Our D-Day Beaches tour explores the historical sites of this operation renowned for so much bravery and sacrifice.
Your tour will cross the channel from Poole to Cherbourg, guided by Eugenie Brooks, an active member of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides and a volunteer speaker and guide for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
A four-day tour of the iconic World War II locations, you will visit Sword and Gold Beaches where British forces came ashore, as well as Juno and Omaha, scene of the heaviest casualties. You will also visit Pegasus bridge, captured by British glider forces in the early hours of D-Day to prevent its destruction by German forces.
While the focus is historical, the tour will also be an enjoyable and relaxed ride, with low daily mileages and plenty of opportunity to unwind and enjoy the culture and cuisine of France. You will be based in Bayeux in a lovely three-star hotel for the three nights in France. Due to the nature of the tour there is an element of group riding from one venue to the next.
