O guia o levará até o incrível Cemitério Americano e explicará muitos fatos importantes sobre quando foi construído, por que ele está localizado onde está e muitas das histórias dos homens e mulheres que estão enterrados aqui.

Esta pequena cidade normanda estava situada na estrada principal N13 que ligava Cherbourg a Bayeux e Caen. Esta foi a principal rota que alemães e americanos precisariam para mobilizar o equipamento tão necessário durante a batalha da Normandia. Ste Mere Eglise foi um objetivo do 82º pára-quedista aerotransportado e ficou famoso pelo filme The Longest Day. O paraquedista americano John Steele teve a infelicidade de ser pego no campanário da igreja durante a queda.
Enquanto dirigimos, mostraremos alguns dos típicos terrenos cercados pelos quais os aliados tiveram que lutar. Explicaremos como os alemães utilizaram o campo conhecido como “bocage” para sua vantagem defensiva e como os aliados os superaram.
Seu guia fornecerá um relato detalhado dos desembarques da 4ª Divisão de Infantaria americana antes de permitir algum tempo livre para explorar os muitos monumentos que estão localizados aqui.
Faremos uma breve parada para mostrar um dos nossos monumentos favoritos na Normandia. Richard Winters foi escolhido para representar a liderança devido à sua fama mundial na minissérie de TV Band of Brothers.
Dedicaremos algum tempo para explicar o significado desta bela e pequena aldeia. Este era um objetivo da 101ª Aerotransportada para ajudar as forças que desembarcavam na praia de Utah.

Great tour. Thanks Fred. Highly recommend.
Perfect day trip to see the D day beaches and other sites. Charles was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing tour, thanks to our guide, Frederic. As someone who had always wanted to visit Normandy but did not have a week to see everything, the Normandy American D-Day Experience was the perfect choice. It covered all of the major locations, including Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Sainte-Mère-Église, the Airborne Museum, Utah Beach, and more. Frederic's knowledge of the battle, the people involved, and the Normandy region was extraordinary. Standing at these historic locations while hearing him describe the events of D-Day and the stories of the heroes who fought there was both humbling and unforgettable. Seeing the beaches at low tide and realizing how far offshore the landing craft dropped the soldiers gave us a much deeper appreciation of the tremendous challenges the Allied troops faced on June 6, 1944. The Normandy American Cemetery was especially moving. Seeing the rows of graves of so many young men who gave their lives, many on the same day, provided a powerful new perspective on the sacrifices made during the invasion. Sainte-Mère-Église was equally fascinating. Frederic explained how the fire near the church illuminated the area as American airborne troops descended into the town, bringing the events of that night vividly to life. The Airborne Museum is also a must-see while visiting Sainte-Mère-Église. You can certainly visit these sites on your own, but you would miss the depth of historical context, detail, and storytelling that Frederic provided. He transformed what could have been a sightseeing trip into an immersive journey through history. The combination of visiting these important locations and hearing the rich stories behind them offered insights that go far beyond what you typically see in documentaries. Because of Frederic, my wife and I left Normandy with a much deeper understanding of the battle, the people who fought there, and the region itself. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in World War II history.
Had a great time and learned a lot. Charles is up there with one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Would definitely hire Bayeux Shuttle again if I make it back.
Fred was magnificent! He was so well versed about Normandy and was so very knowledgeable as we peppered him with so many questions! Highly recommend booking a Normandy tour with him!!

Our guide Fred was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. He added many points of "hollywood" references for those who may not be fully up to speed with this part of history. With tours of Omaha and Utah beaches, with time to pay honor at the American Cemetery. It truly was a historic way to spend the day in Normandy.

The job of driving while talking was amazing. The roads were narrow and the driver had to maneuver around several large tractors and trucks. Amazing
