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.

We were picked up from our hotel right on time by Dylan, our guide and Andrea, our driver. Dylan was a wealth of knowledge on the subject of WWII and specifically DDay. My husband is a history buff and Dylan was able to match his level of knowledge. We toured Point Du Hoc, Omaha Beach, Utah, Arromanches and were able to walk through some of the remaining German bunkers. It was absolutely fascinating. Of course, we were both incredibly moved by the tour of the American Cemetery. Dylan even had knowledge of individual soldiers. We really enjoyed our time with Dylan and Andrea and highly recommend this tour.
Well-organized tour, allowing you to see several interesting places of the American landing in Normandy in one day. Interesting and competent guide, who also knows the places very well.
Met van and guide on the port. Both driver and guide were very professional and friendly. Audrey the guide explained all about D-Day as we walked through the sites, beaches and American Cemetery. Seeing history first hand helped to understand what happened over 70 years ago. The cemetery is now an UNESCO site! I would definitely recommend this exciting family and friends.
Norman was an incredible tour guide, he shared a wealth of knowledge and told many stories to help us truly understand and appreciate all the soldiers and civilians went through with D Day and the days after. Easy transportation and he really tailored the trip to the sites we wanted to spend the most time visiting. Also had a wonderful lunch recommendation part way through the trip. Would definitely recommend!
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!
