From first contact to after the trip concluded Malcolm and his wife Allison treated us like family. Arriving in Bayeaux and seeing massive tour buses and large vans loading dozens of tourists it was refreshing seeing Malcolm standing alone and escorting us to his SUV.
He prepares a folder for each tour and provides visual aides to reproduce the soldiers first hand accounts. Books and Hollywood do nothing to bring out the TRUTH and personal visceral feelings one encounters as you step in the footsteps of history. See and feel the bombed out bunkers, craters and turn off your phone/camera, place yourself upon those sites and just close your eyes.
Malcolm is not just a guide but a story teller. He is so passionate about this subject. We talked the entire time. He took the time for personal interaction with both my 30 yo and 16 yo son along with my wife and myself. No one felt excluded. Halfway through the tours, his wife Allison provided a nice homemade picnic (optional and recommended) included sandwiches, quiche, fruit, wine and waters in a nice farming area away from the tour groups. Luckily we arrived with very low crowds and never saw more than 10-20 people at any of the sites.
He truly is private and allows you to customize the tour, but follow his recommendations. You won’t be disappointed. If you want to see gift shops, this isn’t the guy for you!
We just got home to the US and I can not stop watching war documentaries. I feel I have a much better understanding and can honestly say, “Hey, I saw that”!
Thank you Malcolm and Allison.

Four of us were picked up by Malcolm at our hotel in Bayeux to begin our 9+ hours tour of the American beaches, cemetery and battlefields of the Normandy area. Malcolm is an expert of the subject, a warm, engaging man who tells the story of the invasion with passion and knowledge. He doesn't just throw out facts, he brings to life the battles, the wins, the loses, the heartbreak and the victories. All of us highly recommend using his company and would definitely doing it all again.

I did a 2-day private tour. Malcolm's passion, knowledge and deep story-telling ability brought the D-Day struggles to life. He can set the strategic context, and then dive down into the individual stories of combatants (from both sides). As he told his stories, pointing to specific spots, it was as if I could see it play out right before my eyes. In addition, we traveled in comfort in his 4X4, and ate wonderful picnics prepared by Alison. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
