Praise for France Custom Tours from our Clients

Al and Janet Jones – Corpus Christi, Texas
Custom tour of Normandy and the D-Day Invasion Beaches

"When we planned our 2008 trip to Normandy and the invasion beaches we sought the best guide available and I am happy to say that we certainly found him in the person of John Bromage. The five days spent with John in Normandy couldn't have been better organized and enjoyable. The accommodations John arranged including Ferme San Simeon, Honfluer and Chateau La Cheneviere, Port-en-Bessin were top notch. The best part of the trip was due to the depth of knowledge John has about all aspects of the Normandy invasion. He brought life to all that I have only read about for these many years.

"He also has excellent client relations skills, being perceptive to the needs of each person in the touring party, and ensuring that any issues are dealt with promptly and satisfactorily.

"I recommend John highly in his role as tour director for battlefield tours."

"After our wonderful trip with John Bromage in September 2008 (bottom testimonial), two of us returned in May 2009 for a two-week tour of South West France. We canoed the Dordogne River, attended a cooking demonstration, toured the Lascaux II and Font de Gaume caves, and visited wineries in Saint-Emilion, Pomerol and Corbieres to mention a few highlights. John planned the trip so that each day was different and better than the last."

"John Bromage not only made our trip to Paris seamless and alleviated any stress associated with traveling in a large European city, he added a spark of fun with his charming personality and quick wit. He was knowledgeable, personable, prompt and attentive. His restaurant and site seeing recommendations were perfect for our group. We would highly recommend John to anyone in need of a guide and/or driver.”

Custom tour of Normandy and the D-Day Invasion Beaches

"Normandy Tour Guide Exceptionale!
"My West Point classmates and I had the pleasure of being led around the Normandy region by Nicholas Kennedy in August 2008. We were treated to a first class tour of all the beaches attacked on D-Day, and the appropriate museums complimenting those beaches. Nick's knowledge was extensive and comprehensive. He led us and our wives through various towns, roads and vistas that gave us a better understanding of what the Allies faced in Normandy in June & July of 1944. During the four days that Nick guided us, his many anecdotes relevant to the places we were visiting were educational, insightful, and sometimes sad, and other times humorous. We could not have been more pleased with our tour of Normandy thanks to Nick's professionalism. It greatly enhanced our understanding of the history of the invasion. I unhesitatingly recommend Nick Kennedy.”

Custom tour of Normandy and the Loire Valley

"We absolutely loved John, who was much more than a driver and guide. We were astounded at his knowledge of all the areas we visited, but especially of the D-Day beaches and sites. Some of us harbor a huge passion for World War II history, stories and sites, and John was the perfect guide. He has a wealth of knowledge about the beaches and sites surrounding the landing area. He was also courteous, efficient, (often picking up lunch for us while we shopped or toured), and considerate (bringing umbrellas and making reservations at crowded restaurants). It would not have been the same trip without him. John made us so relaxed, never rushed, always able to drink in the sights, sounds and tastes of Normandy and the Loire Valley. We feel so lucky to have had him as our guide for our unforgettable dream trip. "
