TourBookGo verdict

A convenient way to see the main American D-Day sites without hiring a car or arranging each visit separately.

The trip is worthwhile as a first overview of the D-Day beaches. Its main strength is combining several major locations in one day; its main limitation is the short time available at some stops.
