Why Choose D-Day Battle Tours?

D-Day Battle Tours are a British company that can offer you a great variety of Normandy battlezone experiences, different in many respects from the other tours available.

Your briefing will be at 4 Rue Eisenhower, a house in the centre of Sainte Mere Eglise, facing the famous church where John Steele hung from his parachute on the night of 6 June 1944. There, you will receive coffee and a Powerpoint presentation explaining the planning, preparation and execution of Operation Overlord before starting on the tour of your choice.

 
 

Clifford Maughan 82nd AB landed in the garden pictured above that night, and the dramatic events that occurred will be explained to you.

 
 

Visit the themed C–47 Cafe and select a freshly made packed lunch of your choice, at a discount price.

 

Wherever possible, you will be able to enjoy a trip in a genuine WW2 Dodge Command Car. This will give you the unique experience of rolling through the Normandy countryside and will help you to imagine what it must have been like for many GI's in 1944.

 

Handle original equipment and firearms, instead of just looking at them through museum glass.

 

On both the D-Day and By Air - By Land tours, you will travel in a fully insured, air-conditioned minibus, ensuring total comfort and safety.

Dear Ellwood.

Many, many thanks for the D-Day tour that you organized for our family of six. You managed to structure the day, organize the snacks, and keep us moving-through museums, in and out of bunkers, on beaches - without our ever feeling rushed or bored. Your lively commentary, your vast knowledge and your special insights (as a collector and re-enacter) made the tour truly exceptional. It especially thrilled our 11-year-old "Band of Brothers" - obsessed nephew, his almost-as-knowledgeable father and my husband, whose own father played a small part in the Normandy landings. My favorite stop on the tour was your house in Ste. Mere Eglise, and the special story from its garden. No other tour operator can offer THAT! Or the great sandwiches from the C-47 café that we took on the road. Now we all know what a C-47 is, as well as a long list of vintage military hardware.

As you know, we live in France and have lots of American visitors. We will happily recommend that they take one of your battlefield tours too. Ours was unforgettable.

Sincerely yours,
Ann
