Full description

On June 6th, 1944 the largest seaborne invasion ever attempted in history took place. The Allied troops waged an extremely difficult attack on the German forces who were entrenched in bunkers along the coast of Normandy.

More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed or parachuted into France on that day. Though the soldiers knew that they were fighting against the odds they carried on with courage and helped to win the battle for Normandy. During this insightful tour, you will take a guided journey through many of the historical landmarks that are pivotal to this moment in history.

Take a walk on Juno Beach, just like the Canadian troops did in 1944, you can walk on the same sand they did on that very day.

Whilst at Juno Beach, your guide will take you to see Juno Beach Center, the most comprehensive museum about the Canadian landings in Normandy.

Visit the Canadian Cemetery in Beny-sur-Mer. There, stroll through the beautiful cemetery whilst paying your respects to the fallen Canadian soldiers.

Also see "Hell's Corner," the furthest advance inland taken by Canadian troops on D-Day, 5-miles from the city of Caen. You'll also be able to see Abbey d'Ardenne, a HQ point for the nazis.

Whether you’re a great admirer of military history or someone who is just curious about how the events really played out on D-Day, this tour will help you better appreciate the remarkable acts of courage that took place on Juno Beach.

For they are well worth learning about and being remembered by all free folk today.

Absolutely the highlight of our trip (2 adults, 14 & 12 year old boys). We came to honour our family’s D Day sacrifice and were so grateful to have Jonathon be our tour guide. He was knowledgable, patient, supportive and an endless resource. A day we will cherish forever. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, it was perfection.

Our trip was amazing, some how we lucked out and had the tour to our selfs. Our tour guide was fantastic, he bought us umbrella when we were walking in the beach then met us again with are umbrellas the the Juno Beach centre. We was lovely! Super knowledgeable, and passionate! Yeh tour it’s self is set up very beautiful and the meeting location is super easy to find and get too. I would recommend the Blue Fox Company to everyone and this trip is so amazing to do if you are Canadian or not. It helps keep the memories of our fallen alive. 10000/10 would do again!
