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!

Mike was the most fantastic guide we could have asked for! His knowledge was so extensive and he made it, not only a wonderful learning experience for us, but we had so much fun too. While it was a sobering experience, he was able to make it so enjoyable and informative, I left feeling very positive about the entire trip. He also took us to the Brittany American Cemetery the next day as well as Mont St Michel - he couldn't have been more gracious and all in all, the perfect guide!! I highly, 100% recommend him as your tour guide.

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on in my 20 years of travel to over 60 countries. Mike was not only extraordinarily knowledgeable and professional, but also extremely passionate about the subject and even tailored the experience to our needs (with four children under 9 years old along with the four adults). I can't recommend this tour enough. Absolutely a must do for anyone traveling to Normandy who wants to tap into the depth and breadth of knowledge of a true expert.
