Rondleiding van Utah Beach naar Omaha Beach met onderdompeling in een jeep
Beschrijving
De ontdekkingsdag is anders dan de andere: hij omvat een dag aan boord van een busje en een meeslepende ervaring van een uur in een Willys-jeep. Ontdek aan boord van een comfortabel busje met 9 zitplaatsen de invasiestranden van Normandië met een lokale gids. Van Utah Beach tot de begraafplaats van Colleville-sur-Mer, via de gebieden waar de Amerikaanse parachutisten landden: het is een echte reis terug in de tijd om deze historische en ontroerende plekken te ontdekken en tegelijkertijd veel persoonlijke anekdotes te ontvangen. van Normandische soldaten en burgers. Het beste deel van dit bezoek? We raden u aan om een uur lang het comfort van het busje te verlaten en het Normandische platteland en de landingszones van de parachutisten van de 101e luchtlandingsdivisie te ontdekken aan boord van een echte Willys-jeep uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog! Wat is er mooier dan de motor van de jeep te laten draaien om de schaduwrijke paden en soms weinig bekende verhalen in het hart van het Normandische platteland te ontdekken?

Great experience! Highly recommend - we did a lot in one day. Got picked up at our hotel in Bayeaux, visited Omaha, Utah, American cemetery and drove around little villages as we reflected on what life may have been like.
Outstanding tour. Recommend highly.
It is a full day of all the most important sites on the area! The guide, Noé was excellent! He was so enthusiastic and told many interesting stories! He was so kind when I left my phone on the back of the van. He waited for us at an exit until we were able to reach him. This was after a very long day for him. Thank you!! The jeep ride was a lot of fun and a very different experience. The driver’s were personable and knowledgeable!! Highly try the tour!!
This is an absolute must do. We had a private guide in our jeep (family of 5) and he was so wonderful. Took us to all the sites, spent the whole day with us, teaching us and showing us so many amazing details and facts. You could tell this was his passion and it showed in the way he does the tour. This day was a highlight in our 10 day trip abroad. Highly recommend.
Hello Trevor, We truly appreciate your feedback and are so happy to hear that you loved the tour! Flavie and Thomas
We had a great time with Raphaelle. The tour was fantastic and very informative! I'd add that I was concerned the jeep portion would be kitschy but it wasn't at all. Instead it allowed us to see areas we wouldn't have been able to otherwise and to really get a feel for the environment. Would highly recommend!
It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Raphaëlle. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!
Yes, every penny! I have never has such a fact filled, interesting, and overall satisfying experience. Your knowledge and presentations were interesting, informative, as all three of you (Noe, Tom, and Flavie) were absolutely fantastic and not sure anyone could have accommodated us any better. We apologize for the interrupting wth our many question and thank you for you kind patience when we did. The Jeep experience was incredible and exceeded our expectations. Thank you again and best wishes to all 3 of you. Warm regards, Tom, Nick, Nick Jr., and John
We’re grateful for your review and excited to know you had a wonderful time on the tour with us ! Thank you very much !! Flavie, Thomas, Noé and Raphaëlle.
Cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour company, and our guide Noe. The day was from 9-5:30. We opted for the jeep tour (after lunch) and got to meet one of the owners, Flavie. Her enthusiasm and passion were contagious. The jeep tour also took you places that the van couldn't go. There were 4 of us, and it was a private tour. And Noe - a walking history lesson with a great sense of humor and a hundred anecdotes that made the history come alive. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. You won't regret it.
Thanks a lot for your encouraging words! We're glad the tour left you with great memories.
Raphaelle was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and her enjoyment of her work and of sharing her knowledge was obvious. Similarly, Flavie (jeep excursion) knew her facts and told us numerous anecdotes that broadened our understanding of the landings. Raphaelle gave us a wonderful day, with great insight into the battle for Normandy.
Thank you for your kind recommendation! We're so happy you enjoyed discovering the experience with us.
Our family had the most incredible experience with Normandy Discovery Tours. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Rafaelle, was outstanding — not only deeply knowledgeable about the history of WWII, but also wonderfully attentive to our kids, who had an endless stream of questions. She answered every one with patience, enthusiasm, and true passion for the subject. Her ability to bring history to life made the entire day unforgettable. We traveled in a beautiful private van that made the journey comfortable and easy, and one of the highlights was the WWII jeep ride — an amazing, unique experience that the kids (and adults!) absolutely loved. The itinerary was perfectly balanced: visiting both Utah and Omaha Beaches, the moving American Cemetery, charming local churches, and even stopping for a delicious lunch. Every stop was meaningful and gave us a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made here. It’s clear Rafaelle loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every detail of the tour. We left not only better informed but truly touched by the experience. I cannot recommend Normandy Discovery Tours enough — especially for families. This was a day we’ll remember for a lifetime, and we feel so grateful we chose this company.
Wow what a nice comment !! Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon.
Great experience. Immersion with jeeps (very fun), fun, fun, great knowledge of the subject, it is clear that this work they are passionate about, it impresses to be in the historical sites and remember the facts. There were six of us, with four kids from 9 to 24, and they had a great time and learned a lot. Congratulations.
Thank you for your generous comments. We're delighted you had such an enjoyable tour.
