Itinerario
Su viaje comienza con una recogida sin problemas en Le Havre, donde un guía experimentado le encontrará en el puerto de cruceros o en su hotel. Le Havre, estratégicamente ubicado en la costa de Normandía, jugó un papel crucial durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial como un centro logístico vital para las fuerzas aliadas durante la planificación y ejecución de la invasión del Día D. Al partir de Le Havre, su guía le dará una breve introducción a la importancia de la región y los heroicos esfuerzos de las tropas aliadas que lucharon para liberar a Europa de la ocupación nazi. El viaje al primer destino prepara el escenario para la profunda experiencia histórica que espera en los sitios de aterrizaje del Día D.
En el Cementerio Alemán, una narración distinta de los eventos del Día D le espera. Situado en un entorno tranquilo, este lugar solemne conmemora los sacrificios realizados por todas las partes involucradas en el conflicto. Con filas de lápidas meticulosamente colocadas, se erige como un solemne testimonio del profundo costo de la guerra.
En los escarpados acantilados de Pointe du Hoc, los visitantes son transportados inmediatamente a un momento crucial durante los aterrizajes del Día D de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este prominente promontorio situado entre Utah y la playa de Omaha era un puesto estratégico de defensa Alemán, con posiciones fortificadas, incluidas baterías de artillería que amenazaban a las fuerzas aliadas. El 6 de junio de 1944, los Rangers del Ejército de los Estados Unidos escalaron valientemente estos acantilados de 100 pies bajo intenso fuego enemigo para neutralizar la posición, una hazaña de coraje que jugó un papel crucial en el éxito de la invasión de Normandía. Hoy en día, el sitio es un testimonio de su valentía, con cráteres de bombas, búnkeres destruidos y un monumento en honor a los sacrificios de los Rangers. Mientras caminas entre las ruinas, el peso de la historia es palpable, ofreciendo una reflexión profunda y humilde sobre los acontecimientos monumentales que tuvieron lugar aquí.
Una de las paradas más conmovedoras de este tour es la playa de Omaha, conocida como "Bloody Omaha". Fue uno de los principales puntos de desembarco durante la invasión del Día D de Normandía en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y vio algunos de los combates más intensos de la campaña. Hoy, sirve como un poderoso recordatorio de la valentía y los sacrificios realizados por las fuerzas aliadas durante una de las operaciones militares más significativas de la historia. Los visitantes tendrán la oportunidad de caminar por la playa, reflexionar sobre los eventos que tuvieron lugar allí y presentar sus respetos. En este punto del día, el equipo distribuirá almuerzos para llevar. El equipo ha preparado personalmente un almuerzo casero de baguette para usted, junto con el cual recibirá agua y postre.
Nuestra siguiente parada en este viaje solemne es el Cementerio Americano en Colleville-sur-Mer. Situado en un entorno sereno, este lugar sagrado sirve como el lugar de descanso final para más de 9.000 soldados estadounidenses que hicieron el sacrificio final durante la invasión de Normandía. Caminando entre las filas perfectamente alineadas de cruces blancas y Estrellas de David, la magnitud del sacrificio hecho por los Aliados se hace evidente. Cada marcador representa una vida truncada en la búsqueda de la libertad, un recordatorio del profundo impacto de la guerra. Tómese un momento de reflexión en la Capilla Conmemorativa, un solemne homenaje a los caídos. Aquí, puede presentar sus respetos, ofreciendo gratitud por la valentía y la abnegación mostrada por estos notables individuos. Los jardines meticulosamente cuidados y el ambiente tranquilo crean un espacio para la contemplación y el recuerdo.
Al concluir nuestro memorable viaje, emprenderemos el viaje de regreso a Le Havre, nuestro destino final. Relájese y reflexione sobre las experiencias profundas y los conocimientos históricos adquiridos a lo largo del recorrido, a medida que pasan los pintorescos paisajes de Normandía. Durante el viaje de regreso, tómese un momento para contemplar la importancia de los sitios de desembarco del Día D y la notable valentía de las fuerzas estadounidenses. Deja que los recuerdos de los terrenos sagrados, las historias de heroísmo y el espíritu indomable de aquellos que lucharon por la libertad resuenen dentro de ti.

That’s what our guide, Sam, promised. Did he ever deliver! We traveled with close friends too and what an experience we shared. Yes, somber at times given the events of 82 years ago that took so many lives. But also very informative. The US cemetery with over 9,300 buried there and another 1,000 plus missing touches the heart. Then to stand on the beach to remember quite different scenery to that of 1944 and realise things in Europe could have been different if not for the sacrifice of these men is an experience. On to Point du Hoc where 225 Rangers climbed cliffs to take bunkers. 2 days later only 90 were fit for duty. The landscape including craters is as it was. We went to Le Cambe where over 21,000 German soldiers are buried. Along the way there were ample toilet stops and we were fed and watered including sampling some local cider. The wonderful French countryside was a pleasure to behold as well as the hedge rows which caused so much trouble on D Day. Highly recommended tour!
Brilliant day out, if you are a war historian buff. So much to see and interact with. Sam, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable- not just on the topic of Normandy, but war and politics of the time in general. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Worth 2 hour drive, little less. The Omaha Beach memorial and time spent there was priceless, as well as the stop at the American Cemetary and German Cemetary. Our guide was very informative and kept us on time getting back to ship with plenty of time.
We were originally booked on the larger group tour, but a few days beforehand we received an email offering us a complimentary upgrade due to our group size of six. Our guide, Bert, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about both the history and the tour itself.
Just an all around amazing experience. We learned so much in a non-boring way. Bertrand is passionate and friendly and has a very nice voice. The bus is clean and roomy. Very comfy. Safe driver. Top of the line from start to finish. Plenty of time at stops. Highly recommend
Maja was a phenomenal guide. Her knowledge and fun personality made our tour to Normandy a highlight of our trip. Her use of audio clips of speeches, her "sand map" history lesson, and her insights into the history of the war were so important for our understanding of the causes of the war. Maja is a true gem! We also enjoyed the lunch provided. The food was tasty and plentiful.
Our guide was Sam and our bus driver Bernedette. We were on the Majestic Princess docked at LeHavre. The ship excursion has sold out so we were happy to get this one. Our guide Sam was extremely qualified and knowledgeable about the WW2 beaches and cemeteries. We had plenty of time at each stop and plenty of bathroom breaks. A lunch was included that we enjoyed sitting on Omaha Beach. It was a long emotional day for us....we were back in plenty of time to board our ship as promised. I really enjoyed the historical audio clips that Sam played on the bus. It added greatly to the feeling of what it might have been like to be alive at that time. Thank you Sam
Bertrand was an exceptional tour guide. He provided information on the areas we were going to tour. He set expectations as to how much time we had at each stop and when we would be leaving. Everyone in our group complied!
Ash was our guide and he was SO informative! We had an absolutely amazing day seeing Normandy. He told us all of the details about the events of the war and what led to it…some we knew and some were new to us. You will not want to miss this tour…it is a must!
The itinerary was very interesting and well worth doing. The sites visited were excellent, and the tour itself was organized and ran smoothly. The guide was clearly very knowledgeable and academic, with an impressive understanding of the history and subject matter. However, I found him somewhat indifferent and not especially approachable. I often felt a little uncomfortable asking questions, as he sometimes seemed irritated when I did. Unfortunately, the bus driver was also not particularly friendly and came across as somewhat intimidating, which did not contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. One additional issue involved the restroom on the coach. At the beginning of the tour, we were informed that there was a restroom available on the bus. Based on that information, several of us drank extra water expecting it would be accessible throughout the day. However, the restroom remained locked for the entire tour and could not be used, which became quite uncomfortable during the longer stretches of travel. If the restroom is not intended to be available, it would be better to communicate that upfront so guests can plan accordingly. Overall, the tour itself was very good and the itinerary was excellent. My only criticism relates to the friendliness and approachability of the staff. While the logistics and content were strong, the atmosphere felt less welcoming than I would prefer, so it would not be my first choice among the tours I have taken.
Dear Craig, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and found the tour well organized, as the D-Day sites are truly among the most meaningful locations we visit. We are sorry to learn that some aspects of the experience did not feel as welcoming as you would have liked. While your guide is a highly experienced professional who consistently receives excellent feedback for his knowledge and passion for the subject, we understand that approachability is an important part of the guest experience and appreciate you sharing your perspective. We also appreciate your comments regarding the coach restroom. The restroom is typically reserved for emergencies, as its use can be limited during long journeys on Normandy's narrow and winding roads. However, we understand how this may have been confusing based on the information provided at the start of the tour, and we will review how this is communicated to guests in the future. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another excursion with us in the future. Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio
