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.

Great tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He made the tour very enjoyable. Pierre was great.
Marin was amazing !!! She was so knowledgeable and very nice to spend the day with . We did a full day tour .
We went for a day with Eloise to visit the American beaches, St Mere Eglise, a museum etc. It was fabulous. Eloise is a wealth of knowledge and was absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend this tour operator, Bayeux Shuttle, and for this tour, Eloise for a guide/chauffeur.
Amazing tour. Our guide, Pierre, was extremely knowledgeable and wonderfully pieced together the history of D-Day and much of the impacts WWI-WWII had on France. Pickup and drop off was a breeze, and along the way and at each stop there was always a piece of history or a detail to be pointed out. The weight of history is evident in nearly all the stops. Walking the sands of Omaha and Utah beaches, walking among the bombed our craters of Point Du Hoc, observing the urban battlefield that is Sainte-Mère-Église, and among the rows upon rows of crosses at the hallowed grounds at the American Cemetery. I will not forget this experience for the rest of my days.

An informations well presented tour of the US beach operations. Jordan, our guide, presented a thorough overview of the background to as well as the landings. A visit to Angoville ended on a fascinating story or bravery and the camaraderie in battle.

Whole experience was great, from pickup to drop off. Irene, our guide was not only very knowledgeable, but spoke clearly and understandable. As a person with hearing challenges, I could understand almost every word. You see the sights, but the unexpected can happen too. During the free time at the cemetery I was relating to a fellow traveler my family’s story of one who landed at Omaha beach on d-day. An elderly French woman who was nearby heard the story and engaged me with two main points, one, why did he do this for us? Second, thank your family for what they did for us. This was the highlight for me. So, you never know. You won’t regret this trip.

Thank you again for choosing to tour with us. Kind regards, Deborah from Bayeux Shuttle
Normandy is a must see. Incredibly moving. Our tour took in the American beaches and the cliffs which were scaled by the Rangers. Our guide, Matthew was personable and knowledgeable, fluent in English. Definitely a highlight of our trip to France. We don't have anything to compare this with but without a doubt it was worth going.
