Dynamo Private Tour

Dunkerque

Follow in the footsteps of the heroes of 1940. Take a tour—in your own car or one of ours—of the must-see sites of Operation Dynamo. From May 26 to June 4, 1940, Dunkirk was the scene of the largest military evacuation in history: 338,000 Allied soldiers managed to escape from the “Dunkirk encampment” aboard a fleet of more than 800 ships.Our guide will show you the sites in the Dunkirk area that commemorate the Battle of Dunkirk and Operation Dynamo. The battle, which left a deep mark on our region, was long considered a debacle best forgotten. In recent years, international experts have agreed on the significance of the event, now recognized as one of the turning points of World War II. It is no coincidence that Christopher Nolan, the director of “Dunkirk”—in theaters July 19—chose the following subtitle: “The event that shaped our world.”The tour itinerary includes: the port (the East Jetty and the jetty’s end), downtown Dunkirk, the beach, a stop by the “Princess Elizabeth,” the British Memorial, and the British cemetery... We’ll also be able to show you a few locations where the film “Dunkirk” was shot. Price: Package starting at 150 €
