Reisroute
U krijgt een goed overzicht van de strandlandingen die plaatsvonden op Omaha Beach op 6 juni 1944. Daarna heeft u ongeveer 15 minuten vrije tijd om over het zand te lopen (afhankelijk van de getijdenomstandigheden) waar Amerikaanse troepen landden op D-dag.
De gids leidt je naar de ongelooflijke Amerikaanse begraafplaats en legt veel belangrijke feiten uit over wanneer het werd gebouwd, waarom het zich bevindt waar het is en veel verhalen over de mannen en vrouwen die hier begraven liggen. Je krijgt ongeveer 45 minuten vrije tijd om op eigen gelegenheid te verkennen.
Je leert over de rol van de Amerikaanse Rangers op D-Day die de kliffen bij de Pointe-Du-Hoc moesten beklimmen om Duitse langeafstandskanonnen tot zwijgen te brengen. Je krijgt voldoende vrije tijd om op eigen gelegenheid te verkennen na de uitleg van je gids.
We stoppen bij Sainte Mere Eglise om het belang van de 82nd Airborne operatie op D-Day uit te leggen. Op deze locatie blijven we 1 uur en 30 minuten. Gedurende deze tijd krijgt u 1 uur vrije tijd voor de lunch. Houd er rekening mee dat de lunch niet bij de prijs van de tour is inbegrepen. Als je wilt, kun je de hele 90 minuten voor je vrije tijd gebruiken. Je kunt een snelle snack pakken en daarna het indrukwekkende Airborne Museum bezoeken. In het hart van Sainte-Mère-Eglise, tegenover de kerk waar John Steele beroemd werd gevangen, hangend aan de klokkentoren aan zijn parachute. Het Airborne Museum laat je de D-Day beleven en begrijpen, van de invasievoorbereidingen in Engeland tot de gevechten voor bevrijding. Stap aan boord van een zweefvliegtuig en een C-47-vliegtuig met geluids- en lichteffecten voor een totale onderdompeling. Ook vergezel je de soldaten van de 82nd en 101st Airborne Division in de beslissende veldslagen van de landing in Normandië dankzij een hyperrealistische museografie.
Je gids geeft je een gedetailleerd verslag van de landingen door de Amerikaanse 4th Infantry Division voordat je wat vrije tijd krijgt om de vele monumenten die zich hier bevinden te verkennen.
Het kleine dorpje Angoville-Au-Plain, gelegen op ongeveer 8 mijl van Carentan, was getuige van zware gevechten tussen de Duitse parachutisten en Amerikaanse parachutisten die vlakbij dropzone D neerdaalden. Na onze 101e Airborne-briefing hoort u het ongelooflijke verhaal van twee Airborne Medicijnen. Kenneth Moore en Robert Wright toonden niet alleen moed maar ook menselijkheid tijdens de wanhopige strijd om dit kleine gebied van Normandië in te nemen.

Our guide (Carole) was absolutely superb: She was knowledgeable and informed and informative. She made the day special
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Carole and hope that through her in-depth knowledge you were able to gain a good overview of the events that took place here in Normandy on the 6th of June 1944. We really appreciate you taking a tour with us. Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
We arranged for a private, guided experience to the American beaches and cemetery and the Airborne Museum. My wife has limited mobility and my daughter and her husband were with us, so we needed a guide who could help us make sure that everyone had a good experience. Our guide, Marine, did just that. We got to the Omaha and Utah beaches, the museum, and the American cemetery, which is the most somber, tragic, beautiful, and compelling place we have ever visited. Marine has a firm and impressive grasp of the background, context, and details around D-Day. She gave us great information and also made sure that we visited places where my wife could walk and also places where the youngsters could leave the old farts behind. She gave us clear directions but also enough flexibility so we could spend more time in some places and less in others. We were very grateful to have arranged the private tour----it would have been much more difficult for us on a larger tour bus.

Our experience with Bayeux Shuttle was exceptional. Booking directly on line was easy and from our first contact the company was responsive and interested in creating the perfect private tour for our family of ten ages 73 to 8. Our all day tour of the WW2 sites was lead by Fred, our outstanding and knowledgeable tour guide. We travelled in a van which comfortably accommodated our party. Fred provided us with information and stories about the sites that made everything come together. As my father was a WW2 US infantryman our guide, Fred, was able to shed light on what my father would have experienced. We never felt rushed and were given ample time at each site. Fred was patience in listening to our questions and answering them thoughtfully. We could not have been more pleased with our tour.

Our guide, Roma, was wonderful - full of information, highly enthusiastic and very accommodating to our needs. We loved the tour and would highly recommend this to anyone. We were so happy to have our personal guide versus being in a large tour group. Well worth the money.

I am so glad we booked this tour. Our guide, Magali, was exceptional and I think we came away with a much better understanding and appreciation of what happened on D-day than we would have on our own.

Pierre was an astounding wealth of information on Normandy and the ticking clock of the dday activities. We —a group of Americans and French left with a deep understanding of the incredible effort by both the Germans and the allies to fight in this special place.

Our tour guides name was Marine and she was fantastic! She took myself and my three teenage boys and an all day excursion where we cover a number of the beaches, the Americancemetery, and a few towns in between. She was very friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable about World War II and Normandy in particular. She even had water for uswhich we had forgotten to bring! We never felt rushed and we had a very good sense of what happened in Normandy. I would highly recommend her as a guide!
