Stop atOmaha Beach
Omaha Beach was known to be the most difficult military objective when the invasion of Normandy was being planned. In order to be sure that the Allied forces took it the youngest and most foolhardy soldiers were assigned to it, most of them were American. You'll walk on the same sands as them and learn about their acts of heroism and sacrifice.

Stop atOverlord Museum - Omaha Beach
Operation Overlord was the code name given to the Allied Invasion of northwest Europe. This museum has an unequaled collection of military equipment that was used to either defend or attack the coast of Normandy. Such as a full-sized authentic Higgins boat, with its front flap down, and impressive Sherman and Panzer tanks.

There are only little places with fresh local foods such as salads, omelets, barbecued meats, and crepes. We do not include your lunch in our tour price. You can pick whatever you want from the menu. Plan on spending 10-20€.

Stop atPointe du Hoc
The Pointe-du-Hoc was a strategic German defensive point that had huge guns pointed towards both Omaha and Utah Beaches. On D-day, it was a top priority to capture.

Before there was a war there were apple trees to tend in Normandy.

Expensive uber ride to hallowed ground.
WGreg_R, Dec 2024
The guide provided little or no guidance and told us very little about this incredible hallowed ground. We spent way too long at lunch (1.5 hours) and the Operation Overload Musuem (1.5) when we could have seen Utah beach and the Airborne drop areas. It was basically an expensive Uber ride. The van was too small for 8 adults - especially the back row. The cider tasting could have been skipped. Other tours I have done with you included a guide sharing lots of information. Five hours driving with virtually no discussion. Worth visiting Normady and the guide was pleasant but not very informative.
Fun with Phillipe.

This was so much fun. Exhausting but worth it. We saw everything I had hoped for and more. The final event was hearing taps played at the US cemetery as the flag was lowered at 5pm. There were a total of 7 in our van. It was a great blend of people. And we learned so much more than I ever knew.
Amazing Experience!!

We had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable friendly and provided everything we needed. Omaha Beach was particularly emotional for me but the entire trip was amazing! Thank you so much !!
Great.

We had a wonderful visit. Aaron was an excellent guide and paid attention room to detail. His military background added so much to the trip. His passion was evident in every aspect ou our trip and he didn’t mind staying longer to make sure we enjoyed our visit. Thank you so much Aaron. Paul and Karin.
