Resplan
Här kommer vi att se många WN: er ((wiederstandnest-menande tyska vapen starka punkter placeringar) från Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes till Vierville. Vi kommer att besöka några av dessa starka poäng, som var de bättre försvarade tyska positionerna längs Omaha. Vi kommer att stanna vid WN 62 och WN 65 i Fox Green och Easy Red sektorerna i den amerikanska landningen, och WN 73 i Dog Green i Vierville. Detta strandattack var ett svårt uppdrag som gavs till US V Corps (General Gerow) vars Force O bestod av den första infanteridivisionen, den 29: e infanteridivisionen, Rangers och flera anslutna enheter.
Denna kyrkogård sträcker sig över 172,5 tunnland och är en av fjorton permanenta amerikanska kyrkogårdar från andra världskriget, byggda på främmande jord. Den innehåller resterna av 9387 tjänstemän och kvinnor som dödades för vår frihet. Den amerikanska kyrkogården i Colleville förmedlar en oförglömlig känsla av ära, fred och lugn.
Beläget på en klippa 8 mil väster om kyrkogården, skapades detta monument av Frankrike för att hedra delar av 2nd Rangers-bataljonen under kommando av LTC James E. RUDDER som skalade 100-fots klippan. Admiral Halls underrättelseansvarare kommenterade: "Det går inte att göra. Tre gamla kvinnor med kvastar kunde stoppa Rangers att skala den klippan!". RUDDER svarade till General BRADLEY: "Sir, min Rangers kan göra jobbet åt dig".

Fantastic guide ! Comfortable van and great itinerary
We experienced a wonderful and memorable half day tour of Omaha Beach. Remy, our guide, was exceptional! He was friendly, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of D-Day in Normandy. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour guide in particular!
It was very well organised and planned visit to Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. Our guide Thierry was friendly, polite and extremely well aware of the history of the area. I highly recommend this to everyone interested in visiting Omaha.
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
