Itinerário
Aqui vamos ver muitos WN - (posições de pontos fortes de armas alemãs que significam menos) de Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes a Vierville. Visitaremos alguns desses pontos fortes, que foram as posições alemãs mais bem defendidas ao longo de Omaha. Pararemos no WN 62 e WN 65 nos setores Fox Green e Easy Red do desembarque americano, e no WN 73 no Dog Green em Vierville. Este assalto à praia foi uma tarefa difícil, dada ao US V Corps (General Gerow), cuja Força O era composta pela 1ª Divisão de Infantaria, 29ª Divisão de Infantaria, Rangers e várias Unidades anexas.
Este cemitério, com mais de 172,5 acres, é um dos quatorze cemitérios permanentes da Segunda Guerra Mundial americanos, construídos em solo estrangeiro. Contém os restos mortais de 9387 militares e mulheres mortas por nossa liberdade. O cemitério americano de Colleville transmite um sentimento inesquecível de honra, paz e serenidade.
Localizado em um penhasco a 13 quilômetros a oeste do cemitério, este monumento foi criado pela França para homenagear elementos do 2º Batalhão de Rangers sob o comando do LTC James E. RUDDER, que escalou o penhasco de 30 metros. O oficial de inteligência do almirante Hall observou: "Isso não pode ser feito. Três velhas com vassouras podem impedir que os Rangers escalem o penhasco!". RUDDER respondeu ao general BRADLEY: "Senhor, meus Rangers podem fazer o trabalho por você".

Guide Jean Dilasser was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He also was very accommodating to our young family. Thank you!
Great afternoon touring the cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and Omaha Beach with Jean! Pickup was smooth and well-organized, time at each location was sufficient, and Jean provided great information along the way! The use of binders at each stop to help provide context with maps and personal stories of soldiers added good value.
Our guide was engaging. Very well-prepared, he explained throughout the duration of the tour without ever stopping. An unforgettable experience. We were the first and only Italians. I recommend it to everyone!!!!!
Lucas was an excellent tour guide. For a 27 year old he was a wealth of knowledge. He made our tour a very amazing experience.
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, Lucas was welcoming, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was patient with every question our group had and explained the history and significance of each site in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand. We learned so much that we never would have discovered on our own. He had lots of visual resources that helped illustrate things. We don’t usually book guided tours because we prefer exploring independently, but this tour completely changed our perspective. It was absolutely worth it. The historical context and expert insight added so much to the experience that we know we would have missed otherwise. We highly recommend this tour, and if you’re fortunate enough to have Lucas as your guide, you’ll be in excellent hands.
Excellent and informative tour! Antoine provides a ton of information and is one of the best guides I have ever had. His connection to the area made the day that much more special and his respect for all that happened in D-Day was evident. He delivered a ton of information with humor too. Can’t recommend him more!
We took Overlord Tours’ half-day option focusing on Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, and it was the perfect way to experience these historic D-Day sites without committing to a full day. The tour was exceptionally well-run, respectful, and packed with insight. Our guides Lucas and Stephane were fantastic once again. They delivered a perfect mix of historical detail, personal stories, and tactical explanations that made the events of June 6, 1944, feel immediate and real. Lucas’s engaging storytelling and Stephane’s thoughtful answers to questions kept the whole group captivated. They handled the emotional weight of the sites with great care and respect. The itinerary was ideal for a half-day: we explored the dramatic cliffs and German bunkers at Pointe du Hoc (incredible to see the scale of the Ranger assault up close), spent meaningful time walking Omaha Beach itself, and concluded at the beautiful and solemn American Cemetery. Standing among the thousands of white crosses overlooking the beach was deeply moving and brought everything into perspective. Transportation was comfortable, timing was spot-on, and the smaller group allowed for a more personal experience. This half-day format is excellent if you want quality time at the most impactful sites without fatigue. Lucas and Stephane, thank you for making this such a memorable and informative visit. We left with a profound appreciation for the bravery shown on D-Day. Overlord Tours nailed it — highly recommend this half-day tour to anyone visiting Normandy
We did the tour on 6/22. It was absolutely amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide, Louis, was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history surrounding these events/places.
Our guide Thierry was very kind and had great knowledge of events in WWII. We were very comfortable in the modern clean vehicle used with Air Conditioning on a very hot day. We were offered cold drinks as well. The taps ceremony (lowering of the American flag) at 4 pm was very poignant and we were grateful for the respect given our military heroes.
