Half Day Omaha Beach & Pointe du Hoc DDay Tour from Bayeux

from $1,000

We start at the foot of Bayeux Cathedral, consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror, then leave the town behind onto backroads no tour bus can follow. Stone farmhouses, orchards, and villages little changed since 1944 mark the way to the coast. Then, without warning, a narrow path opens onto Omaha Beach — its full width and silence arriving at once. From there we continue to the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 crosses and Stars of David stand across 172 acres above the bluffs, beside the Memorial, Chapel, and Garden of the Missing. The ride back retraces quieter ground — hedgerows and farm roads Allied troops once fought through — before Bayeux's towers reappear ahead. Throughout, this remains your tour alone: your guide, your pace, and your language, whether English, French, or Mandarin.

What are people saying about Normandy

Linda_S, Jul 2026

The Past- WWll

I learned more on this trip that I learned in school. The guide Moana was superb. Extensive background information for each of the places visited was shared by the guide. Pictures maps and charts as a part of the background information were well placed throughout the tour. Once at a location, there was sufficient time for exploration of the site/location. Stories as to why things were the way they were made the trip more meaningful.

Monet's Gardens & House-Private Giverny Tour From Paris

Cheryl_C, Jul 2026

To walk in the actual footsteps of greatness

Julien is an exceptional guide and an accomplished student of art history. He taught us about Monet the man by telling us the story of his life and guiding us to stand in the places where he lived, was inspired, created his works, and died. It was a peak behind the curtain that allowed us to walk in the actual footsteps of the man. Being guided to stand in and see a glimpse of Monet's world, I now see his work with a far deeper appreciation for the genius of his impressionistic expression of his vision on canvas. Thank you, Julien.

Great day and experience.

Couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Our tour guide, Victor was wonderful! Victor had a great personality and was so informative about the d-day invasion and the history of the area. We thought we knew a lot of the history, but he shed light on so many things that we weren’t aware of. We had 5 in our tour and it was so personal. Even though we didn’t know each other at the start we all connected and Victor made that possible.

Respect for heroes

Our guide Thierry was very kind and had great knowledge of events in WWII. We were very comfortable in the modern clean vehicle used with Air Conditioning on a very hot day. We were offered cold drinks as well. The taps ceremony (lowering of the American flag) at 4 pm was very poignant and we were grateful for the respect given our military heroes.

Yoshihiro_W, Jun 2026

I joined the Normandy...

I joined the Normandy Beach tour on what was probably the busiest day of the year, but Lucie was an outstanding guide. She skillfully adjusted the schedule throughout the day to avoid crowds at each site and traffic on the roads, making sure we were able to see all the important locations. I was late starting my museum visit, but Lucie guided me as efficiently as possible so that I could still see almost everything. Her flexibility, quick judgment, and professionalism made the experience smooth and enjoyable despite the heavy crowds. I would absolutely recommend Lucie as a guide.

Omaha Beach Tour

Faustin was an excellent guide and driver. He was patient with the couple that got lost on the way to the pickup point and his attitude was the reason the other passengers were also accepting of the situation. He was full of knowledge about the area and historical references. I would love to do another tour with him in the future.

Say yes to visiting Honfleur and Deauville, France

Excellent tour easily accessed right from the Le Havre cruise terminal. Lawrence was our guide, and he is extremely knowledgeable about Honfleur, Deauville, Normandy, and France in general. We were very comfortable, highly entertained, educated and had plenty of free time in Honfleur and Deauville to walk around and explore. Highly recommend this tour.

Normandy American & British DDay Beaches Halfday Tour from Bayeux

Bryce_F, May 2026

Great service and so friendly

Definitely worthwhile. First off - the service. We had challenges with trains and luggage getting to Bayeaux and they saved the day last minute by taking our luggage in the tour van. Then after they made a special trip to drop off us with luggage at our hotel which was amazing. It really saved our day. In terms of the tour I really appreciated seeing and hearing about some of the less considered parts of d day like the logistics. We all know the famous beach stories - and it’s amazing to see Omaha - but I feel like I got a lot more appreciation of the whole operation. Plus our guide really focused on the human factor - the loss of life and huge impacts - on both the soldiers and the French. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone. I will advise that coming to Bayeaux in the morning without any place to leave your luggage will make the day harder. There are luggage storage places but they take lunch beaks from 12-2. So make sure you have a plan for luggage or come the day before so you can have a stress free day.

Leigh_S, May 2026

Excellent!

The tour and the tour guide were excellent, the kids really enjoyed it especially the quicksand. Would highly recommend. Tips: Bring a spare change of shorts or wear swimming trunks in case you get wet while trying out the quick sand. Bring a small snack/drink/beer for when you stop on the little island; tombiline. Follow the other advice in terms of clothing and equipment as detailed on the website. Enjoy!

Private Day Tour including Normandy Landing Beaches & Battlefields from Caen

Tony_T, Apr 2026

Excellent Tour

In short, our tour through Normandy was excellent. We're a family of three, and as this was our first time in Normandy, we wanted to see as much as possible. We figured a private tour would allow us to accomplish this goal. We truly lucked out with our tour guide, Emmanuel, who was able to accommodate our agenda. At each stop, he was able to provide additional background and details while giving us the time and space to explore on our own. In addition, he was kind, funny, and a great driver! To highlight how Emmanuel made the trip extra special, my dad had mentioned in passing that he had served in the US Coast Guard. During our stop at the Normandy American Cemetery, Emmanuel made sure to point out the lone Coast Guard member listed in the Garden of the Missing. We definitely recommend this trip (and Emmanuel) for others!

Exceptional tour guide

Pierre was phenomenal. So very knowledgeable about not only D Day but the local town as well. He was obviously passionate about what he does and was friendly and engaging throughout the entire day. The tour was perfect blend of guided information and free time to explore the various sites as well. Our train was delayed and like the description states, he did in fact wait for us before leaving to get started. Would absolutely recommend. Pierre was amazing!!
