Emilie was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the history of Normandy D-Day. The American Cemetery will forever hold our respect and honor in our hearts. We will never forget this eye opening experience.

Professional, knowledgeable, affable, and trustworthy best describe the custom tours provided by this family-owned business. We booked “Private Trip” several months in advance for a six-hour tour of the sites of Paris and a separate full day tour to Normandy. The booking process via email was simple, and Deborah was very communicative about the details and the pricing. Through his near perfect English, his prior experience in the five-star hotel industry, and his incredible knowledge of and passion for history, Jozef provided us with two very memorable days. He took great pride in imparting us with in-depth and detailed analyses, coupled with interesting stories, to fully explain the highlights and historical significance at each destination. On the day of our Paris tour, Jozef promptly picked us up at our hotel in a new Volvo XC60. At each stop, he constantly provided not only information as to what we were seeing, but he offered in-depth historical background and context, inclusive of all the “who, what, where, and why”. By the end of the day, which lasted longer than advertised six hours (without any additional cost), we encountered most of the major attractions and many of the lesser-known landmarks of Paris and acquired a vast historical perspective which greatly enhanced our overall experience. Our second excursion was to Normandy, including Omaha Beach, the American military cemetery, and a tour of the surrounding areas. Standing on the beach, Jozef recreated D-Day, including who was positioned where, the troops involved on each side, the backgrounds of the troops, the impact of the weather, the lines of fire, the weaponry and vehicles, the natural and man-made obstacles, etc. With each step it become more evident that Jozef knew every inch of the terrain and he had read dozens of books from which he pieced together multiple historical accounts from a variety of perspectives. This was a once in a lifetime adventure lead by the perfect guide who pays impeccable attention to detail and his clients’ experience. In addition to the tours listed on their website, Jozef and Deborah also offer customized tours to fit individual interests. We plan to return for personalized tours of Champagne country and other WW1 and WW2 battle sites. The experiences provided by Jozef and Deborah of “Private Trip” are worth every penny (or Euro).

Jozef was an amazing guide - funny, serious, compassionate, and most of all, knowledgeable. We had an incredible day, one that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Absolutely would book something else with him in the future.
