Stop atOmaha Beach
Here we will see many WN’s - (wiederstandnest- meaning German weapons strong point emplacements) from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville.We will visit some of these strong points, which were the better-defended German Positions along Omaha. We will stop at WN 62 and WN 65 in Fox Green and Easy Red sectors of the American landing, and WN 73 in Dog Green at Vierville. This beach assault was a difficult assignment, given to US V Corps (General Gerow) whose Force O was made up of the 1st Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, the Rangers and several attached Units.

Located on a cliff 8 miles west of the Cemetery, this monument was created by France to honour elements of the 2nd Rangers Battalion under the command of LTC James E.

Amazing Tour!
A7770LLchristineb, Dec 2024
We were really impressed with this tour! It was very informative and we were able to see several highlights of Normandy. It felt like we squeezed a lot into a short time, but never felt rushed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a great story teller. I highly recommend!
Great day with Guillaume

My partner and I had a fantastic experience with Guillaume as our guide. We were lucky to be the only participants that morning, which allowed us to get to know Guillaume even better. He presented the history of D-Day in a very interesting and engaging way. We only had the chance to join a four-hour tour, but it was more than enough to gain a profound insight into what happened here over 80 years ago. Highly recommended for everyone, both young and old.
A Very Memorable Time in Normandy

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with OverlordTour. The Omaha sector half day tour was a perfect amount of time to explore some of the D-Day sites. We felt very comfortable with our guide Stephen; he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous. We especially enjoyed visiting the American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer!
Highly recommended

Our guide Teo was absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable local with family that was there during the occupation and liberation. D-Day 110 day battle is his passion and it shows throughout the tour.
Worth it!
