This small Norman town was situated on the main N13 road that linked Cherbourg to Bayeux and Caen. This was the main route that both Germans and Americans would need to mobilize much needed equipment during the battle of Normandy. Ste Mere Eglise was an objective for 82nd Airborne Paratroopers and has been made famous by the movie, The Longest Day. American Paratrooper John Steele was unfortunate to get caught on the church steeple during the drop.
As we drive, we will show you some of the typical hedgerow terrain that the allies had to battle through. We will explain how the Germans utilized the countryside known as the "bocage" to their defensive advantage and how the allies overcame them.
Your guide will give you a detailed account of the landings by the American 4th Infantry Division before allowing you some free time to explore the many monuments that are located here.
We will stop briefly to show you one of our favorite's monuments in Normandy. Richard Winters was chosen to represent leadership due to his worldwide fame from the TV mini-series, Band of Brothers.
We will take time to explain the significance of this beautiful small village. This was an objective for the 101st Airborne to help the forces landing on Utah Beach.

I highly recommend this tour. The group was small enough to have personal interaction with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Charles. I felt that I came away with more than just a list of sights seen but a knowledge of the D-day operation that I had not had before. The cemetery memorial is very moving.

This was one truly excellent experience. Our van driver and guide, Jordan, was very polite, engaging and truly knowledgeable. He gave us an easy-to-understand overview of the whole strategy of Operation Overlord, as well as several historical anecdotes pertaining to the various stops we made along the tour. Grazzi, Jordan!

The driver (Charles) was well-versed in WWII history. He knew soldier numbers, movement, and battle outcomes. My uncle landed on Utah Beach on D Day and made it out of WWII alive. Another traveler’s relative also landed on Utah Beach in D Day. Charles went out of his way to obtain information regarding this individual and my own uncle. He was able to drive on the same pathway as the man did in 1944. Overall, a great value.

We did the Band of Brothers tour with Robin, it was excellent. He is an incredibly knowledgeable guide and able to answer so many of the questions which our group had. The pacing of the full-day tour was good and the details provided during the trip and at each stop helped paint a picture of the D-Day landing. We would recommend this tour. Merci Robin!

Remy was an extremely knowledgeable guide for our tour to Omaha and Utah beaches. He was an amazing story teller and made the battles come alive. My father was in D Day on June 7th as part of the battle. The experience was extremely meaningful to me. Remy honored the sacrifices of the brave men and told their story in great detail. I highly recommend.
Jordan was the most friendly and informative tour guide! The information was suitable for knowledgeable and less familiar participants, and the stories he provided were amazing. The bus was comfortable and easy to find and the lunch stop was also lovely. Highly recommend!
