My husband and I have been on Stuart’s DDay Tour twice - once 15 years ago when our children were young - and then again in May of this year when we traveled with 18 of our walking group friends to Normandy. Both tours were extraordinary. It is a full day tour that will expand your knowledge of DDay history but also tug at your heart and soul. Stuart is a superb storyteller and he brings DDay alive through the real life stories of soldiers and their families - many of whom he has met over the many years of his tour work and in writing his historical books. I predict you will be wiping tears away at some point of the day and particularly at the last stop at the American Cemetery. Given that we were such a large group, Stuart recommended that we use the Albion Tours sprinter bus and that worked well. We were extremely comfortable in our travels and in safe hands with our extremely professional driver Jean Francois. A remarkable day tour - not to be missed.

This was absolutely the highlight of our two week trip in France, and we spent time in Paris and other amazing regions. Stuart is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. We truly felt like we stepped back in time through his story telling, with vivid descriptions of historical events. It was an incredibly moving experience in a way I did not expect. It was a sobering reminder of how much past generations have fought to give us the freedom we have today. I highly highly recommend Stuart’s tour. You will not regret it.

Booked Stuart based on a recommendation from a good friend; we couldn't have been more pleased. Stuart took the time to discuss and listen to our expectations, and put together a tour agenda that in addition to the expected beachs / drop zones took us to places we never would have found on our own. The pace was ideal; we moved around quite a bit without ever feeling rushed. Overall a very positive experience.

Normandy includes a lot of significant areas and a very complex story. Stewart spent the day with us putting all the people, places, and events together in a way that allowed us to obtain an in-depth understanding of what happened and why. His guidance included well researched facts, maps, and photos, as well as incredibly moving stories he learned by tracking down and interviewing survivors who were there. There may be lots of good D-Day guides, but based on our experience, Stewart is among the best.

Simply put, our 3 day D-Day tour with Stuart Robertson was the best tour we have ever had. Stuart possesses an encyclopedic understanding of the complex history of the region and delivers it in an easy-to-understand and organized manner. And his presentation itself never ran dry as history sometimes can; he intersperses facts with human interest details drawn from the myriads of D-Day participants he has met over 2 decades, many participants with whom he as stayed in contact with for years. And as this year is the 80th anniversary of D-Day, very few of those veterans survive. Stuart is a fabulous repository of memories so many of the veterans shared directly with him, memories that without Stuart listening may well have been lost when they died. In short, detailed yet easy to absorb history accented by real life human interest stories delivered in a beautiful setting made a superb 3 days.
