We met Eric, our tour guide, at the pick-up point, Place du Quebec and headed towards the Canadian D-Day beaches. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. In addition to his formal presentation (a binder with maps and photos), he had a number of stories and observations that enhanced our visit, and always had time to answer our questions. We spent the morning visiting the 3 Canadian beaches and the Juno Beach museum. The museum includes some artifacts from D-Day but also includes a great deal of information about Canada (1939-1945) and its overall involvement in WWII. After a brief lunch we followed the paths of the Canadians as they moved inland toward Caen. The tour terminated with the tragic events of the massacre of captured Canadian troops by the 12th SS Division at Authie and at the Abbey d'Ardenne. Eric provided background information at every stop and then allowed us time to take photos and to explore the plaques and monuments. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the Canada's contribution to the Normandy invasion.

This was a highlight of our trip to France. Eric was a fantastic guide, explaining in great detail the history of the Canadian role during DDay and of the Juno beach assault in particular. To witness the places you have only read about, with Eric’s guidance was truly memorable. This is the tour that anyone interested in DDay and in the Canadian contribution in particular should take.
