Despre activitate
On this full day tour we will visit the Canadian, British and American landing beaches: Juno, Gold and Omaha.
On route, as well as on location, throughout the day you will learn about the planning and preparations involved to get the largest military operation in history organised, which units were involved, what their objectives were, and how victory was achieved.
I will share with you stories of the many men and women who fought to free Europe of Nazi occupation.
At each of these site there will be some free time for you to take photos, use restrooms or grab a coffee.

On top of 100ft high cliffs, the Germans had established a long-range gun battery. It was the task of US Army Rangers to assault this position, scale the cliffs and destroy the German guns. This site has been preserved as a battlefield and you will be able to go into the many German bunkers, see the hundreds of bomb craters, and of course the cliffs the Rangers scaled.
