Last week I visited this area for the first time, together with four friends (one a fellow GSer).
My friend came across an ExPat ex serviceman, via the internet, who does battlefields guided tours for bikers.
He usually only caters for small groups of a couple but made an exception in our case.
We met at Pegasus Bridge at 10am where, after the obligatory coffee, he explained the events of the first assault on 5th/6th June.
From there we went to various locations, some to give an overview of the geography andmilitary objectives, others the more obvious such as the D Day beaches and milatary cemetarys.
He will adapt the itinerary to individual areas of interest.
I highly recommend this guy as he has a wealth of knowledge, nothing was too much trouble, and was prepared to continue as long as there was enough daylight to make it viable.
I am reticent to quote how much he charges as every tour is different but will say that our tour was fantastic value.
Contact details.
