Reiseverlauf
Wir fahren gerne pünktlich und wenn Sie nicht bis zur angegebenen Einstiegszeit am Abfahrtsort sind, fahren wir ab. Es werden weitere Personen an Bord sein, die wie gewünscht angekommen sind, und wir möchten ihr Erlebnis nicht beeinträchtigen. Wenn Sie zu spät ankommen, müssen Sie auf eigene Kosten ein Taxi nehmen, um die Tour nachzuholen. Wir empfehlen Ihnen dringend, frühzeitig zur Tour anzureisen, da bei versäumtem Service keine Rückerstattung möglich ist.
Gold Beach wurde am D-Day von britischen Streitkräften angegriffen. Ihr Ziel war es, nach Westen vorzudringen, Arromanches einzunehmen und sich mit den in Omaha landenden amerikanischen Streitkräften zu verbinden. Bewegen Sie sich nach Osten, um sich mit den am Juno Beach landenden Truppen zu verbinden, landeinwärts vorzudringen und die mittelalterliche Stadt Bayeux einzunehmen.
Arromanches wurde als Standort für den Mulberry B Artifical Harbour ausgewählt; besser bekannt als Port Winston nach Churchill. Wir zeigen die beeindruckenden Überreste dieses erstaunlichen Bauprojekts und erklären, wie wichtig es für den Sieg über die Deutschen in der Normandie war.
Diese beeindruckende Geschützbatterieposition ist die einzige Position entlang des Atlantikwalls in dieser Region Frankreichs, die noch über Geschütze verfügt. Gemeinsam erkunden wir das Gelände und Sie erfahren, wie es gebaut wurde, wie es funktionierte und wie es schließlich zum Schweigen gebracht wurde.
Eine der berühmtesten deutschen Geschützbatterien befand sich an der Pointe du Hoc in der Normandie. Bestehend aus sechs Langstreckengeschützstellungen und vielen anderen Betonbunkern stellte es am D-Day eine echte Bedrohung für die alliierte Schifffahrt dar. Da sich diese Batterie genau zwischen den beiden amerikanischen Landungsstränden befand, blieb den alliierten Planern keine andere Wahl, als diese Position außer Gefecht zu setzen. Hier hören Sie die unglaublichen Geschichten über den Mut der Rangers der US-Armee, die fast 30 Meter hohe Klippen erklimmen mussten, um die Waffen zu zerstören.
Die 1. US-Infanteriedivision und die 29. US-Infanteriedivision sowie Teile der US Army Rangers wurden damit beauftragt, fünf Ausstiegspunkte zu erschließen, um die Bewegung ins Landesinnere zu starten. Wenn Sie die Geschichten Ihres Reiseführers hören, werden Sie verstehen, warum dieser Strand als „Bloody Omaha“ bekannt ist. Je nach Gezeiten haben Sie die Möglichkeit, auf dem Sand spazieren zu gehen und den Strand aus der Soldatenperspektive zu betrachten. Aus dieser Sicht wirken die hohen Klippen, auf denen einst Maschinengewehre feuerten, sehr einschüchternd.
Der Normandy American Cemetery erstreckt sich über 172 Hektar und ist die letzte Ruhestätte für viele tausend Soldaten. Sie haben ausreichend Zeit, das Besucherzentrum zu erkunden, bevor Sie sich die Zeit nehmen, auf dem Friedhof nachzudenken.
Das Denkmal befindet sich in der Nähe von Ver-sur-Mer mit Blick auf den Gold Beach und enthält die Namen aller 22.442 Soldaten, die am D-Day und in der Schlacht um die Normandie starben. Sie werden eine 2,70 Meter hohe Skulptur von drei angreifenden Infanteristen sehen, die jeweils über eine Tonne wiegen und vom Bildhauer David Williams-Ellis geschaffen wurden.

Our guide Frédéric was a wealth of knowledge about the D-Day landings and presented the information in an interesting and engaging manner. He clearly has invested much time and energy in creating a thorough program about a complex subject. Thank you Frédéric! The Airborne Museum at Sainte-Mere-Eglise has 5 buildings of mezmering exhibits. It coincides with your lunch break. I suggest you grab a quick bite to eat on the go and immediately start exploring these fantastic exhibits!

Mathieu was a wonderful tour guide. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area and the specific events of WW II that impacted the region. He answered everyone's questions and also informed the group about other events as we drove from site to site. The price was well worth it. The small group tour was much better than a larger one. Good pace of walking. We covered a lot of ground in one full day.

Bayeux Shuttle are a great company to deal with. They made the whole experience easy, interesting and enjoyable. Before the trip they responded quickly to my queries (thank-you Lucie) and they delivered a brilliant one day tour for myself and my American cousin. We actually had four tour guides on our trip(long, but good story). They all displayed great historical knowledge and wanted to make the whole day as interactive and interesting as possible. My cousin is a European history major, he had lots of questions and they were all answered comprehensively 😊. I would definitely recommend using this company and this particular tour was brilliant. A big thank-you to Morgane (lead) and Mathieu, Romarine and Marie, who all took turns at leading at certain times.
Hi Richard, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review!

We really appreciate you taking a tour with us. Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
Tour carried out by Marie was excellent and more than what we had hoped for and read in previous reviews. She was knowledgeable, interactive, and told us little things that you would not find in textbooks or google. She adapted to our range of questions with many examples and historical gems. I would recommend Bayeux shuttle and in particular Marie to be our guide in this area. She even recommended a good gluten free restaurant that my wife enjoyed which shows her knowledge of what is available in the area.

We took the full day D-day tour. I’m so glad that we took a tour instead of attempting to see it ourselves. There’s so much more value/information/sites when you take the tour. Jordan is incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us nonstop, fascinating strategic information as well as some individual stories of heroism, and was able to answer all of my random questions. Free time for lunch in st mere Église was an added bonus. The amount of time at each stop was perfect. He kept us on schedule. Pick up/drop off was at our hotel (Villa Lara, also highly recommend). Nothing negative to say, highly recommend.!
Hi, Thank you for your kind review! We are very lucky to have Jordan in our team indeed.

Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
Outstanding tour. Included Omaha and Utah beaches, American Cemetery, Point du Hoc, St Mere Eglise, Battle of Normandy Museum and roadside markers/memorials. Our guide, Matthew was extremely knowledgeable.

This was a fantastic full day tour. Great to have a small tour of just eight people. The tour guide Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and Entertaining. Would highly recommend this tour.
We enjoyed an invigorating and educational experience while touring six significant D-Day sights on the coast of Normandy. Our host had extensive knowledge to compliment his great sense of humor. Everyone appreciated his work to make our day memorable & fun.

This was a great tour for people of all WWII knowledge levels. I am not a big history buff. I might know slightly more than the average American about the Normandy invasion because my husband is so into WWII, but not much more than average. My husband has a degree in history with a special interest in WWII. He wasn’t sure about doing a tour because he felt like he could guide a tour. But we both really enjoyed it. All the little stories and pointing out the little things like artillery and certain areas that things happened cannot be learned from history books and classes. Having an expert on location is a completely different experience. My husband learned a lot. It was also great to have a local who could drive us right down to a less touristy area on Omaha Beach. Walking on Omaha was one thing my husband really wanted to do because he had an uncle who landed there. We were on a long stretch of beach with maybe 6 other people. It was definitely a hidden gem. And our guide, Rethro, was great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining.
