Omaha eftermiddag halvdags tur til at besøge landingsområderne på Omaha Beach
Beskrivelse
Denne tur er ideel for dem, der kommer til Bayeux om morgenen og ønsker at besøge den middelalderlige by Bayeux, før de tager på en guidet tur til D-Day-stederne. Også at blive nydt af dem, der allerede i Bayeux selvfølgelig! Begyndende ved den berygtede Omaha Beach, videre til den amerikanske kirkegård og derefter til Pointe du Hoc. Fra den tyske våbenstyrke "WN 62" med sin uforglemmelige udsigt over Easy og Fox sektorer på Omaha Beach, og strandudgangen "D1" i Vierville sur Mer, vil vi tage dig tilbage 80 år og genopleve vores befrierers historie. Dette er en komplet tur, der tager dig fra Omaha Beach til Pointe du Hoc i et fire timers tursegment. Når du vælger denne tur, vil du uden tvivl forstå, hvorfor Omaha er et så mystisk sted i Invasion landinger, og vil blive husket i evighed som "Bloody Omaha" den 6. juni 1944. Halvdags eftermiddagsture afgår fra Place de Quebec, centrum af Bayeux, Normandiet (fra kl. 1.45 til 17.30/6pm)– I nærheden af Tapestry

Rejseplan
Her vil vi se mange WN'er - (wiederstandnest-betyder tyske våben stærke punktplaceringer) fra Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes til Vierville. Vi vil besøge nogle af disse stærke punkter, som var de bedre forsvarede tyske positioner langs Omaha. Vi stopper ved WN 62 og WN 65 i Fox Green og Easy Red sektorer i den amerikanske landing, og WN 73 i Dog Green ved Vierville. Dette strandangreb var en vanskelig opgave, der blev givet til US V Corps (General Gerow), hvis styrke O var sammensat af 1. infanteridivision, 29. infanteridivision, Rangers og flere tilknyttede enheder.
Denne kirkegård strækker sig over 172,5 hektar og er en af fjorten permanente amerikanske 2. verdenskrig kirkegårde bygget på fremmed jord. Den indeholder resterne af 9387 servicemænd og kvinder dræbt for vores frihed. Den amerikanske kirkegård i Colleville formidler en uforglemmelig følelse af ære, fred og ro.
Beliggende på en klippe 8 mil vest for kirkegården blev dette monument oprettet af Frankrig til ære af elementer fra 2. Rangers bataljon under kommando af LTC James E. RUDDER, der skalerede 100-fods klippen. Admiral Halls efterretningsoffiser bemærkede: "Det kan ikke gøres. Tre gamle kvinder med kvinder kunne stoppe Rangers med at skalere den klippe!". RUDDER svarede til General BRADLEY: "Sir, mine Rangers kan gøre jobbet for dig".

We did the tour on 6/22. It was absolutely amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide, Louis, was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history surrounding these events/places.
Our guide Thierry was very kind and had great knowledge of events in WWII. We were very comfortable in the modern clean vehicle used with Air Conditioning on a very hot day. We were offered cold drinks as well. The taps ceremony (lowering of the American flag) at 4 pm was very poignant and we were grateful for the respect given our military heroes.
This is a fantastic tour, if you really want to double into the area and the American impact on the war, this is a must see! Our guide was top-notch.
Our guide jean told us a great deals of stories regarding D-day Which were very informative and educational. I loved it
We toured as a group of ten (6 adults and 4 kids) and covered Pont du Hoc, Omaha, and the American Cemetery. Theo did an amazing job of sharing just the right level of detail and balancing the adults and kids attention spans. Highly recommended!
Lucas was an amazing guide! His knowledge of the area and events were top notch. He was eager to help me learn more about the Battle of the Hedges in St. Lo Normandy where my grandfather died. Outstanding trip!
My other tour operator (Ophorus) cancelled my tour 2 hours before it was to begin, so with the help of my hotel, I was able to call Overlord Tours and the very kind agent was able to book me on the last seat of a tour that was to leave at the same time. Lucas was a wonderful guide. We went first to Pointe du Hoc where the weather matched that of D-Day with wind and rain. Lucas did a great job filling in the details of the story. Next stop, Omaha Beach. Lucas took us to the sand (it was close to low tide, as it was that day) and once again told us the stories to make the 300 yard dash come to life. The final stop was the American Cemetery where Lucas timed it so we arrived at 4:00 PM as they were playing Taps and lowering the flag. All in all , an amazing experience. Highly reccomend!
Our friends and my husband and I were really looking forward to this tour as I had a father that was wounded in the battle of St Lo Our driver/guide was Jack and was amazing. He had so much knowledge of everything it was amazing. He even told me a little of the battle of St Lo when I explained about my dad being wounded there. Jack was courteous and tried to take everyone’s questions and concerns. And he had a great sense of humor. He made the trip a wonderful and enlightening experience.
For a 1/2 day tour, it was full of excellent information, stories, and key sites for Americans visiting the Normandy D-day beaches. Remy was a superb guide and a wonderful story teller who is well-versed in the history of this event. I highly recommend this tour and Remy if you get a chance to take the tour with him.
