My husband and I really enjoyed Roel's one day tour that we joined earlier this month. We learned so much about the D-day. Roel is also a fun and personable guide and we enjoyed his company and sense of humor. He is very straightforward and honest, and can be sarcastic, so if you don't like that type of personality, than... More

We took the train from Paris as instructed by Roel and started our tour in Bayeux to the Normany beaches. Roel, the guide, is very experienced. He has done 1850 tours. He's very informative. His trip runs like clock work and he has you back in Bayeux at 5:00. Before the trip I had read all the reviews that were... More

A day well spent and fun! We would recommend Roel (pronounced "Rule") as an enthusiastic guide for a memorable day learning about D-day history and experiences. Roel's knowlege was impressive and his passion contagious as with each new location, we eagerly anticipated what we would learn next! A wonderful day in Normandy! Just a note - we would agree that...

I consider myself somewhat well-read with respect to D-Day. However, I have never been so impressed with anyone as I was with Roel's depth of information. One might expect depth with over 1900 tours under his belt, but his enthusiasm for the topic and his deep respect for the event and participants made us feel like we might have been... More

We just got back from a March 2012 trip to Bayeux and spent an entire day with Roel on a private tour. He was terrific. He's Dutch, but his English is perfect. He had led nearly 2,000 tours, and his experience, knowledge of the sites, and familiarity with the stories really shows. We asked a lot of questions, and he... More

We strongly recommend that you consider using Roel Klinkhamer - Victory Tours for a fun and amazing step-back-in-time understanding of the Normandy invasion and particulary the people stories from soldiers that were there! My husband adores history, and I always like the story-telling talents of Dutch guys, so we chose to spend our day with Roel Klinkhamer of Victory Tours.... More

Touring the site of D-Day was number 1 on my bucket list for many years - my Dad entered WW2 at Omaha Beach. So before our trip I researched online as carefully as possible to be sure I made a good choice for my one and only chance to visit Nomandy. I could not have found a better choice. Roel... More

Roel was fantastic--as the Guide is THE tour. Easy to get in touch with, meet, and spend a memorable day with touring the best known DDay sites....next time we'll go for the "story tour" which gives smaller sites/stories focus that are just as important. More

I traveled to Normandy with my mom and two of her best friends. We booked this tour after reading many reviews. This was truly one of the highlights of our tour. Roel, the tour operator, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I went on the tour with the most rudimentary of knowledge about the DDay invasion and left with an incredible... More
