Normandiet: Privat rundvisning i den amerikanske sektor af D-dagens landingsstrande
Beskrivelse
Vores første stop er den amerikanske kirkegård i Colleville-sur-Mer, en gribende hyldest til de allierede soldater, der mistede livet. Her kan du vise din respekt og lære mere om betydningen af dette højtidelige sted. Bagefter tager vi til Omaha Beach, hvor du går langs sandet, der var vidne til et af de hårdeste angreb på D-dagen. Din guide vil fortælle dig om den heroiske indsats og de ofre, som de amerikanske styrker gjorde under landgangen. Fra Omaha Beach fortsætter vi til Pointe du Hoc, en klippetop, som var et strategisk mål for US Army Rangers på D-dagen. Vores rejse fører os derefter til den charmerende by Sainte-Mère-Église, der er berømt for historien om faldskærmsudspringeren John Steele, hvis faldskærm klamrede sig til kirketårnet under det luftbårne angreb.

Very interesting, the tour was well organized. Audrey is a fantastic guide. She gives us additional information.
Norman with Noresta Tours was an absolutely fantastic guide during our time in France! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience fun and memorable for the whole family. He was especially wonderful with our kids—patient, personable, and full of great humor that kept everyone entertained. Looking at cows will continue to make me hungry 😜 and my son will likely ask me to ask Norman to send the helicopter whenever he gets tired of walking! He was also extremely accommodating and helpful with our large, heavy luggage, going above and beyond to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Norman’s knowledge, professionalism, warmth, and sense of humor made our tour truly special. We highly recommend Norman and Noresta Tours to anyone visiting France—you’ll be in excellent hands!
Excellent experience. Perfect organization, our guide Audrey speaks very good Italian and explained to us in detail everything we needed to know. Highly recommended experience even for families with children or teenagers
Grazie mille per questa bellissima recensione! È stato un vero piacere ricevervi in Normandia e farvi scoprire alcuni dei suoi luoghi più ricchi di storia. Sono felice che abbiate apprezzato la visita e che l’esperienza sia stata piacevole anche per tutta la famiglia. Un caro saluto! Audrey
We were picked up from our hotel right on time by Dylan, our guide and Andrea, our driver. Dylan was a wealth of knowledge on the subject of WWII and specifically DDay. My husband is a history buff and Dylan was able to match his level of knowledge. We toured Point Du Hoc, Omaha Beach, Utah, Arromanches and were able to walk through some of the remaining German bunkers. It was absolutely fascinating. Of course, we were both incredibly moved by the tour of the American Cemetery. Dylan even had knowledge of individual soldiers. We really enjoyed our time with Dylan and Andrea and highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful review to receive! We’re especially glad Dylan could keep up with your husband’s passion for WWII history and add some lesser-known stories along the way. From the bunkers to the beaches and the American Cemetery, it sounds like you had a truly memorable day with Dylan and Andrea. Thank you for recommending us! Audrey
Well-organized tour, allowing you to see several interesting places of the American landing in Normandy in one day. Interesting and competent guide, who also knows the places very well.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Ce fut un plaisir de vous accompagner à travers ces lieux chargés d’histoire et de partager avec vous ma région. Je suis ravie que l’organisation et les explications vous aient permis de profiter pleinement de cette journée ! Audrey
Met van and guide on the port. Both driver and guide were very professional and friendly. Audrey the guide explained all about D-Day as we walked through the sites, beaches and American Cemetery. Seeing history first hand helped to understand what happened over 70 years ago. The cemetery is now an UNESCO site! I would definitely recommend this exciting family and friends.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It was a pleasure to guide you through these historic places and share the stories behind them. Seeing the beaches and the American Cemetery in person certainly brings history to life. We’re delighted you enjoyed the day and truly appreciate your recommendation! Audrey
Norman was an incredible tour guide, he shared a wealth of knowledge and told many stories to help us truly understand and appreciate all the soldiers and civilians went through with D Day and the days after. Easy transportation and he really tailored the trip to the sites we wanted to spend the most time visiting. Also had a wonderful lunch recommendation part way through the trip. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for this wonderful review! We’re so glad Norman helped bring the history and personal stories of D-Day to life, while also giving you the flexibility to spend more time at the places that mattered most to you. And we’re happy the lunch recommendation was a hit too! We truly appreciate your recommendation Audrey
Excellent tour and terrific tour guide! Norman was very knowledgeable, polite and informative!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Norman. I’ll be sure to share your feedback with him he’ll be very happy to hear it! It was a pleasure having you in Normandy. Audrey
An amazing day spent touring some important D-Day sites in Normandy. Our guide Audrey was great. She picked us up in a comfortable van in the morning at our AirBNB and spent more than 8 hours with us, providing us with plenty of time at each of the locations we visited. She was kind and knowledgable, and the fact that she grew up nearby helped inform her perspective and provided an even stronger connection to the experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing a part of my home and its history. Being from Normandy, these places are very special to me, so I’m always happy to share them with visitors. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience and had a memorable day! Audrey
Our guide was very knowledgeable with facts and stories at the sites and during the drives. She had a book of photos and charts that added visuals to her words. With lunch this is a 7 hour excursion. Very manageable walking even for us old timers. Lots of driving because it covers Omaha to Utah and back from Bayeux. We were experiencing the extreme heat and dryness near Paris. So it was a surprise that the coast was 70 F, 25mph wind with small rain spells. Our guide handled it expertly by doing storytelling in the car for those of us who didn’t want to brave the elements. She led the way through gales and sand for those who wanted the experience.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the tour despite the unpredictable Normandy weather! It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I'm glad the photos and historical documents helped bring the stories to life along the way. Thank you for embracing the adventure : wind, rain, and all ! I hope the memories of the D-Day sites will stay with you for many years to come. It was a pleasure to meet you!
