I've been on tours where the guide had read history on the subject matter and give a perfectly detailed, rote, dry tour. If this is what your looking for don't contact Mathias Leclere. Mathias picked us up at our B&B and took us on the American tour for a full day. There were 6 of us and his vehicle was... More

My husband and I and one other couple spent a most fascinating full day touring the landing beaches and other significant Normandy invasion sites with Mathias Leclere. His knowledge of and passion for not only the WWII sites, but all of the long and storied history of this area was most impressive and very much appreciated. He made it all... More

Mathias went above and beyond on our tour of the D-Day sites in Normandy. We were four people, including a 12-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy. I agree with all the other comments about Mathias's individualized service, historical knowledge, and personal experience in the area. I would highly recommend his tours. Much to our surprise, we actually started our tour at... More

My college roomie and I went to France to celebrate our 40th birthday recently. Our tour with Mathias was one of the highlights of our trip. We did a half day tour and just wished we'd had more time. Even though it was a cold a rainy day we would do it again. Mathias was so knowledgable and informative! I... More

We booked a half day with online. He was very responsive and met us at our hotel in Bayeux. We had our 16 year old with us and Mathias included all of us in the conversation and adjusted the tour to our interests. Mathias and his family are locals, so he wove a few personal stories into to discussion which... More

We took a day long tour of the American sector in Normandy with Mathias. Everything was perfect. Mathias met us at our hotel in Bayeus (early no less!) and then drove us to the key sites. At each location we visited, Mathias demonstrated his thorough knowledge of D-Day history, and he shared it with you through a mix of stories... More

Mathias, which was our guide, did an excellent job touring us through Normandy and Ste. Mere-Iglise. We visited the beaches of Utah and Omaha, several churches that had a lot of history, Point du Hoc, American National Cemetery, ect... I knew my husband would enjoy it, but I was a little hesitant until the tour got started. I was never... More

Traveling to Normandy between Christmas and New Years, my wife and I found it difficult to find a tour guide who wasn't on holiday. We called the big operators, and luckily they all turned us down. I contacted Mathias, who responded quickly and we scheduled a one day full tour of Utah, Omaha, and the US Cemetery. A few days... More

Mathias gave us a great tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about Dday. He evn helped us find my great uncle's grave at the American Cemetary. I would highly recommend him if you are looking to get a guided tour of Normandy. More
