I have been drawn to Normandy my whole life to trace my father's movements from DDay and the landing on Utah Beach. His brother landed with the 82nd Airborne the night before. His son, my cousin, had been drawn the same way. By chance we discovered we were both going to Normandy in May 2012 with our wives. We searched... More

This was a great tour and we highly recommend it. Ed is extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to making sure our tour was fun, interesting, and informative. My granddaughter was studying WWII in school and was interested in seeing where the invasion took place. When we got home she put together a PowerPoint presentation for her class, and I was... More

The three tourguides listed in Rick Stevens's Normandy Snapshot book were booked up for my visit on 5 May 2012, but one of them recommended Christophe Rault. I have been a student of WWII since a kid but Chris knew everything about everything beyond what I knew. His non-stop details were amazing. I was hoping to catch him on some... More

This was our second trip to Normandy, this time we met up with relatives to see where my wife's father landed, and his route. After spending quite a bit of time figuring out who was going to guide us, we picked Battle of Normandy Tours not only because of the reviews, but also because of the knowledge and overall guidance...

We spent a full day with Ed for our tour of the D Day beaches, and it was well worth it. Ed met us at the Carentan train station (he's good at spotting bewildered Americans), and we set off. Prior to our tour, Ed provided complete info on how to get there (train schedules, etc.), what the weather might be,... More

I have just returned from Normandy, and my 2nd tour of the beaches and battlefields using Ed as a guide. I'll make my review short and sweet: He is quite simply superb. I am a New Zealand WW2 history enthusiast with what I thought was a pretty good body of knowledge about the events of 6 June 1944. I was... More

My husband and I and our two friends booked Edward Robinson for a half-day tour of Normandy in March 2012. From the moment Edward picked us up at the train station in Bayeux (luggage and all) we were on the go, completely captivated by the region and by the history that Edward brought to life for us. We had no... More

I toured with Ed for four days with a small group of friends. I would consider our group quite knowledgeable and we also have some military experience. Ed quickly assessed our level and what he thought would appeal to us. He developed an itinery that worked superbly for us. He was able to do this because of his extensive knowledge... More

I found Ed Robinson on Trip Advisor and he and his tour surpassed everything that had been written about him. Ed brought the area alive, we felt like we were right back there in June of 1944. He is knowledgeable, passionate, energetic and funny. He was very responsive when I was setting up the tour, gave great recommendations and made... More

Ed Robinson brought D-Day and the Battle of Normandy to life. He is remarkably knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and was able to tailor a three day tour perfectly to our three generation group - grandfather, father, and son. He is a complete pro, incredibly well prepared and invests obvious time and energy to get it right and make it memorable. Ed... More
