SELF GUIDES FOR NORMANDY
These are available from WALKING D-DAY STORE
Human guides are not within the means of everyone. Bus tours or organised walking tours are a hassle and you have to be there on the spot or else. And wandering around without knowing where to go or what you are seeing can waste your precious vacation.
So take advantage of a guide with 25 years experience for a fraction of the cost of having me with you in the flesh.
There are many guide books available with 100s of pages, to make them worth the price. But how to sift through the information to know where to go. These guides give you an organised itinerary that will take a day.
