WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS TOUR...

This was a five star trip!  Loved the music, radio tapes and videos that helped to take
us back in time and added colour as we rode along.
 
Maureen Mollay from US Embassy

The enormity of the invasion came to life as we walked the beaches of
Normandy, Climbed around in bunkers and experienced – first hand – the way so
many fought for our freedom.  Well done Gemmaway. 

Al & Nancy Rosenthal. – Guests staying with Maureen Mollay

Enjoyed all stops, especially museums St. Mere Eglise, American Cementary and
Pegasus Bridge.   Guides comments were excellent and entertaining.

Kelly Anspach – St. Johns Wood Womens Club

We thoroughly enjoyed the Normandy trip. Ashley was a fabulous guide and a wealth
of WWII detailed facts.  Our 11 year old son rates him ‘15’ on a scale of 1 – 10!! 
Fabulous coach driver too.

Susan and Gregory Bergman - AWBS
Matthew (11), Ryan (9) and William (5) – TASIS

We both very much enjoyed our trip to Normandy.   We knew Ed would but I wasn’t
so sure I’d like 4 days of war stuff, however the guide told such good stories it was
great. Thanks to you we are returning to London a bit tired but full of a better
appreciation of the war.

Denise & Ed McLaughlin KCWC, AWC, JUNIOR LEAGUE OF LONDON

The Normandy tour was much more than I expected. The tour guide was
extremely knowledgeable of many details regarding people and places pertaining
to D-Day.
