Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi kører gerne planmæssigt, og hvis du ikke er ved afgangsstedet inden det annoncerede boardingtidspunkt, tager vi afsted. Der vil være andre om bord, der er ankommet som ønsket, og vi ønsker ikke at påvirke deres oplevelse. Hvis du ankommer for sent, skal du tage en taxa for egen regning for at indhente turen. Vi råder dig kraftigt til at ankomme tidligt til turen, da ingen refusion vil blive overvejet, hvis du går glip af tjenesten.
Du får et godt overblik over strandlandingerne, der fandt sted på Omaha Beach den 6. juni 1944. Herefter vil du have omkring 15 minutter fri tid til at gå på sandet (afhængigt af tidevandsforhold) hvor amerikanske styrker landede på D-dag.
Guiden fører dig ind i den utrolige amerikanske kirkegård og forklarer mange vigtige fakta om, hvornår den blev bygget, hvorfor den er placeret, hvor den er, og mange historier om mænd og kvinder, der er begravet her. Du vil blive givet omkring 45 minutter fri tid til at udforske på egen hånd.
Du vil lære om rollen som de amerikanske Rangers på D-Day, som måtte skala klintene på Pointe-Du-Hoc for at tavse tyngdevåben tyske våben. Du får tilstrækkelig ledig tid til at udforske alene efter forklaringerne fra din guide.
Inkluderet i prisen på din tur er en billet til det imponerende Airborne Museum. Din guide vil give dig tilstrækkelig tid til at turnere denne fantastiske beliggenhed, der vil give dig et større indblik i den luftbårne operation.
Denne lille normanniske by lå på hovedvejen N13, der forbandt Cherbourg med Bayeux og Caen. Dette var den vigtigste rute, som både tyskere og amerikanere skulle bruge for at mobilisere hårdt tiltrængt udstyr under slaget ved Normandiet. Ste Mere Eglise var et mål for 82nd Airborne Paratroopers og er blevet berømt af filmen The Longest Day. Den amerikanske faldskærmsjæger John Steele var uheldig at blive fanget på kirketårnet under faldet.
Mens vi kører, vil vi vise dig noget af det typiske hegnsterræn, som de allierede skulle kæmpe sig igennem. Vi vil forklare, hvordan tyskerne udnyttede landskabet kendt som "bocage" til deres defensive fordel, og hvordan de allierede overvandt dem.
Din guide giver dig en detaljeret redegørelse for landingerne fra den amerikanske fjerde infanteridivision, før du giver dig tid til at udforske de mange monumenter, der findes her.
Vi stopper kort for at vise dig et af vores favoritmonumenter i Normandiet. Richard Winters blev valgt til at repræsentere lederskab på grund af sin verdensomspændende berømmelse fra tv-miniserien, Band of Brothers.
Vi vil tage os tid til at forklare betydningen af denne smukke lille landsby. Dette var et mål for 101st Airborne at hjælpe styrkerne med at lande på Utah Beach.

Excellent day tour of remarkable D-Day sites, museums, and memorials with our guide Charles. He was a fantastic story teller and brought historical moments to life with his recountng as well as being extremely knowledgeable on trivia and other related facts.
I had a great time on this tour. I learned so much about D Day and the different stops along the way. Very knowledgeable and friendly leader. Admission to the Airborne Museum made it a good value too. Good size small van, so you could ask questions and it was a personal experience. I would use this company again.
Our tour guide, Charles was French Air Force. He is a scholar and a gentleman. He brought his own family’s experiences into the tour. He gave us so much information and absolutely loves his job. He made this particular visit extraordinary. From Omaha to the American Cemetery to Pointe Du Hoc and Utah, each stop showed us the history of D-Day you could feel the overwhelming spirit of those events envelope every piece of sand, every cliff, every wave. Saint Mere Eglise was breathtaking. This is a long day. Bring a few energy bars and lots of water. Maybe some tissues, too. Thank you, Charles. We hope we will have the pleasure of meeting you again. Until then, thank you for your service from one military soldier to another. You made this experience really special.
Hi, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your tour of the American D-Day beaches with Charles and that it lived up to your expectations. I'm sure that he will be happy to read your positive comments. We are very grateful to you for taking your tour with us. Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
Jordan was a fantastic guide for our group! My teenage boys stayed engaged during all the information and they enjoyed his humor. Jordan used helpful visuals throughout and we learned so much information about D Day and the days/weeks that followed that we had never even heard about. I would definitely recommend using Bayeux Shuttle. Of course you can’t see all the things on this tour since there is just so much, but they did a good job of picking out some very important aspects on the American contribution to WW2. If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of mapping out your Normandy tour, or if you want to learn many unknown facts while someone else takes you around, then I would recommend this company.
Hi, Thank you for your kind review! We are very lucky to have Jordan in our team indeed. We hope that through his knowledge you were able to gain a good overview of the events that took place here in Normandy on the 6th of June 1944. Thank you for booking with us! Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
Jordan was a great guide, we went to multiple beaches, small towns and Air museum. Not that long of a day with the stops. Chilly on the beaches as nature’s wind hit us hard

This was an amazing tour, thanks to our guide, Frederic. As someone who had always wanted to visit Normandy but did not have a week to see everything, the Normandy American D-Day Experience was the perfect choice. It covered all of the major locations, including Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Sainte-Mère-Église, the Airborne Museum, Utah Beach, and more. Frederic's knowledge of the battle, the people involved, and the Normandy region was extraordinary. Standing at these historic locations while hearing him describe the events of D-Day and the stories of the heroes who fought there was both humbling and unforgettable. Seeing the beaches at low tide and realizing how far offshore the landing craft dropped the soldiers gave us a much deeper appreciation of the tremendous challenges the Allied troops faced on June 6, 1944. The Normandy American Cemetery was especially moving. Seeing the rows of graves of so many young men who gave their lives, many on the same day, provided a powerful new perspective on the sacrifices made during the invasion. Sainte-Mère-Église was equally fascinating. Frederic explained how the fire near the church illuminated the area as American airborne troops descended into the town, bringing the events of that night vividly to life. The Airborne Museum is also a must-see while visiting Sainte-Mère-Église. You can certainly visit these sites on your own, but you would miss the depth of historical context, detail, and storytelling that Frederic provided. He transformed what could have been a sightseeing trip into an immersive journey through history. The combination of visiting these important locations and hearing the rich stories behind them offered insights that go far beyond what you typically see in documentaries. Because of Frederic, my wife and I left Normandy with a much deeper understanding of the battle, the people who fought there, and the region itself. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in World War II history.
