Others have said it well, and I will echo it here: my wife and I (in France for our 10-year wedding anniversary) spent nine hours with Bertrand, and we cherished every single minute. He planned our tour route perfectly - a terrific combination of education and observation. I really liked the pace he kept, allowing time to listen to what... More

Our tour started promptly at 9:00 am from the lobby of our hotel and ended at about 7:00 pm at the American cemetery. Bertrand did an excellent job of touring the significant points of interest during D-Day. He also discussed strategy and the missions of the soldiers participating in the invasion. He is very willing to tailor the day to... More

We had a wonderful day touring WWII sites with Bertrand. We are a family of five with three girls (ages 12, 10 & 8) - we felt the best way to tour the sites and get the most out of our experience was to hire a private guide. This was by far the best travel decision we have ever made!... More

First of all, book early! You think Normandy is busy in summer alone? Wrong! We tried booking for several weeks in the months leading up to our visit and everyone was busy! And most of the reviews on Trip Advisor made it hard to pick just one guide. Bertrand was a walking history book. He put me to shame! Being... More

Our tour of the D-Day beaches with Bertrand was simply outstanding. I consider myself a World War II buff and well read on the war but Bertrand provided facts insights and perspectives that were invaluable. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he has a great sense of humor and makes the experience very special. Our tour was a full... More

Bertrand is so much more than a tour guide. His knoweldge and passion for the events that surrounded D-Day really brought history to life for me. Not only did he have a command of the key events that occured on D-Day, but also a respect for the men that lost their lives in battle. More

Six American travelers picked Bertrand up in a nine passenger "people mover" for what we expected to be a half day tour of D-Day sites. Bertrand spent more than 7 hours with us on this afternoon tour, showing us the sites and providing us with a comprehensive and educational experience. Bertrand made our experience much more meaningful than if we... More

One of my husbands' dreams was to visit Normandy. His knowledge of WWII is vast and he wanted to visit Normandy and connect with what happened during that time. He met his match with Bertand, Executive Day Tours. Betrand was an exeptional tour guide. His knowledge of the area and the time period was exceptional. He provided photos of the... More

After researching and emailing several of the other tour providors on trip advisor, we settled for Bertrand........AND WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED..........from the opening email dialogue everything progressed smoothly...........he was early at our hotel meeting and started the day by sharing personal knowledge of Bayeau [ he lives there] before we started into the tour; during our pretrip dialogue we had set...

Bertrand Saudrais provided us with a beautiful and full day experience touring the actual D-Day sites. He was very knowledgeable and used photos and articles to compliment the stories he shared with us. We packed the most into one day, mixing museum visits with site tours that he tailored to our requests. I would go with him again! Thanks Bertrand... More
