Rejseplan
Der er en betydelig gåtur og historisk snak på hvert sted langs kysten, herunder et respektfuldt besøg på den amerikanske kirkegård og besøgscenter.
14.000 faldskærmsudspringere blev droppet inden daggry på Cherbourg-halvøen. En enhed landede ved et uheld på landsbytorvet i Sainte-Mère-Église, med en berømt flyver efterladt dinglende fra kirketårnet. Historien om hans overlevelse plus befrielsen af byen starter turnédagen.
Utah Beach var den første strand, hvor allierede landede om morgenen den 6. juni. Kysten var et vigtigt strandhoved i Cotentin-regionen for at indfange Cherbourg og dens dybvandshavn. 23.000 amerikanske soldater i Utah over mange dage.
"Bloody Omaha" var en afgørende forbindelse mellem Utah Beach og den britiske invasionssektor. Forkert-timede landinger, grundlagte kampvogne og mangel på fokuseret artilleristøtte forsinkede overtagelsen af de afgørende 8 kilometer, som skulle tages kl. 7.00, til langt ud på aftenen.
At besøge den fantastiske klippe, hvor Army Rangers klatrede opad, direkte ind i tysk skud, er en tryllebindende del af historien om D Day. De heroiske mænd anede ikke, at våbnene var blevet flyttet og koncentreret lige om deres sektor.
Den beskedne fisker- og ferieby Arromanches var et vigtigt fodfæste for de allierede den 6. juni. Rester af såkaldte "mulberrys" er stadig væk fra kysten, hvor bugtens hårde hav var tæmmet nok til at holde skibe forankret og opretholde en forsyningskæde. for tropperne.
Dette bluff med udsigt over Den Engelske Kanal og Omaha Beach er stedet for den amerikanske kirkegård og besøgscenter. Mere end 9.000 soldater mistede livet ved at sikre strandene. Ejet og drevet af American Battlefield Monument Commission, er stedet på 172 acres. Et gitterkort noterer gravsteder, og et meget bevægende sted er de forsvundnes mur.

I went on the two day tour, Normandy and Mont St. Michel. Fortunately we had a history geek on the Normandy tour who had more information for us than could be expected. The only downside was she dropped us off at the meeting point in downtown Bayeux in the rain and proceeded to drive right past our hotel to drop others at the train station. Bummer for us. Overall was great and that won't impact the score. The hotel they put us up in Domaine de Bayeux was outstanding. Very very nice staff, a converted chateau with a breathtaking courtyard. The village is quaint and as my girlfriend stated, adorable. Mont St. Michel was a marvel and something you really shouldn't miss. Very unique and worth the day. Buy first class train tickets upgrade, you'll thank me for the extra space and luggage storage.
What an Amazing trip! I took my son, who had never been there, to experience this historic place. The highlights of the trip were seeing Utah Beach & Sainte-Mere-Eglise, I had never seen them before, but most of all being at the American Cemetery for the flag lowering was truly emotional. Dylan, the tour guide, was exceptional with his knowledge of D-Day and the whole history of the time & area. We were doing this tour in conjunction with a cruise we had been on, and Lauren who I booked the tour with was a great help not only with the tour but also gave me advice on transfer from the ship, getting to Paris, and using transportation while in Europe. Dylan & Lauren made this once in a life time trip with my son a memory we will both carry the rest of our lives! Thank you Both!
Seamless process; communication was clear and concise related to all aspects of the trip. Our tour guide, Axelle, was excellent; extremely knowledgeable, engaging and very responsive to the group! Would highly recommend the tour!!
François, our tour guide had a wealth of information about the history of D-Day. He was very passionate and enthusiastic about what to see and spend energy on.
Igor, our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and made sure we were able to see key sites in the time allotted. Because we went on a national holiday, it was particularly crowded and we could have easily missed seeing some things.
This day trip from Paris was a highlight of our trip. We had the pleasure of our guide being local to Normandy and only two generations removed from the horrors of war in his home. Igor was a passionate story teller with so much knowledge he was prepared to share with all. If you want a deep dive on WWII History in one day, I recommend this trip!
Our guide, Thierry, was very knowledgeable. He added a lot to the tour with his detailed stories about some of the men who fought in these battles, and the tactics and strategies of the combatants and their commanders. He used pictures and maps of the action in his presentation. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be ready for a few close quarters and steps in the bunkers. Also be ready to stand as your tour guide details what happened in these areas in 1944. Come with your questions. Our guide time the ending to be at the EOD taps and flag lowering.
Thank you Don!

Thank you Jason!
David was an incredible guide: knowledgeable and accommodating. My husband and I rate this tour A++++ ! We highly recommend it.
Thank you!
The tour was amazing. I loved the small group aspect. It makes the tour so much more meaningful. Our guide was enthusiastic about the Normandy area and the history. I appreciate him making the effort to get us to the cemetery in time to see the lowering of the flag. It meant a lot. It was a fantastic day, I would use this group again for any tour they offer.
