Private Ganztagestour ab Bayeux
Beschreibung
Die beste Möglichkeit, sich einen Überblick über die amerikanische Beteiligung am D-Day zu verschaffen, ist die Buchung einer privaten Tour. Mit vielen Einzelheiten von unseren erfahrenen Guides. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, jeden Aspekt des Opfers der amerikanischen Soldaten am 6. Juni 1944 kennenzulernen. Wir werden die amerikanische Seeoperation abdecken, indem wir die beiden Strände besuchen, an denen US-Soldaten gelandet sind, Omaha Beach und Utah Beach, sowie den deutschen Stützpunkt Pointe du Hoc, der von den US Army Rangers angegriffen wurde. Wir werden auch die Orte der US-Luftlandeoperation besuchen, darunter ihren berühmtesten Ort, Sainte-Mère-Eglise, wo in der Nacht des 5. Juni 1944 eine schreckliche Schlacht stattfand. Schließlich haben wir die Möglichkeit, den Tausenden von Männern, die ihr Leben für die Befreiung Europas gaben, unseren Respekt zu erweisen, indem wir den amerikanischen Friedhof in der Normandie besuchen.

Reiseverlauf
Sie beginnen den Tag am Omaha Beach, wo die 1. und 29. US-Infanteriedivision gelandet sind. Unsere Guides erklären Ihnen mithilfe von Karten und Bildern alle Einzelheiten des „blutigen Omaha“. Vom Aufbau der deutschen Verteidigungsanlagen bis hin zur Notlage der ersten Wellen erzählen wir Ihnen die Geschichten dieser tapferen GIs, die den Strand eroberten.
Unser Guide zeigt Ihnen den amerikanischen Friedhof hinter Omaha Beach. Hier ruhen über 9.000 amerikanische Soldaten. Dieser heilige Ort, der von der American Battle Monuments Commission verwaltet wird, ist die meistbesuchte D-Day-Stätte in der Normandie.
Sie werden die einzigartige Stätte von Pointe du Hoc entdecken. Folgen Sie den Spuren des 2. US-Ranger-Bataillons unter der Führung des berühmten Oberstleutnants James E. Rudder, der die Klippen erklomm, um eine deutsche Geschützbatterie zu zerstören, die die gesamte US-Landeoperation bedrohte. Bombenkrater, Bunker, Unterstände – kommen Sie und sehen Sie sich dieses herausragende Schlachtfeld an.
Im Herzen der Airborne-Operation besuchen Sie die kleine Stadt Sainte-Mere-Eglise. Es war die erste Stadt, die von den amerikanischen Fallschirmjägern eingenommen wurde. Einer von ihnen blieb in dieser Nacht auf dem Kirchturm stecken. Ihr Reiseleiter wird Ihnen die Einzelheiten dieser entscheidenden Operation und viele Geschichten dieser tapferen Männer erzählen.
Am Utah Beach wird Ihnen Ihr Guide erzählen, wie die 4. Infanteriedivision die deutschen Verteidigungsanlagen erfolgreich durchbrach. Die erste Angriffswelle wurde von Brigadegeneral Theodore Roosevelt Jr. angeführt, der um 6:30 Uhr an diesem Strand landete. Er wurde schließlich mit der Medal of Honor ausgezeichnet.
Unser Guide bringt Sie zur Kirche von Angoville-au-Plain. Am D-Day richteten zwei Sanitäter in dieser Kirche eine Hilfsstation ein. Zwei Tage lang behandelten sie etwa 80 verwundete Soldaten. Entdecken Sie ihre Heldentat, eine bewegende Geschichte über Menschlichkeit und Einsatz auf dem Schlachtfeld.

This was our second visit to Normandy, but our first using Viator. Fantastic experience for two reasons: Bryce, our guide, was amazing. He was warm and engaging. He narrated the “D Day story” clearly and accurately- with lots of facts and color that our “Band Of Brothers” obsessed grandson wanted. It was a challenging day because of heavy rain, but he worked around that and followed an itinerary we specifically wanted. I also very much appreciated the Vistor service as they answered every question I had regarding this tricky booking (I also have had great service from Viator on another reservation change later in this trip.
Yannick is a superb storyteller! He was recommended to us quite enthusiastically from a client, and we booked him to do full day tours of the Normandy D-Day landings, and of Mont St Michelle. He is an expert on the history of the area, and his passion and enthusiasm are evident in all of the details that he brought to life through his storytelling. Practically speaking, we had a group of 18 people to manage and he assisted us with every detail, from restaurant reservations for our lunch during the tour, to helping manage the flow of the group in crowded areas. He even arranged a special walk through the bay of Mont St Michelle with a park ranger- quite a highlight. Best of all, Yannick was so warm, engaging and entertaining that the long bus rides flew by. When we bring our next group to this area, we’ll definitely do more with Yannick and HQ Tours
This tour was amazing!! Yannick is an incredible guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend and would absolutely book another tour with HQ!!
Outstanding tour with Paul. He provided very knowledgeable information with interesting tidbits. He had wonderful maps and pictures of various sites and people that enhanced the experience. It was an all day experience that was enlightening despite the emotional and very sad details of what took place. He provided amble time to have lunch and to tour the museum. We started in Omaha beach and ended in Utah beach with a secret destination that was very moving. Paul was very passionate about the area which enhanced our experience. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic day! We booked the private full day British sector tour for our Dad’s 60th birthday. The aim was to follow in the footsteps of his Dad, who landed on Sword Beach. HQ massively surpassed our expectations. Mickael went above and beyond, doing loads of research into our granddad in advance so he could personalise the day. His expertise was seriously impressive, and on top of that, he’s great company to spend the day with. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
Fabulous historic knowledge, friemdly!
I highly recommend HQ Company Tours. They made the entire process easy, were professional, courteous, and had excellent communication skills. Our guide Yannick delivered an incredible experience and made our visit to Normandy extra special. The knowledge and passion he posses are contagious and he was such a joy to be around. We learned so much from him and appreciated his willingness to answer questions and customize our experience. We booked a two day tour (D-Day Normandy Beaches and Mont Saint Michel) and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a must do if you want to visit Normandy. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you very much for this kind review. We will let Yannick know that you had a terrific time with him. We are pleased to see that you have enjoyed your experience at Mont Saint Michel and discovering the D Day sites. Hope to see you soon again!
A private best of D-day tour for seven. From the moment Gwen picked us up to the time he dropped us off, he shared a wealth of knowledge about WWII, the allies, the Germans, the battles and the people. Made it come alive for all of us. One of the best tours any of us have ever taken. Highly recommend if you want to learn about the events. Gwen also steered us to good restaurants and places to visit for the rest of our stay in Normandy.
From the moment Gwen picked us up, he shared interesting stories about the region and the different locations we visited. He connected the dots, answered all of our questions, helped really get a feel for WWII, d-day and beyond. Even after 8 hours, we were still intently listening to his stories. SO knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for more. Gwen also provided us with great recommendations for other Normandy areas to visit and restaurants to try out.
Yannick was an amazing guide for our private tour. He was knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating the entire time we were with him. I cannot describe in words how amazing this tour was. Day one was Monet and day two was the Normandy beach tour. I highly recommend the private tour with Yannick. He even made the tour desirable for our 7 year old daughter. You have to book with him if you want the complete experience.
