I became ill for a few minutes during the tour, and my tour guide, Ash, snapped into action to help me. I appreciated his kindness and concern. He was also very knowledgeable about the places we visited. If you have a desire to see the American cemetery and museum and the Normandy beaches, this tour is a very good way to accomplish your worthy goals.
