“A Day You Will Not Forget”

Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

My father, brother and I toured the American Sector with Eric on May 9th this year. Our uncle, my dad's brother-in-law, parachuted behind enemy lines on D-Day and was captured by the Germans. Eric brought this alive for us and gave us a great picture of what our uncle faced that day. Not only did Eric give us the sights... More

“Excellent Tour”

Reviewed 19 May 2012 NEW

Eric met us at the train station in the morning and we started the tour. First we went to St Marie Eglise and saw the church and the Musee Airborne. Then we visited Utah and Omaha beach. We stopped at an amazing church which was the highlight of the day. We ended the day at the American Cementery. At every... More

“Best day of our trip”

Reviewed 13 May 2012

It's hard to know where to begin to sing our praises for Eric Le Doux-Turnbull and D Day Landing Tours. As many other reviewers have talked about the sights of the American Sector tour, I will not repeat that. For us, what was so outstanding about Eric's tour was his ability to put us in place and then to tell... More

“Brought D-Day and Battle of Normandy to life”

Reviewed 25 April 2012

person found this review helpful

Eric gave us a grand, enlightening day. We'd read quite a bit of history before the day of our tour, but Eric made so much of that time come to life. We stood in the square of saint Marie Eglise, following the action of the first town that was taken from the Germans; we drove along hedgerows, feeling the same... More

“Wow, what an amazing tour!”

Reviewed 23 April 2012

In desperation at not being able to find a vacancy with one of the larger DDay Tour operators I asked one if they could refer me to someone suitable. Well of the four referrals, only one was able to fit us in for a single day tour - Eric Le Doux-Turnbull. My first thought was this guy no-one wants. Upon... More

“Excellent tour guide!”

Reviewed 15 April 2012

We visited Normandy in March 2012 as a family of four with two teenage boys, and had an outstanding one day tour of the American Sector from Eric Le Doux of D-Day Landing Tours.

We had an amazing one day tour of the American Sector with Eric on April 4th. Our group included three adults and one 5 year old. I had been to Normandy previously but for my dad it would be his first time and was his dream trip. I had done some research and decided the best way to see and... More

“D Day Landing Areas”

Reviewed 11 April 2012

We visited the British and American sectors and beaches as part of our river cruise to the Normandy area. The experience was very sobering as we walked around the landscape and viewed the entire areas. Even with rain and fog, it made history come alive. The films in the British museum were very good and not too long. Exhibits were... More

“Incredibly moving - a fantastic day”

Reviewed 7 March 2012

person found this review helpful

We found out about Eric and D-Day landing tours by searching for reviews on this site. I have to say the reviews were not wrong. Eric is incredibly knowledgable and his stories really bring the d-day landings and the allied invasion of Normandy to life. We chose the British Highlights Tour and at Benouville I could almost see Brotheridge running... More
