We had a fantastic experience with Malcolm's tour. He and Alison made the booking easy, and he arrived promptly at our hotel for pickup. His vehicle was comfortable and the picnic lunch prepared by Alison was delicious. Malcolm is very knowledgeable about the events of D Day and WWII, but also added a great deal of interesting behind the scenes stories. We did the American beaches, and would love to return sometime to explore more of the area. Would definitely engage him again.
Every aspect of our contact with Malcolm and Alison has been a pleasure. Booking was very simple and very professional. They could not have been more accommodating.
We were met exactly as agreed and Malcolm looked after myself and wife incredibly well. It was an absolute pleasures spending time with him. He has a huge level of knowledge and presents the story of D Day to you in such a way that it is totally engrossing. My wife described listening to Malcolm was like watching a film play out before you.
At all times we found Malcolm to be thoughtful and professional and it made the whole day a wonderful experience. We will be revisiting the area with our friends and another tour with him is top of our list of things to do.
We throughly enjoyed our tour. Malcolm was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of D-Day. Plus, he was a delight to tour with. We hit all of the sights in the American zone that were on my list. I am a WW2 history buff and I learned a great deal during our day. If you want an enjoyable day with deep immersion into the history of Overlord, Malcolm is your man!
Absolutely an amazing day with Malcolm exploring the American beaches and other sites. Malcolm is a wealth of information and in general just a lovely person to spend a day with. I appreciated not only the breadth of the information he had but the depth. The individual stories he was able to share really made the experience more meaningful for my husband and I. I enjoyed trading book recommendations with Malcolm and talking about World War One as well. He had so many suggestions for ways to engage with the local history.
Every glowing review on here is well deserved and you would be missing out if you did not schedule a tour with him. I would also add that you must have the picnic lunch - his wife is an excellent cook and the food was fantastic (hopefully he will have cinnamon apple cake and quiche for you!). If you can book more than one day to really enjoy your time and see more, I would recommend (I wish we had been able to do that).
Malcolm was an excellent tour guide.
He was knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted to do and clearly knew his way around the area.
He was also good company and sense of humour.
The little places off the beaten track he showed us were the cherry on top.
Thanks Malcolm
I’m still amazed at the amount of touring we were able to accomplish in one long day with Malcolm. It otherwise probably would have taken us three whole days to cover the US sites and without the benefit of Malcolm’s encyclopedic knowledge of D-day. Malcolm brings the events of the D-day landings to life in vivid detail but without being overly technical or confusing. All of the communication leading up to the tour was flawless and we appreciated being picked up at our hotel in Bayeux. Do not miss the homemade picnic lunch prepared by Malcolm’s wife Alison—just delicious. I can’t recommend Malcolm as guide highly enough. You’d be lucky to have this amazing and highly moving experience with him.
