De eerste stad in Frankrijk die in WO II door Amerikaanse troepen werd bevrijd. Deze strategische kruispuntstad werd veroverd door het 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment van de "All American" 82nd Airborne Division. Vroeg in de ochtend van 6 juni en ook afgebeeld in de film The Longest Day. Hoor de verhalen van de betrokken mannen, inclusief John Steele die betrapt werd op de stadskernleeuw.
45 min Gratis toegangVan de twee Amerikaanse sectoren op D-Day waren de landingen op Utah Beach het meest succesvol. Hier zul je horen over de verschillende factoren die hebben bijgedragen aan het Amerikaanse succes, en je zult de mogelijkheid hebben om monumenten te zien gewijd aan de eenheden die betrokken zijn bij de landingen op 6 juni, evenals Duitse bunkers.
45 min Toegang niet inbegrepenOp de top van 100ft hoge kliffen hadden de Duitsers een langeafstandsgeschutbatterij opgericht. Het was de taak van de US Army Rangers om deze positie aan te vallen, de kliffen te schalen en de Duitse kanonnen te vernietigen. Deze site is bewaard gebleven als een slagveld en je zult in staat zijn om de vele Duitse bunkers in te gaan, de honderden bomkraters te zien, en natuurlijk de kliffen die de Rangers hebben geschaald.

Very thorough history of the allied invasion at Normandy . Our tour guide Mike was the MOST knowledgeable source of any tour we have ever booked !!! He picked us up right at designated time and location in Cherbourg, clean spacious van with speaker for those in back seats We continued on an 8 hour day tour of Normandy, 5 complete stops. And also lunch and restroom breaks Cannot thank Mike enough for his complete attention to all details all day long . He is a wealth of information . Never has any other guide been as passionate and energetic about his subject ! He loves his job !! We could have spent another day easily with him if possible. Thank you Mike
This was the highlight of our entire trip. Mike is an outstanding tour guide and we both learned a lot about the events prior to, during, and after D-day.
Mike is an awesome guide who really went the extra mile to ensure my family had a wonderful experience following in the footsteps of my wife's grandfather. His research before the day and the planned itinerary were spot on. His pacing and delivery were just right for the wide range of ages in the group. I highly recommend his services to anyone planning a trip to this area!
Mike was fantastic. His knowledge of the area and all things WWII in the Normandy area was impressive. We had a private tour which allowed Mike to show us areas that you wouldn't get to see in a large group tour. He was able to keep my 13 year old daughter interested - which says a lot!!
My private nine-hour tour with Mike was easily the highlight of my three-week trip to France in November. Mike had conducted research on my father's regiment in the U.S. 4th Division before I arrived in Bayeux and was able to identify their movements. Those men landed on Utah Beach on June 6 and fought their way north to Cherbourg during the next few weeks to open a deep-water port for the Allies. Mike and I drove from village to village where my dad would have fought. All the while Mike was teaching me about the battle for Normandy, the villages we were passing through, the hedgerows, the Allied and German strategies, and so much more. This personalization brought a lump to my throat on several occasions and deepened my understanding and love for my father. A truly magnificent day. You MUST go with Mike if you're touring the invasion beaches.
We were a family of 14 traveling to Normandy for the first time. We booked Allied Victory Tours based on the reviews and could not have been happier with the decision! Mike has an incredible depth of knowledge and detail, and helps paint a picture of the events of D-Day with some truly unique stories about individual heroes who you may not have heard about. Because it was a private tour, he took us to several small villages between Saint Mere Eglise and the American landing beaches. These villages had small chapels and other memorials for soldiers who haven’t shown up in the history books, but are very much remembered by the locals there. He was also quite keen about what he “didn’t” show us, i.e. landmarks on Point du Hoc that are well known, but surprisingly not very relevant to the actual history. It was a wonderful way to immerse ourselves in the history of D-Day. I highly recommend Mike and Allied Victory Tours!
Mike is awesome! I am a D-Day nerd and my wife has only general knowledge of the subject. Mike tailored a tour that satisfied both of our levels of interest. He was knowledgable, pleasant, and polite. I without limitation recommend Mike for any D-Day tour!
A spectacular tour with an equally great guide. We were in Europe for 3 weeks and had multiple guides scheduled though other sources. They were Ok, but Mike blew our previous touring away. I am quite familiar with the history of the allied invasion. At least I thought I was. The info that I was able to learn and absorb via Mike’s knowledge and experience was remarkable. Simply stated; this tour was the highlight of our trip.
