Juno Beach Tour

[gazafire]

Hello Everyone, My family and I will be in Normandy via NCL Star on May 5 2023, and would like a tour of WW2 history from a Canadian perspective. Towns liberated by Canada, Juno Beach, cemetary etc. I have spoken to Normandy Sightseeing and they are full for that day and overlordtour. Do you know of anywhere else I can try, or that you have experience with?

Thanks in advance 

Julia & Steve

I only have experience with the ships tour - in 2019 the tour included Juno & Sword beach, the Commonwealth and German cemeteries - and a lunch stop in Crecey [three courses, with paired wines]

 

Is NCL offering a tour? Or is their tour only to Omaha and Utah beaches?

Hi, J & S,

 

Other than Overlord, private D-Day tours which folk on Cruise Critic were impressed with - but  I don't know if they're up to speed on Canadian sights like Juno or Ardenne Abbey are

and

https://www.label-west.com/

 

And even those who've taken ships' tours have been pleased, so don't rule out a ship's tour.

 

Or rent a car or simple car&driver (pref one with passable English). 

The sights have good signage, English-speaking staff, and literature.

And a bit of research in advance would be useful.

Try the roll cal for your cruise & see if any one is doing private tours or see if the ship if doing any tours to the beach.

We are leaning ourselves into renting a car. We want to see a more cdn perspective and travel on our own steam.
