No documentary can compare to standing in front of the bomb crater at Pointe du Hoc, feeling the wind from the English Channel. Get a firsthand look at the terrifying German pillboxes that the Allied forces faced. As we drive through the Normandy countryside, you'll understand how brave were soldiers who fought here. The unchanged terrain and white headstones of the American cemetery tell the stories of the young soldiers who paid the ultimate price for the liberation of Normandy. My tour is not just about providing facts and stories like any tour guide. I strive to make it special by using a variety of techniques that engage different senses and inspire you to connect with the places and people we visit. I believe in giving you the opportunity to actively engage with the history and construct your own meanings through multi-way dialogue.
*LA POINTE DU HOC. You will have the opportunity to see the bomb craters, 100-foot cliff, and German pillboxes. You will also be able to go inside the observation post to gain a unique perspective on the events of D-Day. *OMAHA BEACH. We stop at the most challenging exit taken by the soldiers on D-Day. You'll have a chance to see several German positions and, if the tides permit, walk on the very sand where the soldiers landed. *LUNCH (opt) *AMERICAN CEMETERY. We pay our respects and see moving memorials, while also getting a unique perspective of Omaha Beach from the German point of view. *SAINT MERE EGLISE. We will park in the historical town center, which was one of the first villages to be liberated on D-Day. Here, you will see the famous church from the movie "The Longest Day" and a dummy representing John Steel. *UTAH BEACH. We'll compare the terrain, German positions, and Allied army actions to Omaha Beach. You'll see a brand-new Andrew Higgins monument with a replica of LCVP and a Sherman tank.
