Follow in the footsteps of the 29th Infantry Division from Omaha Beach to their most important objective in the first phase of Operation Overlord: the crossroads town of Saint Lô. Throughout the day (on route, as well as on location) you will learn about the various units of the 29th Division, their roles, objectives, battles, and achievements in the largest military operation in history. The route follows all three regiments of the division, from the beach through the marshes and the dreaded hedgerow countryside.

Mike was an excellent guide and made for a truly memorable and knowledgable D-Day experience. I was honored to get to retrace the footsteps of my grandfather on D-Day and the weeks and battle he fought aftterwords. He has a wealth of expertise and provided an excellent overall tour experience. Highly recommend!!

This was a very special time for my extended family due to our uncle's D-Day experiences. Mike not only led the tour for ~ 50 people but he made all the arrangements to make this trip perfect for all our needs. We cannot thank him enough! The William Joseph McGowan family and friends

Reviewed by Mark and Linda Watson [email protected] If you have wanted to go to Normandy now is the time. Go Now! There are no crowds and France has an excellent Covid program in place. Mike@alliedvictorytours is an excellent tour guide. This review has 2 parts describing the wonderful visit we had with Mike and Deborah van den Dobbelsteen. The private guide through the American zone Normandy landings was excellent. Mike tailored the experience to match my interest in following the 29th Infantry Regiment from the landing on Omaha Beach through the bocage obstacles to St Lô. Also 4th Div at Utah Beach including 82nd and 101st landing sites and memorials. He was well informed about every significant and out of the way site and included narrative describing the actions and terrain we visited. This included specific German bunkers and 29th individual and company fighting locations on the ground. We visited many of the unit action memorials and associated churches. Mike provided a full service tour including a comfortable van. You will be very happy at the end of your visit to the American sectors when you choose Mike as your guide. Part two is our stay at the vintage B&B operated by Mike and his wife Deborah. From the moment you are greeted by Deborah at the doorway you are invited into their world of life in WW2. You will not find more gracious hosts to provide for your comfort and food. My wife cannot say enough to describe the joy she felt in their remodeled stone farmhouse and out buildings including garden, museum and a dedicated memorial site. The bedrooms and bathrooms were appointed with modern features but the highlight was the decor dedicated to the soldiers who specifically fought around their property which borders on the famous Elle river crossing. Deborah tailored our wonderful breakfast and lunch to meet our schedule and dietary needs. The fresh eggs from a neighbor added a special treat. The B&B is located centrally between the beaches and St Lô. You will be as happy with a night or longer stay as we were in this lovely family B&B. Regards - Mark & Linda Watson
