It was an amazing tour of the beaches where the US troops landed, the German bunkers, the American cemetery including the 4 pm Taps and flag lowering ceremony. The best part of the tour for me personally was seeing the landing spot where my father landed 4 days after DDay. He told me some stories about his time in the Army, but seeing it first hand was emotional. The museum was very interesting and we had plenty of time to walk through it. The guide was fantastic and told many stories about the area and the history. We had lunch at a great restaurant and then had a short stop at a cider tasting place. All-in-all it was one of the best tours I've taken.
