Places visited will include OMAHA BEACH, UTAH BEACH, ARROMANCHES, PEGASUS BRIDGE,
US WAR CEMETERY, POINTE DU HOC, ST. MERE EGLISE, and many more. Our hotel is situated in charming and historic BAYEUX, one of the few towns in the region that was spared destruction in the fighting. You will have time to visit its fine NORMAN CATHEDRAL and, of course, the world famous BAYEUX TAPESTRY, depicting the history of the Norman conquest of England, and dating from the 11th century.
Also included is a half day tour through the charming Norman countryside to visit the beautiful island of MONT ST. MICHEL with its magnificent Benedictine Monastery.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS  TOUR...
This was a five star trip!
Loved the music, radio tapes and videos that helped to
take
us back in time and added colour as we rode
along.
Maureen Mollay from US
Embassy
The enormity of the invasion came
to life as we walked the beaches of
Normandy,
Climbed around in bunkers and experienced – first hand –
the way so
many fought for our freedom. Well
done Gemmaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Normandy
trip. Ashley was a fabulous guide and a wealth
of
WWII detailed facts. Our 11 year old son rates him
‘15’ on a scale of 1 – 10!!
Fabulous coach

We both very much enjoyed our trip
to Normandy. We knew Ed would but I wasn’t
so sure I’d like 4 days of war stuff, however the
guide told such good stories it was
great. Thanks to
you we are returning to London a bit tired but full of a
better
appreciation of the
war.

The Normandy tour was much more
than I expected. The tour guide was
extremely
knowledgeable of many details regarding people and
places pertaining
to
D-Day.
