Overlordtour Normandy

Our family recently completed a full day private tour with Overlordtour. Our guide was Rethro Lemieux.

For me the day spent in Normandy was the highlight of our trip to France. I have always been interested in the D-Day invasion and the incredible courage and sacrifice of all the men and women who were part of this battle. Rethro planned a full day for us based upon the specific sites we wanted to visit, including the American cemetery. We found Rethro to be a highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who expertly led us through the invasion beaches and other sites. Rethro taught us much about the invasion plans and objectives, the German defense plan, and the intense struggles of that day, much of what I had never before understood. To see the breath and distance covered by the five beach landings is amazing.

I highly recommend Overlordtour for any visit to the Normandy invasion beaches and the American cemetery.

Thanks, Don. We just booked the full day Omaha / Utah tour for our trip this September. From what I've seen, everyone speaks highly of Overlord. We can't wait!

Which beaches did you visit? I hope it wasn’t just the 2 American beaches. To have a complete understanding of D-Day (Operation Neptune) and the invasion of Normandy in general you should visit the 3 other beaches: Gold (British), Sword (British) and Juno (Canadian).
