Radio Agnes is what her fellow tour guides call the tour guide we had for our Normandy tour. She was on the microphone for a good part of the tour. Her knowledge of the surroundings and the stories behind them on the three hour ride to Normandy made for an enjoyable ride. Once we got to Normandy the facts about the history of the D-Day invasion and the days leading up to it was a history lesson right there where history was made.
