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".

Wonderful half day tour the guide had great stories and insights and a book of pictures. Just the right amount of time talking and also with time for us to spend a bit of time at the sites wandering on our own. Highly recommend. I forgot guides name but he was from Belgium. Excellent.
Jean was an excellent guide for our half day tour from Bayeux. He provided excellent background on everything from the lead up to the D-Day, the German defenses, the landing at Omaha beach to the American Cemetery and the rangers operation at Pointe du Hoc. He's very witty as well.
Stephen was GREAT! He was prompt, informative, and really helpful with our questions. It was VERY windy and chilly on the beach July 12 morning. Glad we packed windbreakers. I booked direct with operator OVERLORD TOURS. Very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Jean and Stephan did fabulous providing us with a tour of the cemetery, beach, and cliff. Highly recommend this tour, you learn so much and provide time to explore as well. Must do if visiting Normandy.
my family of four did the half morning and we found it, sadly, mediocre. The tour guide talked for 99% of the tour after promising to give us time to view the location ourselves. We got 5 minutes max to walk around, etc. which was discouraging. He gave us the most time at the American Cementry, which was the location least immersive. The bus was nice and had A/C for the hot day, but the rides were longer than the tour. It was too expensive for a mediocre tour.
We are sorry that our tour did not meet your expectations. The sites are quite spread out, sadly there is nothing we can do about that. This half day tour covers 3 major US sites. In the 4 to 4.5 hours of the tour, you only spend 1h30mins in transit (25mins to Omaha beach – 10mins to American Cemetery – 20 mins to Pointe du Hoc – 35mins back to Bayeux) during this time the guide starts the explanations, the other 2.5 to 3 hours are spent at the sites, which gives you around 45mins at each site. When booking a guided tour, people expect to be given all of the facts and stories about the landings and the guide is also there to answer any questions, depending on the group and the questions the explanations can take longer, however you get a lot more than 5mins free time at each site. You get longer at the American Cemetery by popular demand, as this is where the majority of our guests like to take time to reflect.
Lucas and Steven were absolutely amazing guides for our half day tour of D day. Lucas really knows his history and does a great job of engaging everyone through his storytelling abilities. I especially liked the fact that he had images to go along with the events to help you better understand exactly what was going on. They were amazing and I highly recommend this tour,
We had two great tours. The first was a full-day the 101st Airborne tour with our guide Loic. We viewed sites of significance and were educated by Loic, who had a great understanding of the history of the pre-dawn raid. The second tour was a half day tour of Omaha Beach with our guide Thierry. Again, we saw significant site and got a great education. I think Overlordtours is a great company. I would highly recommend them if going to Normandy. Very professional. Easy to work with. We also went to Mt. San Michel with Loic. It's also and amazing site. Finally, the Normandy countryside is still rather rural and is beautiful
We had an excellent experience with Lucas Ducourtioux. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the World War II history. He grew up in the area and had stories from his family’s experiences which made it even more interesting from a personal perspective. Highly recommend! Thanks Lucas
Louis Boubat was an amazing guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip a pleasure, as well as a learning experience. Louis spoke perfect English and was very passionate about his material. We would recommend the company and Louis ANYTIME!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The gentleman leading the tour did an excellent job and gave us plenty of time to see the sites during the tour.
