booked a half-day, I would recommend a full day tour.
