Cemeteries on our D-Day Tour route(s)

On The American Beaches Tours we always visit Colleville American Cemetery (50 mins).

On specified GROUP Tours and on all PRIVATE Tours covering relevant D-Day sectors (at clients’ behest), a brief stop can also be made enroute at The Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery or Ryes Commonwealth Cemetery to allow clients to pay their respects. We never visit the three cemeteries in a day and the short 15-min pause is allocated as freetime (see below).

Unlike the vast Colleville Cemetery, these small cemeteries are directly accessible from the roadside. Therefore as soon as we park and exit the vehicle we’re already in the cemetery grounds. Although 15 mins may seem short, it is still sufficient time for strolling around the cemetery grounds, paying respects and signing the visitor’s book.

Note: There will be no guide ‘presentations’ at these smaller cemeteries, and clients wishing more time on-site, with a formal brief presentation, are encouraged to consider one of our chauffeur-service customizable tours.

Extended tours (up to 9/10 hrs) with customizable variations (e.g. extra time to visit sites such as The Colleville American Cemetery AND The fantastic new Visitor Centre (renovated and transformed in 2019); the fabulous Overlord Museum & Visitor Centre; Arromanches 360 Cinema and its new Mulberry Harbour Visitor Centre (renovated and reopens in March 2023); The Crisbecq Battery; The incredible Merville Battery; The Atlantic Wall ‘Le Grand Bunker‘ German HQ; Pegasus Bridge & Visitor Centre and much more!

The US and British Airborne landings preceeded the D-Day Infantry Division Landings by 6 hrs. On the Eastern flank, the British 6th Airborne Division, and on the Western flank, the 101st & 82nd US Airborne Divisions (18,000 men in total).

Tour Delta (British Airborne Sector): Is only available via our [C1] or [C2] Transport Solutions service.

Tour Echo (American Airborne Sector): Is only available via our [C1] or [C2] Transport Solutions service.

We strongly urge Airborne enthusiasts to consider booking a full-day US Airborne or full-day British Airborne Tour, using our ‘Transport Solutions‘ service, since it would allow for greater distances and much greater flexibility than is currently available via a semi-fixed tour – E.g. a 10-hr day. There are simply so many variables that it would be impossible to even design an Airborne Tour that would be to every client’s liking. Therefore we will happily customize an Airborne Tour, and work seamlessly with you until you’re satisfied before you book.

The US and British Airborne landings preceeded the D-Day Infantry Division Landings by 6 hrs. On the Eastern flank, the British 6th Airborne Division, and on the Western flank, the 101st & 82nd US Airborne Divisions (18,000 men in total).

Tour Delta (British Airborne Sector): Is only available via our [C1] or [C2] Transport Solutions service.

Tour Echo (American Airborne Sector): Is only available via our [C1] or [C2] Transport Solutions service.

We strongly urge Airborne enthusiasts to consider booking a full-day US Airborne or full-day British Airborne Tour, using our ‘Transport Solutions‘ service, since it would allow for greater distances and much greater flexibility than is currently available via a semi-fixed tour – E.g. a 10-hr day. There are simply so many variables that it would be impossible to even design an Airborne Tour that would be to every client’s liking. Therefore we will happily customize an Airborne Tour, and work seamlessly with you until you’re satisfied before you book.
