Ed was fantastic. His knowledge and personal style made for the most memorable day of our trip to Europe. We wish we had booked two days, not just one. If we go back, which we hope to do, we would definitely book him again. Ed is more than just informative, he is a wonderful storyteller, and has a real gift... More

Eddie was a fantastic guide for us last week 6/2-4/2013. He took us from the beaches to the inland battles for Normandy. With his amazing knowledge of the history and specific effects of battle, Eddie brought to life the experience for the Allies and Germans 69 years ago. Eddie was always engaging and entertaining throughout the tour. I would highly... More

My grandfather was a paratrooper in the 326th Medical Division and it was very important to our family that we go to Normandy and retrace his steps. It was a trip we had talked about for a long time and we finally all had time to go together. We booked our flights only 6 weeks out and we were extraordinarily... More

Edward lead us on a 4-day tour of the battle field sites of WWII, and it was fantastic. His historical knowledge, passionate delivery and personable service made the trip very education and enjoyable. His ability to tell the personal stories of the Allied Forces made the history come alive. His collection of historical photos let us compare the sites to... More

I had long wanted to do a tour of Normandy, but never seemed to find the time to do it. My wife and I finally decided to book two days with Edward Robinson as part of a week in Paris. Normandy was the highlight of the trip and we owe it all to Edward. Edward is unique and fascinating. He... More

We had a great tour with Ed. He is very knowledgeable and ties in the current sites with photos taken at the time. He straightened out a lot of misconceptions that the movies may have given and did it all with charming sense of humour. Very ozzie friendly. I totally recommend his tours.

I have my many degrees, but to really make sense of D-Day and the battle for Normandy you need to take a tour with a great guide like Ed. You will get the "real" story and not some of the misinformation regurgitated by some authors, or "Hollywood" getting little right. Drive down the beautiful lanes that were actually some soldier's...

Went touring with Ed for one and a half days. Apart from the French weather, there's not a single thing I can compain about. Ed is a great guy, and a great tour guide, I learned a lot, and didn't have any questions go unanswered. If you want a good tour guide for Normandy, look no further, Ed is a... More

Our tour guide, Oliver was great. He is very knowledgable and personable.The tour was perfect, visiting Omaha Beach and the cemetary at Normandy along with other historic sites of Normandy. The 1/2 day tour was perfect, and the 2 hour train ride from Paris was great. There is no time or place to eat when you get to Bayeux and... More

We could have spent DAYS with Edward, but only got to spend a day with him. He was funny, interesting, and knowledgeable. He met us all at what our knowledge level of Normandy was. He was detailed enough for my 75 yr old father, addressed my 22 yr old daughter's questions, and kept it entertaining for all of us. My... More
