Coach tour specialist Leger Holidays has partnered with Pathé UK to launch a bespoke ‘The Great Escaper’ tour, visiting locations featured in the eagerly-awaited Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson film.
Leger Shearings Groups CEO Liam Race said: “I’m delighted to have been approached by Pathé UK to work on their upcoming film, The Great Escaper. Our battlefield tours continue to be extremely popular, and we’re certain the film will inspire viewers to embark on their own journeys of discovery to the battlefields, which is why we’ve launched a bespoke tour which follows in Bernie’s footsteps.”
The five-day 'Great Escaper' tour kicks off in Portsmouth, visiting the D-Day Story, before guests head over the Channel to France accompanied by a specialist battlefield tour guide. During their time in France, guests will visit historic sites connected to the D-Day landings, including the Sword, Juno, Gold and Omaha Beaches.
The tour starts from £649 per person with coach travel from the UK (with a choice of regional departures), hotel stays in Portsmouth and Normandy, continental breakfast, and all visits.
