areas at Omaha Beach. This is a complete
tour, giving you

Day " which was the first film about D-Day's
Invasions. This tour will allow you to link the
fictional places you have undoubtedly seen in the film, with
the real life places in history. This is an unbelievable
tour, and an experience of a lifetime. |

for those who have seen Steven Spielberg's famous films " Saving Private
Ryan " and the " Band
of Brothers. " This tour will take you to many

6, 7 and 8 are
intended for visitors having more
time in Normandy for
in-depth exploration and examination of
the Invasion sites.
For those with true passion for study and understanding of
these areas, these Tours not only encompass the three basic
areas covered in the " Classic
Tours " listed above (to be undertaken all in
one day) but they are also much more flexible and custom
tailored to our client's interests and needs within the structure
of the tours. These tours are much slower in pace, allowing
us to cover many areas on foot, with more stops, allowing
for more detailed study and examination of areas of interest.
Visitors taking these tours often link them with our Tour
#1. |
