Leaving Bayeux, we head into the Normandy countryside on small backroads that most visitors never see. Stone farmhouses, rolling fields, and apple orchards line the way through quiet villages that feel largely unchanged by time. Nearing the coast, a path opens unexpectedly onto Omaha Beach — wide, windswept, and suddenly right in front of you. We take a moment before riding on to the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 white crosses stretch across the hillside in silence. The return to Bayeux follows the same unhurried rhythm — farmland, hedgerows, countryside roads that Allied troops once pushed through. A full day that stays with you.

Omaha Afternoon Half Day Tour to Visit the Landing Areas at Omaha Beach

Laurie_F, Jun 2026

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.

Half-Day Tour was the best!

The half-day tour was great! Our host, Valentin, was so knowledgeable and took a lot of time in his explanation. His passion for history was evident! We loved all the stops and had ample time to explore on our own. Would definitely book again! Well worth the money!

Full-Day US Battlefields of Normandy Tour from Bayeux (A3LST)

Brian_S, Jun 2026

Great tour

The beaches are further apart from each other than I had anticipated which is why an eight tour is hardly “plenty of time.” Our guide’s name was David and he was knowledgeable, personable and brought an enthusiasm to the historic events that’s not always easy to do when telling them over and over. Highly recommend

DDay remembered thanks to a wonderful guide

What a great experience with the help of our guide Lucy. From pickup to drop off nothing was missed and in a challenging overly busy period we met our objective of getting to each site for experience that I was looking for. Our guide was informative, pleasant, and really took care to make sure each member of the group was able to enjoy all of the locations we wanted to see and come away with a great memory. What made it impactful is the guide truly cared for each person and saw we were not lost in all the busy activities which brings perhaps the most people to DDay celebration in Normandie. Highly recommend the company and the guide and to do the tour b if you want to avoid crowds choose a day other than June 6. But we managed well. Bring attire for the weather as we experienced three seasons in one day. Thank you Lucy

Once in a life time trip

This tour is a wonderful way to get around all the important sites. Your guide will point out details you will not see otherwise. Our guides Remy and Thomas were knowledgeable, entertaining, and brought the historic events to life. We couldn’t imagine our time in Normandy without them!

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!!

Normandy WW2 Classic Jeep Tour

Patrice_W, Jul 2025

Unforgettable Tour with Eric in 1943 Classic Jeep

I travelled to Normandie with my 14 yo son to see WWII historical sites and to learn. We wanted to do a Classic Jeep Tour and I definitely chose well by booking with GoldBeach. We were so fortunate to have gotten Eric as our expert guide and smooth “double-clutcher”. He gives tours but I see that WWII history - preserving this knowledge and teaching it - is his true passion. It showed through on this tour, as we drove back roads through the French countryside and he spoke of individuals and waves of men fighting there, the challenges they faced, and the overall strategy for taking the German strong holds. Eric was able to make the story come alive with the landscape. I’d recommend the afternoon tour as the sun was golden in the fields and off the memorials in the cemetery. We went to the British Cemetery as he tailored our tour based on places we wouldn’t see the next day on another tour. We were taking. However, it was this tour that was so interactive and memorable. W60 was a strong hold on Omaha that he took us to. Also unique to this tour, my son and I loved going into the tunnels and mortars there and going into the woods to check out a gun post. Eric was so personable; having discussions with him was a pleasure for me and my son.
