Itinerario
Qui vedremo molti WN - (wiederstandnest - che significa postazioni di punta di armi tedesche) da Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes a Vierville. Visiteremo alcuni di questi punti di forza, che erano le posizioni tedesche meglio difese lungo Omaha. Ci fermeremo a WN 62 e WN 65 nei settori Fox Green e Easy Red dell'atterraggio americano, e WN 73 in Dog Green a Vierville. Questo assalto alla spiaggia fu un compito difficile, dato al Corpo degli Stati Uniti V (generale Gerow) la cui Forza O era composta dalla 1a divisione di fanteria, 29a divisione di fanteria, i Ranger e diverse unità annesse.
Questo cimitero si estende per oltre 172,5 acri ed è uno dei quattordici cimiteri americani permanenti della Seconda Guerra Mondiale costruiti su terra straniera e contiene i resti di 9387 militari e donne uccisi per la nostra libertà. Il cimitero americano di Colleville trasmette un indimenticabile sentimento di onore, pace e serenità.
Situato su una scogliera a 8 miglia a ovest del Cimitero, questo monumento è stato creato dalla Francia per onorare elementi del 2 ° Battaglione dei Rangers sotto il comando dell'LTC James E. RUDDER che scalò la scogliera di 100 piedi. L'ufficiale dei servizi segreti dell'ammiraglio Hall ha osservato: "Non si può fare. Tre donne anziane con scope potrebbero impedire ai Ranger di scalare quella scogliera!". RUDDER rispose al generale BRADLEY: "Signore, i miei Ranger possono fare il lavoro per voi".

Louis Boubat was the best tour guide we had for our entire vacation in France! This was saying a lot considering we have been in and out of most major museums and tourist sites! We are incredibly grateful to have found this tour guide and company! We had a wonderful tour with our family of 5, (3 kids: 14, 12 and 10yo), and he managed to keep them entertained while still educating us on the importance of Omaha Beach, D-Day, American Cemetery and Pointe Du Hoc! Louis was incredibly knowledgeable and was quite passionate about this important event in history. He told great stories about the battle which emphasized its significance and fascinated us. I would hands down strongly recommend Louis Boubat as a tour guide, and I would not see Omaha Beach and these sites without a tour guide. We would have missed most of the important events and sites had we tried to do it alone! Great tour and he really made the history come alive for us! It really made the end of our vacation wonderful! We will be strongly recommending Louis and this tour company to our family and friends! Thank you!
This was the perfect half day trip for my family. Booking was easy through their website and all details were communicated clearly leading up the trip. Pick up was easy. Our guide Thierry, was knowledgeable and engaging. I am a history teacher and I learned so much I can bring to my students. My kids who are 10 and 6 were also welcome and the company and Thierry did everything to also make them welcome. I highly recommend. The half day was perfect and I would consider doing a longer tour when if we return!
My husband and I did the half day Omaha Beach tour with Lucas. He was really excellent. His knowledge, patience and easy going manner made the trip a very enjoyable experience. Well done and thanks for the tip on the Pommeau! Yum!
We loved everything about our tour with Overland! They were able to accommodate us when we asked about availability the next week. They graciously stored our luggage in the van as we arrived in town via train. Remi, our guide, was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. We had a perfect amount of time at each of the stops and his information and great reverence literally made the tour. To be fair the air conditioned bus, during the heat waves, was also quite lovely. From booking to dropping us off back at the train station everything was great. It’s a quick walk into town to meet the tour at the start of you would like. We took the train in from Paris, walked into town with our luggage, ate at a great restaurant near the tour pick up and met up with the tour. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
We (2 couples) took the afternoon tour with Oliver as a guide. We could not be more pleased with the tour. We departed and completed the ~5 hour tour on schedule and in complete comfort in an 8-person bus. Oliver was extremely knowledgeable and a fun guide. This tour is #1 for a reason. We would love to do it again, only we would opt for the full day tour next time.
Great afternoon learning about Dday and WWII. Very interesting and informative. Our guide Jean Dilasser was wonderful!
Loic was an amazing tour guide who made our family and group feel at ease and engaged in the tour. His knowledge of not only the Omaha Beach campaign but that of the region helped us appreciate all the sacrifice of our ancestors and allied partners. Would 100 percent recommend!
Guillaume was simply one of the best guides we’ve ever gone on a tour with. Friendly, capable, so full of knowledge, and adept at sharing his knowledge in an easy to understand and engaging manner. (Even our fifteen-year-old daughter loved the tour and usually nothing impresses her!) The tour itself: we visited the German bunkers at the top of the bluff, an American cemetery, and Omaha beach. At each stop there was a good mix of guided sections and free exploring. The meet up and drop off were smooth and easy, and the van was comfy - all in all a wonderful experience.
It was a really good balanced guide, with lots of details about history and the area. A truly competent and knowledgeable guide.
Guide Jean Dilasser was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He also was very accommodating to our young family. Thank you!
