We were on a cruise and we needed a ride from the Port of LeHavre to Rouen, and then a return ride at the end of the day.  And that's what we got.  Our driver was nice and he did what we needed.  We were driven in a clean Mercedes Van. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the price. 899 Euros (over $1000 US) was pretty hefty to drive 4 people about an hour each way.  Our concern was that we wanted to be sure that we had a ride, and we were willing to pay, so this isn't a complaint.  More of an observation.

She had a lot of easy to read pages with invasion routes and old photos etc that really gave context to D Day. She was incredibly knowledgable, passionate and fun to be with. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Norman was our guide for our day in Normandy. He was so knowledgeable about the events that took place here. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but  we still tried to make the best of it and see as much as possible.  One thing I would suggest is to give more of the history in the car while the driver is taking us to the next sight. Instead we covered all of the Information outside the car at the site and that only left us a few minutes to view each site on our own. It was a great tour but felt a bit rushed.
