Omaha and Band Of Brothers Full Day Tour
1 day
Full Day
About this activity
RDV time and place are 8.20am Place de Québec, in the center of Bayeux. Therefore you can only join this tour if you are spending the night before in Bayeux or vicinity.
This tour will take you to the main sites of the Omaha sector in the morning and then will follow the footsteps of the famous Band of Brothers in the afternoon. Since this tour is based on the heroic actions of “Easy Company”, highlighted in Stephen Ambrose’s book and later the TV mini-series, it is recommended to watch the DVD episodes 1 and 2 or read about its main participants before joining this tour. True fans will be delighted to be taken onto the sites where the action actually took place! This tour is interesting because it takes you both to the D-Day beachfront and inland airborne sector.
MORNING: Longues-sur-Mer Battery – Omaha Beach – American Cemetery of Colleville – Pointe du Hoc.
AFTERNOON: Sainte-Mère-Eglise – Sainte-Mère-Eglise Museum – Crash of the C47 # 66 at Beuzeville-au-Plain – Marmion’s farm – Brecourt Manor – Angoville-au-Plain – Drop Zone D – Carentan

Did the tour yesterday with Charles, our guide. It was an amazing experience, full of information presented across multiple splendid sites of Normandy. Plenty of insides for the ones that read the book or saw the miniseries. It is actually amazing to see the places where the events took place. Big thanks to Charles who was a great tour guide during all 9 hours of the trip. Fully recommended!
This was an excellent tour. Thomas our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
