Amazing Experience

Steven_B, Dec 2024

Loved this tour. Visiting the various locations associated with WWII and understanding the French perspective of the US support and other allies was enlightening. Transportation and English speaking guide was great and perfect for our party of 6.

Incredible day in Normandy remembering the D-Day landings with private tour guide

SarahLauren_K, Dec 2024

Incredible day with private tour guide who helped us understand all the intricacies and details of the D-Day planning, landings, and battles. Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pont Du Hoc, bunkers, craters, hedgerows, and more. The Memorial was particularly special as we explored the chapel, cross headstones, and the wall of names of soldiers who have not yet been found. Our guide helped me contact the Visitor Center to arrange a remembrance of my grandfather's best friend who survived D-Day but died a month later. (I had not known to arrange it prior to the trip). We sanded his stone with sand from Omaha Beach (to help his name stand out in pictures) and placed an American and French flag at his grave. Such an amazing experience with my daughter! And the hospitality was incredible- we even stopped for omelettes and gallettes. We also added a round-trip transfer to and from our cruise port for added convenience and were so glad we did. Great trip!
