Itinerario
In questo piccolo villaggio, la minuscola chiesa è stata utilizzata come postazione di primo soccorso da due medici del 501 ° Reggimento di fanteria paracadutisti, 101a divisione aviotrasportata, che è riuscita a salvare la vita di molti soldati feriti, americani e tedeschi.
La prima città in Francia per essere liberata dalle truppe americane nella seconda guerra mondiale. Questo strategico crocevia fu conquistato dal 505 ° reggimento di fanteria paracadutisti della 82a divisione aviotrasportata "All American". Preso nelle prime ore del mattino del 6 giugno e anche raffigurato nel film Il giorno più lungo. Ascolta le storie degli uomini coinvolti, tra cui John Steele che è rimasto intrappolato nel campanile della città.
Dei due settori americani del D-Day, gli sbarchi a Utah Beach hanno avuto il maggior successo. Qui sentirai parlare dei vari fattori che hanno contribuito al successo americano, e avrai l'opportunità di vedere monumenti dedicati alle unità coinvolte negli sbarchi il 6 giugno, così come i bunker tedeschi.
Sopra le scogliere alte 100 piedi, i tedeschi avevano stabilito una batteria di cannoni a lungo raggio. Era compito degli US Army Rangers assaltare questa posizione, scalare le scogliere e distruggere i cannoni tedeschi. Questo sito è stato preservato come campo di battaglia e potrai andare nei numerosi bunker tedeschi, vedere le centinaia di crateri di bombe e, naturalmente, le scogliere che i Rangers hanno scalato.
Nel secondo settore americano, la spiaggia di Omaha, visiteremo la parte della spiaggia che è stata raffigurata nelle scene di apertura del film Salvate il soldato Ryan: qui è dove sono state subite le perdite più pesanti del D-Day. Sentirai delle unità coinvolte, scoprirai quante cose possono e sono andate storte qui, ma anche come l'iniziativa, la determinazione e la leadership hanno portato al successo.
L'ultima dimora di 9380 militari americani e donne della campagna della Normandia, situata su un'altura affacciata sul lato orientale della spiaggia di Omaha. Copre più di 170 acri ed è gestito dalla American Battle Monuments Commission. Qui avrai l'opportunità di rendere omaggio e assistere all'abbassamento delle bandiere.

A second-to-none experience. Mike was accommodating, knowledgable, and passionate about sharing the D-day experience with us. Would we book another tour with Mike? Without question. Don't look any further -- Mike is the guide to give you the best experience.
Mike was kind, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He designed our day specifically around our interests. We cannot recommend him enough - 5 stars!
My children book this tour for my 60th birthday present. Needless to say this was the best birthday present ever. Allied Victor Tours was amazing, and our tour Guide Mike van den Dobbelsteen was awesome. His personality and knowledge made this trip so memorable. If you ever get the opportunity to visit the Normandy area I would strongly encourage you to reach out and book a tour and request Mike.
I am thrilled that you had a wonderful birthday present. Thank you so very much for writing such a nice review - it is thanks to people like you that makes this 'job' just the best in the world. Thank you and best wishes, Mike
Our family of 6 embarked on a Normandy tour which included 2 infant twins with car seats. We were so lucky to have found Allied tours through a friend who previously used him. Mike the driver was so knowledgeable and helpful. He accommodated us to various locations and his knowledge made our day so interesting. We felt very safe with him at all times. I highly recommend Allied if you are looking for a tour guide/driver. Mike will make your day so interesting and you will learn so much more culture. And his recommendations were perfect! Thank you Mike for a very memorable and safe day!
Hi Anita, Wow thank you so much for that incredible review - it means a lot to me that you had such a wonderful experience! It was an absolute joy to meet your family and be your guide. Warm regards, Mike
I met Mike at the train station in Bayeux France with three members of my family. Mike was waiting for us with a big smile and new vehicle with plenty of room. I knew as soon as we met Mike that we were going to have a great tour. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Due to Mikes in-depth knowledge of the invasion beaches , I would recommend doing your homework and prepare questions for him because he will surely be able to answer them in detail. It is obvious Mike enjoys touring people and makes the entire experience enjoyable. By taking a private tour you will avoid the tour bus crowds. I can’t say enough good about Allied Victory Tours and Mike. I highly recommend them and have done so for friends and other family members. October was a perfect time of the year. The setting of the beaches and Allied Cemetery was impressive and respectful.
WOW! I am so happy that you had a fantastic experience - it was a joy to meet you and be your guide! All the very best from a piping hot Normandy! Mike
Professional, personable, persistent, prepared, pleasant. And that’s just the P’s! Mike made the battle come alive, with full grasp of the details as to the triumphs, tribulations, and sacrifices that both sides encountered. We spent a full day concentrating on Utah and Omaha, along with the two airborne divisions. While the weather was not ideal, it did not impact on our experience which exceeded expectations. Hard to imagine anyone better than Mike!
It is so wonderful to read that you had a wonderful experience - it means the world to me! Thank you for writing this great review. All the very best, Mike
Mike was excellent, very knowledgeable of the history and made our half day tour a true delight. We wish we booked the whole day tour because just seeing the highlights left me with the desire to learn more.
Mike was a superb guide. Very knowledgeable, articulate, and very personable. He made the history come alive. I would highly recommend him!!
Mike was an outstanding tour guide. He was able to give us information on which trains to book to and from Paris and picked us up as scheduled at the train station. We are big history buffs and Mike was able to answer any questions we had. His knowledge was incredible. Highly recommend his tour.
Mike was a tremendous guide—fluent speaker, answered every question, shaped the tour to meet our goals, and made this tour a wonderful experience. My highest recommendation for Allied Victory Tours!
