Explore WWII History and the Normandy Landings

Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, a local expert in D-Day history, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of the Allied landings.
Meet Your Expert D-Day Guide in Bayeux

After a short introduction, board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan or minibus and set off through the beautiful Normandy countryside. An onboard P/A system ensures clear, engaging commentary throughout the drive.
Experience the Highlights of Normandy’s D-Day Sites
Pointe du Hoc (or Longues-sur-Mer Battery)
Visit (when accessible) the legendary Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Army Rangers scaled towering cliffs under enemy fire on June 6, 1944. Your guide will recount the daring mission and its lasting impact. If the site remains closed for renovations, your visit will include the Longues-sur-Mer Battery, one of the best-preserved German coastal defenses, with panoramic views across the invasion beaches.
Omaha Beach
Continue your journey to Omaha Beach, one of the most iconic D-Day landing zones. Walk along the sands where American soldiers bravely fought to secure a foothold in Nazi-occupied France, while your guide shares vivid stories of the intense battle that unfolded here.
Normandy American Cemetery
Conclude your half-day tour at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach. Spanning 170 acres, this peaceful memorial honors more than 9,000 U.S. servicemen who gave their lives for freedom. Stroll through the meticulously kept grounds, visit the memorial chapel, and reflect on the personal stories that define this solemn site.
