1
Your tour begins at Place du Général Kœnig
You'll meet your guide at Place du Général Kœnig and hop aboard a private bus bound for Normandy. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Operation Overlord as you roll through farmland toward the coast. -
2
Utah Beach Museum
At Utah Beach, you'll step into a real German bunker that's now a world-class museum. This is where American boots first hit French sand on June 6, 1944. Inside, you'll find one of only six B-26 bombers left in existence and hear stories of the soldiers who changed history. -

Norman lunch overlooking Grandcamp Maisy
Time to taste what makes Normandy famous. You'll sit down to a meal of seasonal ingredients at a local restaurant perched above the harbor. Fresh bread, regional cheeses, and local cider fuel you up for the afternoon ahead. -

Pointe du Hoc cliffs
Climbing to the top of these 100-foot cliffs, you'll spot bomb craters and concrete bunkers still scarred by battle. Allied Rangers scaled these rock faces under enemy fire to knock out German guns. Standing here, wind in your face, the bravery becomes real. -

Omaha Beach and American Cemetery
Below the bluff lies Omaha Beach, where waves now lap quietly at the sand that saw the fiercest fighting of D-Day. Above, white crosses stretch across a manicured lawn. You'll walk among the graves, read names, and look out over the beach where these soldiers gave everything. -

Customer Reviews
Sam was terrific! He provided pertinent historical information, which helped to understand the event, but didn’t talk too much. He also provided logistical info about the trip, so we always knew what and when things were happening. I felt horrible that I did not tip him and the drivers, but we had just arrived to Paris and had no cash. I know he was disappointed. Otherwise, overall, , a great experience!
The tour was good, lunch was surprisingly good. Everyone happy with different selections. We stopped at more locations than we anticipated which was great. Maja was knowledgeable but occasionally difficult to understand but not bad. Her ire at late passengers was understandable but we shouldn’t have seen that or heard about it! Overall nice experience.
Maja made the tour enjoyable and informative. Enjoyed seeing Pointe du Hock and hearing about Lt. Rudder, who later was the President of Texas A&M when I enrolled there.
