  Personal Normandy Experience
This was an amazing day! Mike is so knowledgeable about the Normandy beaches, the invasion and WW II! He has so many stories to tell about the places and people. We could have spent another eight hours with him. The time with him went very quickly and he gave us so much information to process and remember. He took us places we would never have thought to visit as he really customized the tour for us. Ending our tour at the American Cemetery was emotional as I was able to see my cousin's grave, enhance his name with the Omaha Beach sand and reflect on his and others' service. Seeing the enormity of the Cemetery makes the sacrifice the men and women gave become very real. Mike's stories about individual grave sites made it very real and personal. Our one regret is that there is so much to see and one day really doesn't give a chance to absorb all that there is to see. We would have liked more time at the Cemetery as we arrived as the American flag was being lowered and so close to closing time. We certainly will recommend Mike and Allied Victory Tours to others. Five stars does not do Mike and this tour justice - rates a high 10!

  Exceptional D-Day Guide!
Mike was an exceptional tour guide, a true historian, and an engaging story teller. He went above and beyond to customize our family's tour and re-trace the path of a family member's Omaha Beach experience 80 years ago.

  An Unforgettable Day in Normandy
My husband was a US Army officer who has studied the Normandy campaigns extensively. He was HIGHLY impressed with Mike’s knowledge. Mike planned a 1/2 trip to explore Major Howie’s trek to St Lo. It was an unforgettable 1/2 day. Our only regret - we wish we had scheduled a full day! Mike is incredibly professional and engaging. We have made a new friend. We are already talking about a return visit and will absolutely be contacting Mike about another tour!

  Excellent experience
What a great day! Definitely worth it; we learned so much. Mike picked us up on time, and was a wealth of knowledge. It was a very full day and although we started getting tired, Mike kept his energy up all day! It was well worth the time and money. We are still talking about some of what we learned.

  A tour to remember
I have long wanted to go to Normandy to see where the Allies fought to free Europe and end the fascist designs of Hitler. Mike's tour for me was perfect. If we did not have a time constraint we would have spent even more time with Mike. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and just the best person to spend the day with. He not only shows you the main site everyone goes to see, he also shows you sites some or most tours miss. An example of this would be in the town of St Mere Eglise. When we arrived there were a number of tours already present standing in front of the church looking up at the parachute and mannequin representing John Steel a member of the 82nd Ariborne Division. Mike told us what happened in the courtyard as the airmen from the 82nd came down on the morning of June 6th. How and why the Germans were there. About the fire in a nearby building that brought the villagers out. About John Steel's parachute being hung up on the church steeple, though he was not the only airman that got hung up on the church roof. Mike also told us how the 101st Airborne had landed in this same area a few hours earlier with a different result. Now, I am sure most tours cover these details. Some people from these tours then quickly went into the church and then came out. I asked Mike if we would be going into the church. He asked me why I wanted top go into the church, but obviously he knew. I wanted to see the stained glass windows. The stained glass windows honor the American service men who freed the town as well as helping to free France. Mike did an excellent job describing the windows in detail. He also told us about the church and its history. These windows are not to be missed. For me. this was a perfect tour and experience. I am sure other tours are also very good. What I can say about our tour with Mike was I would do it again in a heart beat, but this time I would book at least two days.

  Normandy Tour
Just had a great day visiting Utah and Omaha beaches, and ending at the American Cemetery. Mike was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable and thoughtful, with a great sense of humor. The day was both fun and sobering.

  Wonderful experience touring Normandy with Mike
My family and I visited from the states. We had no idea what we were in for on our tour of the D-Day beaches with Mike. By far, it was one of the most moving and enlightening experiences we’ve ever had. And that was because of Mike… his knowledge, his storytelling, but mostly his humanity and respect for those fought, and for those that gave their lives. Book this tour with Mike, you will not regret it.

  Mike is the best guide ever!
We spent two full days with Mike on the beaches and the cemeteries as well as other significant stops along the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and we all learned far more than we ever knew. His enthusiasm for WWII history is contagious and we were all saddened when our two days were complete. Most importantly, he is just a great guy and so comfortable to spend time in his company.
