Know before you go: Reduced mobility: I am happy to tour with people with limited capacities. I will adapt the itinerary, the schedule, and access to the different sites. You must be able to get in and out of a car. An option with a guide plus a chauffeur, who will take care of the participant with reduced capacity, is recommended. For special needs, please inquire about a quote.; Child-friendly: This tour suits children over eight years old. My family tours offer activities that can suit any age, including 3D movies, jeep tours, escape games, flight simulators in an actual C47, and day and night reenactments. I also have educational quizzes to enjoy in a fun atmosphere. I would happily give you some tips on arranging your trip during the D-Day Festival. For special needs, please inquire about a quote.; We must ensure their story is passed on from present to future generations. It is impossible to cover the five landing sectors in one day (Omaha, Utah, and Pointe du Hoc for the American sector; Gold and Sword for the British sector; and Juno for the Canadian sector). I will customise a specific tour if you require it.
