Highlights
  • Sainte Mere Eglise - The first Americans to set foot in Normandy were parachuted into Sainte Mère Église. You will discover all the secrets with your expert guide from DDAY. This night of June 5 to 6, 1944 was long and sad. (not included) You can visit its famous Airborne Museum there.
  • Utah Beach - The first Normandy beach to be walked by the Americans on the day of the Normandy landings. The men of the 4th Infantry Division will meet the first enemy fire but heroically begin the liberation of Europe. (Not Included Possible visit to the Utah Beach Museum)
  • Pointe du Hoc - One of the riskiest maneuvers but also the most statistical was given to the 2nd Ranger Battalion under the orders of Col Rudder. The cliffs were not the best place for a troop disembarkation, however this was a must and you will discover it thanks to your guide.
  • Omaha Beach - This 8 km long beach known throughout the world for having been the scene of tragic battles. The stars were not aligned on June 6, 1944 for the Allied troops to land safely. Your guide will reveal to you the why of this “bloody Omaha” beach.
  • Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer - It is with a different eye that you will discover this cemetery. All the information that you will have accumulated during this day will make you walk the alleys of a cemetery with an immense feeling of nascent or growing respect.

Best customized service - Oh my goodness! I just looked at my bookings on my current trip and saw I failed to leave a review for this tour. We were very impressed with the historical knowledge that was given to us as we traveled throughout the area. Our guide was very thoughtful and made every effort to take us to the sites that mattered most to us. In addition, we were taken to a lovely restaurant for a much needed break and sustenance! Following our last stop and before being taken to the train station, he was kind enough to take us to a grocery store so we could buy provisions for our long train ride back to Paris. Best picnic in a long time!

D Day Tout - We had a wonderful 8 hour tour with John taking in all the D Day sights. He was extremely knowledgeable about the activities of the WWII that surrounded the landing at Normandy, both on the beaches and the surrounding countryside. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an account of what happened during this amazing time in history!!

Powerful, surreal, humbling and amazing. - This tour was everything I hoped for and more. Eric, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He was attentive and accommodating. Eric spent extra time at Omaha Beach because that’s where my Dad landed on June 6, 1944 with “The Big Red One” and he knew it was important to me. He showed me in detail where my Dad landed and the route he took to the church where they set up camp. He highlighted a map of my Dad’s journey for me to see and keep. Eric also brought a humanness to the stories he told about all the different types of landings in the invasion and to the different sides of the war. I would highly recommend this tour!

Thanks for a perfect tour! - Arthur, our guide, was perfect! Knowledgeable and delightful. It was exactly what we were looking for! His passion for history added to his presentation. He was personable and we felt so comfortable asking anything! We wanted to specifically go to the area of the beach where my husbands father had been on an LCI and he took us exactly there!

Absolutely Amazing Experience - Katell was an absolutely amazing guide. Our group included a history major and multiple people with a lot of historical knowledge. She was so informative and ready to answer all the questions we had. I'm so glad Katell was our guide!

Would Give 6 If I Could - We had a two-day private tour with Alex. Thorough, thoughtful, detailed and enlightening visits and insights to Juno, Omaha and Gold beach invasions. My only regret is that we didn't have longer. We are big fans of one-on-one tours and Alex was as good as one can get. Simply terrific two days! Thank you, Alex and Gold Beach Company.
