Ci saranno altri a bordo che sono arrivati come richiesto e non vogliamo influenzare la loro esperienza. Se arrivi tardi, dovrai prendere un taxi a tue spese per raggiungere il tour. Ti consigliamo vivamente di arrivare in anticipo per il tour poiché non sarà previsto alcun rimborso se perdi il servizio.
Gold Beach è stata attaccata dalle forze britanniche durante il D-Day. I loro obiettivi erano spostarsi a ovest e catturare Arromanches e collegarsi con le forze americane che sbarcavano a Omaha. Dirigiti verso est per unirti alle forze che sbarcano a Juno Beach e spostati nell'entroterra per catturare la città medievale di Bayeux.
Arromanches è stata scelta come location per il porto artificiale di Mulberry B; meglio conosciuto come Port Winston da Churchill. Mostreremo gli impressionanti resti di questo straordinario progetto di costruzione e spiegheremo quanto sia stato significativo nella sconfitta dei tedeschi in Normandia.
Questa impressionante posizione di batterie di cannoni è l'unica posizione lungo il Muro Atlantik in questa zona della Francia che ha ancora i cannoni in situ. Esploreremo insieme il sito e imparerai come è stato costruito, come funzionava e, infine, come è stato messo a tacere.
Una delle famose batterie di cannoni tedesche si trovava a Pointe Du Hoc in Normandia. Composto da 6 postazioni di cannoni a lungo raggio e molti altri bunker di cemento, rappresentava una vera minaccia per le navi alleate durante il D-Day. Poiché questa batteria si trovava proprio tra le due spiagge dello sbarco americano, i pianificatori alleati non avevano altra scelta che eliminare questa posizione. Qui ascolterai le incredibili storie di coraggio mostrate dai ranger dell'esercito americano che hanno dovuto scalare quasi 100 piedi di scogliere per distruggere le armi.
La 1a e la 29a divisione di fanteria statunitense, nonché elementi dei Rangers dell'esercito americano, furono incaricati di aprire 5 punti di uscita per avviare il movimento nell'entroterra. Quando ascolterai le storie della tua guida, capirai perché questa spiaggia è conosciuta come "Bloody Omaha". A seconda della marea, avrai l'opportunità di camminare sulla sabbia e vedere la spiaggia dal punto di vista dei soldati. Da questo punto di vista gli alti promontori che un tempo facevano sparare mitragliatrici, incutono molta paura.
Il cimitero americano della Normandia copre 172 acri ed è il luogo di riposo finale di molte migliaia di uomini e donne in servizio. Avrai tempo sufficiente per esplorare il centro visitatori prima di prenderti del tempo per riflettere nel cimitero.
Il memoriale si trova vicino a Ver-sur-Mer, che si affaccia sulla Gold Beach, e contiene i nomi di tutti i 22.442 soldati morti durante il D-Day e la battaglia di Normandia. Vedrai sculture alte nove piedi di tre fanti in carica, che pesano più di una tonnellata ciascuno, create dallo scultore David Williams-Ellis.

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.!

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.
