Meet Your Expert D-Day Guide
Meet your English-speaking local guide in Bayeux, a specialist in the Normandy landings and D-Day, who will introduce the key sites and schedule of your private half-day tour. Travel in a spacious, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan reserved just for your party, equipped with Wi‑Fi, bottled water and an audio system so you can clearly hear the commentary from any seat.
Discover Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc
Your D-Day experience begins along the coastal battlefield road at Omaha Beach, the most heavily defended of the landing beaches, where your guide brings to life the challenges faced by American troops on 6 June 1944. Continue to Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Rangers scaled 30‑metre cliffs under fire to neutralize German positions; walking among bomb craters and bunkers, you can still see the scars of intense bombardments.
Pay Tribute at the Normandy American Cemetery
End the tour at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach, where rows of white crosses honor the American soldiers who fell in the Battle of Normandy. You’ll have time to reflect, visit the Visitor Center to deepen your understanding of the D-Day landings, and then relax on the drive back to Bayeux.
