Bayeux to Mont-St-Michel - page 2

It is Dean's aim to give you a tour you will never forget. He will guide you through the events of D-Day, focusing on the American Sectors and how they fit in with Overlord generally. He will discuss of the role of the Airborne Pathfinders, the Airborne Paratroopers, the gliders and visit many of the key battlefields of the Utah-Cotentin area. After a superb picnic lunch (provided), he will show you how Rudder's Rangers pulled off their amazing feat at Pointe du Hoc and then steer you through the complexities of Bloody Omaha, from the slaughterhouse to success. He will also provide you with an very personalised experience based upon stories of individual soldiers and accounts related by veterans he has had the honour to meet over the years. The tour will culminate with an poignant visit to the U.S. Military Cemetery above Omaha Beach including the close of day ceremony accompanied by Taps. Dean will provide you with both an operational and tactical understanding of Operation Overlord.

More than 20 years of experience. I'm a native of Normandy and grew up here, I met a lot of veterans, and even after so many years, my passion is still intact.
