点评:I came to Normandy for the sixth time and I decided to again one of the best Guild of Battlefield Tour local Guides to maximise my experience. I also decided that rather than rush I would commit a whole week. My Guide, Capt. Adrian Ridley-Jones (Rtd), he was quite simply incredible and the week far exceeded my expectations. Adrian picked me up each morning at 9 AM (0900 hours) and dropped me back to my hotel at approximately 8 PM (2000 hours).
We spent the Day 1 & 2 covering the Dieppe and Bruneval Raids; Day 3 particularly studying Pegasus Bridge, Melville Battery and the British Landing Zones; Day 4 at Arromanches, the British Memorial and the Mulberry Harbour; Day 5 we visited Pony de Hoc, Omaha Beach and Maisy Battery. Day 6 we visited Utah Beach and Sainte Mere Eglise. Adrian brought the history to life through his passion, deep knowledge and detailed explanations of what he showed me. The pace never felt rushed yet we extensively covered the D-Day history. We did have lunch breaks and visits to worthwhile museums each day as well as breaks at many lovely cafes. Adrian is an authority on D-Day and the Normandy Campaign and he brings battlefields, landscapes and memorials to life. I truly had a brilliant experience. Thank you so much Adrian!
翻译:这是我第六次来到诺曼底,为了获得最佳体验,我决定再次聘请战场之旅协会(Guild of Battlefield Tour)的当地优秀导游。我还决定不匆忙赶路,而是安排整整一周的时间。我的导游,退役上尉阿德里安·里德利-琼斯(Adrian Ridley-Jones),简直太棒了,这一周的行程远远超出了我的预期。阿德里安每天早上9点(09:00)来接我,晚上8点左右(20:00)送我回酒店。
第一天和第二天,我们参观了迪耶普和布吕内瓦尔突袭;第三天重点研究了飞马桥、梅尔维尔炮台和英军登陆区;第四天去了阿罗芒什、英国纪念碑和桑树港;第五天参观了波尼德霍克、奥马哈海滩和梅西炮台;第六天参观了犹他海滩和圣梅尔埃格利斯。阿德里安用他饱满的热情、渊博的知识和细致的讲解,让历史鲜活地呈现在我眼前。整个行程节奏并不匆忙,但我们对诺曼底登陆的历史进行了深入的探讨。每天都有午餐休息时间,我们会参观一些值得一去的博物馆,也会在许多舒适的咖啡馆小憩。阿德里安是诺曼底登陆和诺曼底战役方面的权威,他能将战场、风景和纪念碑生动地展现出来。我这次的体验非常棒。非常感谢阿德里安!
