Normandie : Tour privé Plages du Débarquement secteur Américain
Description
Notre premier arrêt sera au cimetière américain de Colleville-sur-Mer, un hommage poignant aux soldats alliés qui ont perdu la vie. Ici, vous aurez l’occasion de rendre hommage et d’en apprendre davantage sur l’importance de ce lieu solennel. Ensuite, nous nous rendrons à Omaha Beach, où vous vous promènerez le long des sables qui ont été témoins de l’un des assauts les plus difficiles du jour J. Votre guide vous racontera les efforts héroïques et les sacrifices consentis par les forces américaines lors du débarquement. D’Omaha Beach, nous continuerons vers la Pointe du Hoc, un endroit au sommet d’une falaise qui était un objectif stratégique pour les Rangers de l’armée américaine le jour J. Notre périple nous mènera ensuite dans la charmante ville de Sainte-Mère-Église, célèbre pour l’histoire du parachutiste John Steele dont le parachute s’est accroché au clocher de l’église lors de l’assaut aéroporté.

Excellent tour and terrific tour guide! Norman was very knowledgeable, polite and informative!
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.
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 It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I'm glad the photos and historical documents helped bring the stories to life along the way.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!
Took a family trip and selected this tour since it was private. We had some delays in our travel and the tour company was able to make accommodations and we are very appreciative of that. We had an awesome guide (Norman) who had extensive knowledge of history and the region. He was easy to listen to and we could tell he really enjoyed his job. We can’t thank him enough for making this visit very enjoyable especially for my dad. Norman also lived close by and gave us many other recommendations. My dad left his phone in the tour van and Norman met us up afterwards and dropped off the phone at our rental. I highly recommend this tour, ask for Norman!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad we could adjust your tour after your travel delays and that everything worked out. It’s wonderful to hear that Norman helped make the day especially memorable for your dad. His passion for Normandy and its history is something our guests often appreciate, and we're delighted he could also help with the unexpected phone mishap! Thank you for your recommendation. It was a pleasure to welcome your family, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Normandy.
The one day 'D-Day Tours of Normandy' conducted by Malcolm Clough was very special. It was my husband's birthday present to me - a very special present as at 67 years old I was desperate to pay homage to my late father - Major William G Denney landing on Sword Beach on 6th June 1944. Malcolm made me feel as though he knew my father, knew what he did and where he went!! The whole day's tour was beautifully structured to really show me what my father did and what he went through. It was personal and sensitive. I cannot express how much I appreciated that one day tour. Malcolm made me feel that my father was there with me, in front of me. Malcolm was interested and interesting. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He provided me with the best birthday experience ever and have enriched my memories of my late father! THANK YOU MALCOLM.
Our tour guide, Peter, was fantastic. We traveled with my 11 yo grandson who is a WWII history buff. Peter focused his conversation to James and kept the adults engaged as well. He was super accommodating to my Veteran adult children, one of which is a parachuter. We saw the beaches and more. Highly recommend! The experience was so much more than I expected.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to hear that Peter was able to connect with every member of your family, especially your grandson. Making history come alive while adapting the tour to each guest's interests is something we truly value. We're so pleased the day exceeded your expectations. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again on a future visit to Normandy!
We actually did two tours with Noresta. We spent July 1 with Norman at the US d-day sites and July 2nd with Peter at Mont at Michel. The vehicle and the service was 1st class. Both tour guides were informative. Norman had a tough job covering Utah and Omaha beaches. Super well done and I think we just scratched the surface of the history, equipment, etc. he knows. Peter did a great job getting us ready for Mont St Michel. I would book Noresta again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to welcome you for both tours. We're delighted that you enjoyed your time with Norman exploring the D-Day sites and with Peter at Mont Saint-Michel. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them, they'll truly appreciate it. Thank you again for choosing Noresta. We hope to welcome you back to Normandy one day!
Prepare for an emotional and respectful all day tour with a knowledgeable guide. The tour was definitely worth the investment.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm really happy to hear that your day with Peter was such a meaningful experience. Visiting the D-Day sites is always emotional, and it means a lot to us that you felt the tour was worth it. I'll make sure Peter sees your message it will make his day! Thank you again for choosing Noresta, and I hope you left Normandy with memories that will stay with you for a long time.
Norman was awesome! Easy going, very knowledgeable and approachable. He provided lots of interesting information yet balanced time for self exploration. I would highly recommend this tour and Norman. It still seems like a second full day tour of other sites wouldn’t complete the wealth of history this area provides.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with Norman. He'll be delighted to know that his passion for Normandy's history came through and that you appreciated having time to explore the sites at your own pace. Thank you again for choosing Noresta, and we wish you all the best for your future travels!
Excellent tour of the American WW2 sites in Normandy. Our driver Sebastien and guide Audrey were very friendly and informative. Ty e teens with us learned a lot and the adults were very pleased.
Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm really happy to hear that both the teens and the adults enjoyed the day. Making history engaging for everyone, whatever their age, is always something we strive for. Sébastien and I had a great time showing you around, and it was a pleasure meeting your family. We hope you'll take home some wonderful memories of Normandy! Warm regards, Audrey
