MEMORIALS of WORLD WAR II

TOUR DESCRIPTION

Experience It! Normandy, June 6, 1944: the day thousands of allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy.  Otherwise known as D-Day, it is the day that marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War – and the day soldiers from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and beyond sacrificed their lives on the shores of Normandy’s landing beaches.  Embark on a reflective journey through the myriad reminders of this watershed event in world history.  Discover the memorials, museums, and landmarks that stand in dedication to the heroic soldiers.  Visit Omaha, Juno, Sword, and Utah Beach, and pay respect to the more than 9,000 lives honored at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, the largest American cemetery in the region.

ACTIVITY LEVEL

The overall activity level of this tour is a LEVEL 3.  This means you’re an on-the-go traveler.  You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal.  A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you.  Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.).  You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet.

IMPORTANT CONDITIONS

Your price is subject to increase prior to the time you make full payment. Your price is not subject to increase after you make full payment, except for charges resulting from increases in government-imposed taxes or fees. Once deposited, you have 7 days to send us written consumer consent or withdraw consent and receive a full refund. (See registration form for consent.)
