They loved it and it’s in part because of him.

Kate was with us for 5 days and she treated us like family! It couldn't have been any better. I was overwhelmed by the extent of her knowledge and it was very moving to hear about her personal experiences growing up in the Normandy area and her experiences with her Dad and Grandfather. And the extra steps she took to make our trip memorable, like planning to end one of our days at the American cemetery to watch the retiring of the colors and hear taps played, just added to our experience. I would highly recommend Kate for anyone that wants a truly memorable and moving experience visiting this important part of our history. Thank you so much Kate!!We just returned to Ohio, after spending an amazing 5 days with our tour guide Kate. She was absolutely delightful. Her knowledge of the historical events, made the tour very educational and memorable. If visiting the Normandy region, I would highly recommend this tour guide.
