Stop atPointe du Hoc
At Pointe du Hoc, you'll find yourself amidst the key events of the D-Day landings. This cliff between Utah and Omaha Beach was a major German defense point. It had strongholds and artillery that posed a real threat to the Allies. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers climbed these tall cliffs under heavy fire to secure the area. Their bravery was pivotal for the Normandy invasion's success. Today, you can see the remnants of war, like bomb craters and damaged bunkers, and a monument dedicated to the Rangers. Walking here, you'll truly feel the significance of what happened.

Omaha Beach, often referred to as "Bloody Omaha," holds a significant place in World War II history. It was one of the primary landing points during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, where the Allied forces faced intense combat, marking it as a pivotal location in the larger campaign. Today, the beach stands as a somber testament to their bravery and sacrifice. As visitors tread its sands, they can reflect on the profound history and pay their respects. At this point during the day we will distribute packed lunches. Our team has personally prepared a homemade baguette lunch for you, alongside which you will receive water and dessert.

Each marker lets you marvel at a life devoted to freedom, highlighting the deep scars of war. Inside the Memorial Chapel, a silent sentinel to the fallen, take a moment to reflect, express gratitude, and immerse yourself in the depth of bravery displayed. This sacred ground invites you to deeply connect, remember, and honor the past.

Excellent tour to Normandy
Marvin_R, Dec 2024
Maria, our guide, did an excellent job on this trip. She was very articulate in explaining what it was like on D-Day, including Omaha Beach and the American/German grave sites. Any group she gets assigned to should consider themselves lucky.

Wonderful tour with Bertram!
Tracy_H, Dec 2024
We really enjoyed our guide, Bertram- he obviously loved his job. Meeting the buscwas efficient and easy. The bus was very nice and the lunch was delicious. I especially liked the raspberry macaron. We had plenty of time to see everything. We normally would not spend this much on an excursion- but we definitely enjoyed it.
