• 5Incredible Tour with a Spectacular Guide!

  It's difficult to articulate how meaningful of an experience this tour was. We knew this tour would be a sobering experience, but Boy's connection to the Normandy region and the personal relationships he has built with many veterans resulted in a feeling of developing a more personal connection that was unexpected. We loved how Boy would guide us through each of the locations, giving us the history, pointing out interesting individuals and telling us their stories, and telling us how the monuments and resting grounds were developed and continue to be maintained. He would then allow us time to sit with that information, allowing us time to process. We were never rushed from location to location. This is a day that will stay with you long after you return home. If you're planning a trip to Normandy, this is the D-Day tour you should book!

• 5Memorable Day

  Excellent tour! Our guide was fabulous. His “job is his passion” and it shows. Extremely knowledgeable, informative and helpful in learning more about our grandpa who served in WWII as a medic, landing in the beaches just after the first wave of soldiers. Very had a very moving day. Highly recommend Boy Eysbroek (Neptune Battle Tours).

  I can’t believe it took me this long to write this review! We had an amazing day with Boy. Wow! What an experience. Boy works really closely with our remaining WWII vets and because of that, he has some unique stories to share on the tour, stories you don’t hear with other tour guides. I met Boy through a mutual connection I have from a previous role I held where I hosted WWII veterans for December 7th events in Hawaii. With no hesitation, my friend recommended Boy, and Boy took care of us from the onset. Boy picked us up on a rainy morning and bad weather aside, we had a beautiful time. He even had a car seat for our baby. The whole family really enjoyed the trip and it truly felt like we were hanging out with a friend the whole day. We would totally recommend a private tour with Boy. He knows his stuff and he’s a fun hang too!

• 5Outstanding Tour

  We consider ourselves really blessed to have chosen Neptune Battle Tours for our visit to Normandy. Our guide was "Boy". (He is also the owner of Neptune Tours!!) Boy was phenomenal! I couldn't imagine a more professional, flexible, or knowledgeable guide for our visit to Normandy. We (my wife and I) started the day by getting off our train from Paris in the wrong town!! (Caen instead of Bayeux!!) Boy didn't hesitate at all. Once we realized why we couldn't find each other outside the Bayeux train station, he was immediately back on the road, headed to Caen to find his lost clients! No recriminations, no smirking, just polite and efficient flexibility to make things feel seamless to us. Some skills and traits that Boy has that we felt at EVERY stop on the day: Knowledgeable - Boy knows the Normandy Campaign. Not just D-Day...but the Normandy Campaign. He opened our own perspectives to understand a much larger picture than we had when starting the day. Personal Knowledge - Boy has met people. Veterans of D-Day. Veterans of the Campaign. Historians. Family members. Foundation leaders. His gentle manner and genuine interest has helped him to accumulate a TON of information, background, personal anecdotes, and different perspectives on the history all around you in that area. Manner - Boy shares his wealth of knowledge without ever appearing to lecture or seem to be reading any type of script or check-list. He truly shares what he knows in a way that makes what could be an overwhelming flow of info become a series of personal observations about what we were seeing. Pleasant - Boy is just a nice guy! He never forced conversation, or allowed awkward silences. It was just a fun day with someone we felt we could call "friend" by the time we said good-bye at the train station. (On time, and at the correct station!!!) It was our very first private tour, 1-on-1 with a guide. We were a bit nervous and wondering about spending a day with a stranger. Well, that "stranger" thing stopped about 5 minutes after he picked us up. And it never felt forced. We felt all of those skills throughout the very full, but unhurried, day. I understand why his reviews are all so positive. We strongly recommend planning your trip to the D-Day beaches so that you can engage Boy for a day.

• 5PHENOMENAL Experience!

  Boy took our family of 5 adults on not just a D-Day tour; it was a life experience none of us will ever forget! He expertly guided us to all the main sites (and some less advertised sites) explaining the details of the events not just in facts but through the stories of people who were there. Boy personally knows scores of Normandy veterans and re-tells D-Day experiences with first hand stories of those who fought there. He is an avid history enthusiast since a young child. He conducts his tour with passion and a mission to keep the memory, heroism and sacrifices of those who fought in Normandy alive for future generations to appreciate and understand. I cannot more highly recommend this tour, 10 stars would not be high enough of a rating! Gift yourself this tour experience, you absolutely will not be disappointed!

About Bayeux

Bayeux is a small Norman town of medieval lanes and a Gothic cathedral, home to a famous embroidery of the Norman conquest and close to the D-Day beaches.

A strip of embroidered linen almost seventy metres long, made in the eleventh century, tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and hangs in its own museum in town. The cathedral, whose crossing spire towers over the rooftops, was consecrated in 1077 with William the Conqueror present. Bayeux escaped bombing in 1944, so its old centre of half-timbered and stone houses along the River Aure is largely intact.

Top-ranked sights in Bayeux: Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial.
