Itinerário
Gostamos de correr dentro do horário e se você não estiver no ponto de partida no horário de embarque anunciado, partiremos. Haverá outras pessoas a bordo que chegaram conforme solicitado e não queremos impactar a experiência delas. Se você chegar atrasado, precisará pegar um táxi às suas próprias custas para acompanhar o passeio. Aconselhamos fortemente que você chegue cedo para o passeio, pois nenhum reembolso será considerado se você perder o serviço.
A praia de Gold foi atacada pelas forças britânicas no Dia D. Seus objetivos eram mover-se para oeste e capturar Arromanches e unir-se às forças americanas que desembarcavam em Omaha. Mova-se para o leste para se unir às forças que desembarcam em Juno Beach e para o interior e capturar a cidade medieval de Bayeux.
Arromanches foi escolhida como local do Porto Artificial Mulberry B; mais conhecido como porto Winston em homenagem a Churchill. Mostraremos os impressionantes vestígios deste incrível projeto de construção e explicaremos o quão significativo isso foi na derrota dos alemães na Normandia.
Esta impressionante posição de bateria de armas é a única posição ao longo da Muralha Atlantik nesta área da França que ainda possui as armas no local. Exploraremos o local juntos e você aprenderá como ele foi construído, como funcionou e, por fim, como foi silenciado.
Uma das famosas baterias de armas alemãs estava localizada em Pointe Du Hoc, na Normandia. Consistindo em 6 posições de armas de longo alcance e muitos outros bunkers de concreto, representava uma ameaça real aos navios aliados no Dia D. Como esta bateria estava bem entre as duas praias de desembarque americanas, os planejadores aliados não tiveram escolha senão eliminar esta posição. Aqui você ouvirá as incríveis histórias de bravura demonstradas pelos Rangers do Exército dos EUA, que tiveram que escalar quase 30 metros de penhascos para destruir as armas.
A 1ª e 29ª Divisões de Infantaria dos EUA, bem como elementos dos Rangers do Exército dos EUA foram incumbidos de abrir 5 pontos de saída para iniciar o movimento para o interior. Ao ouvir as histórias do seu guia, você entenderá porque esta praia é conhecida como "Bloody Omaha". Dependendo da maré, você terá a oportunidade de caminhar na areia e ver a praia na perspectiva dos soldados. Deste ponto de vista, os altos blefes que antes provocavam disparos de metralhadoras são muito intimidantes.
O Cemitério Americano da Normandia cobre 172 acres e é o local de descanso final para muitos milhares de homens e mulheres em serviço. Você terá tempo suficiente para explorar o centro de visitantes antes de refletir no cemitério.
O memorial está localizado perto de Ver-sur-Mer, com vista para a praia de Gold, e contém os nomes de todos os 22.442 soldados que morreram no Dia D e na Batalha da Normandia. Você verá esculturas de três metros de altura de três soldados de infantaria, que pesam mais de uma tonelada cada, criadas pelo escultor 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.!
Hi, Thank you for your kind review! We are very lucky to have Jordan in our team indeed. We hope that through his knowledge you were able to gain a good overview of the events that took place here in Normandy on the 6th of June 1944. Thank you for booking with us! Kind regards, Lucie from Bayeux Shuttle
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.
