Overview

Embark on a private journey through the historic D-Day beaches of Normandy, tailored to your preferences. Whether you want to explore independently or with an expert guide providing in-depth commentary, this customizable tour ensures a personalized experience. Start your adventure from Le Havre in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and head to Utah Beach, where American forces landed during the D-Day invasion. Learn about the strategies and the sacrifices made in this critical battle.

Next, visit the historic town of Sainte-Mère-Église, famous for its role during the paratrooper landings. See the church where a soldier’s parachute got caught, a symbol of the bravery of the troops who descended into enemy territory.

Continue to the breathtaking Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Rangers heroically scaled the cliffs to attack the German strongholds. Walk through the preserved bunkers and admire the panoramic views of the coast. Then, head to Omaha Beach, one of the most significant and bloodiest sites of the D-Day invasion. Reflect on the courage of the soldiers who fought here.

Your final stop is the solemn American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, where thousands of soldiers who died during the invasion are laid to rest. Pay your respects at this peaceful memorial site overlooking Omaha Beach.

Amazing Experience

Loved this tour ! Visiting the various locations associated with WWII and understanding the French perspective of the US support and other allies was enlightening. Transportation and English speaking guide was great and perfect for our party of 6.

Incredible day with private tour guide....

Incredible day with private tour guide who helped us understand all the intricacies and details of the D-Day planning, landings, and battles. Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pont Du Hoc, bunkers, craters, hedgerows, and more. The Memorial was particularly special as we explored the chapel, cross headstones, and the wall of names of soldiers who have not yet been found. Our guide helped me contact the Visitor Center to arrange a remembrance of my grandfather's best friend who survived D-Day but died a month later. (I had not known to arrange it prior to the trip). We sanded his stone with sand from Omaha Beach (to help his name stand out in pictures) and placed an American and French flag at his grave. Such an amazing experience with my daughter! And the hospitality was incredible- we even stopped for omelettes and gallettes. We also added a round-trip transfer to and from our cruise port for added convenience and were so glad we did. Great trip!
